NORIT GAC 1240W

NORIT GAC 1240W is a granular activated carbon, which is suitable in a wide range of applications such as purification of (potable) water and industrial process liquids. NORIT GAC 1240W is very suitable for removal of f.i. natural organics, colour bodies, pesticides, detergents, chlorinated solvents and compounds causing taste and odour problems. NORIT GAC 1240W is produced by steam activation of coal; its superior hardness makes it particularly suited for thermal reactivation. NORIT GAC 1240W meets the requirements of the US Food Chemicals Codex (4th edition, 1996).

NOTES 1. All analyses based on NORIT Standard Test Methods (NSTM) 2. General characteristics reflect average values of product quality. Specifications are guaranteed values based on lot to lot quality control. HYDRODYNAMIC PROPERTIES Detailed information on the hydrodynamic properties of NORIT GAC 1240W is available on request. REACTIVATION The superior hardness of NORIT GAC 1240W makes it very suitable for thermal reactivation. Reactivation of exhausted carbon can be carried out in kilns on site or at one of NORIT's reactivation plants. The best option depends on the distance between client and the nearest NORIT reactivation plant and on the amount of carbon to be reactivated per annum. PACKAGING NORIT GAC 1240W is available in bulk tank cars. Other packaging options are available on request.

Caution: For health and safety related aspects of NORIT GAC 1240W, please refer to the Material Safety Datasheet (MSDS), which is available on request.
