AquaSorb® 2000
Granular coal based activated carbon

P roduct Intro d u c t i o n

A q u a S o r b ® 2000 is a principal high activity granular activated carbon manufactured by steam

activation from selected grades of bituminous coal. The perfect balance between adsorption
and transport pores provides optimum perf o rmance in a wide range of water tre a t m e n t
applications. The product is a high density adsorbent and provides maximum volume activity.
The material is water washed during manufacture and there f o re wets rapidly. The excellent
h a rdness and mechanical strength ensures negligible losses during backwashing, air scouring
and multiple reactivations (consult technical bulletin TB-308/R/ENG for more inform a t i o n ) .
