Calgon activated carbon made from coal (coal base) produced in the USA.
Today's water filters require filter media. The filter media serves to purify water, remove odors, remove metal contamination, remove manganese, iron and remove yellowish color. This filter media has various kinds, namely:
-Activated carbon is a filter media that serves to absorb existing materials. This activated carbon is made from coconut shells.
- Silica sand is a filter media that serves to remove mud, small and large particles. Silica sand has several mesh
-Manganeese greensand is a filter media with Japanese technology that serves to remove manganese, iron and hydrogen sulfide content.
-Anthracite is a filter media that serves to remove water turbidity. The function of these objects is almost similar to silica sand. However, this anthracite has advantages over silica sand, including:
1.Higher carbon content
2.Resistant to water pressure
3.Has a filter power from the top layer to the bottom layer
-Cation anion resin is a filter media that serves to remove calcium in water or calcareous water. Cation anion resin uses a demineralization process which functions to remove mineral ions dissolved in water.
Zeolite is a filter media that functions to stabilize pH, filter water, water softener and remove iron and manganese content. This zeolite is used for fish pond filtration, industry, and households.
The filter media used today is calgon activated carbon which has a material from coal which functions to absorb unpleasant odors and remove organic and inorganic substances. This Calgon activated carbon has an iodine number greater than KDK activated carbon. The specifications are as follows:
Iodine Number: 1000 Mg/G
Size: 8 x 30 mesh
Packing: 25 kg plastic bag
Production: USA
Calgon activated carbon application:
-Drinking water treatment
-Wastewater treatment
