Product description
High capacity carbon block filter cartridge combining activated carbon and depth filtration
The high capacity carbon block filter cartridge is designed to deliver premium chlorine, taste and odour reduction while maintaining exceptionally low pressure drop. Based on advanced Fibredyne carbon technology, this cartridge combines activated carbon adsorption with depth filtration in a single filtration stage.
By embedding powdered activated carbon within a polyethylene fibre matrix, the cartridge achieves high sediment reduction, extended service life and consistent filtration performance across a wide range of applications.
Filtration principle
The cartridge utilises Fibredyne technology, where powdered activated carbon is uniformly distributed throughout a depth filtration matrix. Process liquid flows through the full depth of the cartridge, allowing simultaneous adsorption of dissolved contaminants and mechanical removal of sediment.
This filtration principle provides:
-
effective chlorine, taste and odour reduction
-
high sediment removal efficiency
-
low pressure drop compared to traditional carbon blocks
-
extended service life due to depth loading
-
stable performance throughout the cartridge lifetime
The one-stage filtration approach simplifies system design and operation.
Media technology and uniqueness
Fibredyne carbon technology combines the benefits of activated carbon filtration with depth filtration performance. Powdered activated carbon is embedded within a polyethylene matrix, ensuring uniform contaminant contact and preventing channeling.
Key media characteristics include:
-
powdered activated carbon embedded in fibre matrix
-
high sediment holding capacity
-
reduced pressure drop compared to conventional carbon blocks
-
consistent adsorption efficiency over time
This makes the cartridge suitable for applications requiring both particulate and chemical contaminant removal.
Design and construction
The cartridge is designed in a standard cylindrical format compatible with common cartridge housings. The structure ensures mechanical stability while allowing high flow rates and efficient contaminant removal.
Typical design features include:
-
depth filtration carbon media structure
-
integrated sediment and carbon filtration
-
polyethylene support matrix
-
standard cartridge format for easy replacement
