Knowde Enhanced TDS
Identification & Functionality
- Chemical Family
- Technologies
Features & Benefits
- Features
- Combines a fine pore structure and high catalytic activity for enhanced adsorption of trace contaminants.
- Not impregnated
- High hardness
- Simple equipment design (no pumps or addition of chemicals required)
- Smaller system size as compared to standard carbons; lower capital requirements.
- No safety concerns with exotherms or toxicity as with impregnated carbons.
- Wide applicability; can eliminate chemical addition.
- Recycling and Reactivation
Though CENTAUR is 100-percent freshly manufactured virgin GAC, it can be recycled and reused through thermal reactivation to restore its adsorptive capacity. This eliminates the costs and long-term liability associated with the disposal of spent GAC, and provides customers with a consistent, reliable supply of filtration media.

CENTAUR-C 12x40 can be utilized in the liquid phase for the promotion of oxidation, reduction, decomposition, substitution, and elimination reactions. Specific applications include chloramines and hydrogen sulfide removal from potable, process and other waters and peroxide destruction.
The catalytic activity and enhanced adsorption ability makes CENTAUR-C 12x40 a good performer in other applications such as the treatment of process water in the bottling and soft drink industries and in treating aquarium water.

Regulatory & Compliance
- Regulatory
This product complies with ANSI/AWWA B604 (2005) – Granular Activated Carbon and complies with the requirements for activated carbon as defined by the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) (8th Edition) published by the U.S. Pharmacopeia.
Technical Details & Test Data
- Typical Pressure Drop
- Typical Bed Expansion During Backwash
- Design Considerations
CENTAUR-C 12x40 is intended primarily for use in liquid phase applications where maximization of catalytic reaction is desired. Depending on the reactant type, concentrations and process conditions, the contact time in fixed bed systems is typically less than seven minutes.
Safety & Health
- Safety
Wet activated carbon can deplete oxygen from air in enclosed spaces. If use in an enclosed space is required, procedures for work in an oxygen deficient environment should be followed.
