Carbon Filters

Carbon of the highest quality
Carbon Filters have many benefits for water an other liquids and gases but there are several different carbon grades and good and bad filter types. KX Industries is regarded as the highest grade of Carbon and KX Industries was purchased by Graver Technologies / Marmon group in 2007. Graver Technologies is represented exclusively for the UK and Ireland by CFS so if you want the best but don't want to pay the most the choice is simple, call us now and cut your carbon costs. Uses of Carbon 1 Remove chlorine 2 Remove taste 3 Remove odor 4 Remove heavy metals. With KX Carbon block filter the carbon block also is manufactured of such an accurate pore structure that certain filter grades can be used for Cryptosporidium removal . The perils of Granular carbon filters and why we recommend Carbon Block Granular carbon filters are by their design made from granular carbon. This means several things. 1 Granular carbon means that the carbon is not solid and as such the carbon can move in the canister it is enclosed. This generates carbon dust which can get flushed down stream into the treated tank or the carbon caries over to the next filtration stage aiding blockage of that filter. 2 As the carbon settles in the canister in "transit" or after filling the carbon can generate a section at the top of just air or space. If the filter flow is in a radial direction i means liquid or gas can flow through untreated, making it pointless having the filter at all. If the filter has a longitudinal flow then movement of the carbon at the top is likely. 3 Granular carbon can "Fluidise" meaning there is no guiaranteed contact time with the carbon and the liquid, another problem not present with KX Industries carbon block filters. Carbon Filters a true breakthrough If you need Carbon filters CFS is probably the best option to support your needs but with every good product we would not do our job properly if we did not make you aware of the downside of any carbon filter. If you are using a carbon filter to remove chlorine, after tat carbon filter there is nothing in the water to stop microbial growth hence water should not be stored but kept moving and microbial filtration should be considered at point of use. If you have a new application for Carbon filters please let CFS assist your requirements and size your system to ensure the flow rate is right and the filter housing optomised. If you buy carbon filters already, possibly manufactured by Amatek or another carbon filter manufacturers look at CFS for savings and the assurance of quality you and your company deserve Did you know exacly how strong a carbon filter is? A Matrix Carbon filter has a colapse pressure of over 14 bar (200 psi) adn a maximum differential recommended of over 7 bar. The Ceamikx has a max. of 9 bar. This is far higher than any other known carbon filter of this type..

KC Industries Matrix CT/2
Known as the "Workhorse" the CT/02 is NSF approved and offers: 5 micron nominal filtration High Adsorptive Capacity and Efficiency Efficient Sediment Filter No release of Carbon Fines Competitively Priced vs GAC filters Performance Tested and Verified by Independent Laboratory Testing The Matrikx CT0/2 filters are the most widely used carbon block device not just in the UK but in the world and provides previously unattainable performance for the lowest price. This filter should make all granular activated carbon filters redundant as this generally outperforms them for a competitive price. The CT/2 is an efficient 5 micron nominal filter which simultaneously removes chlorine, odor and organic chemicals. The manufacturing process produces a matrix of pores which means that the process liquid has a vastly increases contact efficiency with the carbon. In essence your water or liquid will be in contact with the carbon this can not be avoided again a potential weakness with Granular carbon. This filter has to be the choice of 90% of Carbon filter users! The remaining 10% will want another KX Matrix filter from the range.
