Coconut Carbon by the KG Kilogram, per 2.2lbs - Filtrex Eco Green Carbon

Eco Carb™, coconut shell based activated carbon that is produced with greatly reduced green house gas emissions. The charring of the coconut shell is done in a reactor to capture all the Methane and VOC gases and convert them into useful energy. This pollution free high quality char is steam activated with the latest technology in a rotary kiln to produce high quality activaded carbon with exceptionally high performance. Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is certified as GREEN CARBON™ is available in Standard and Custom specifications. Products carry NSF and WQA certification.

ordered by the kg (kilogram or 2.2lbs) (carbon is quite light so 1kg may be more than you think)

Activated carbon, in one form or another, is a component of almost every water filtration system in the world. This is because it is the most effective way to reduce chlorine and other types of chemical contamination commonly found in water, thereby improving taste and odour. These contaminants adsorb (stick to the surface) on the carbon, which has an incredibly high surface area owing to its complex pore structure.

However, this does not mean that all activated carbons are equal. Activated carbon can be made from many different base materials, including coal, wood, lignite, and coconut shell. Each has its own individual characteristics and pore structure. The most effective for the treatment of drinking water, thanks to its predominantly micro-porous structure, is coconut shell. More micro pores mean higher adsorption capacity and superior water flow. Filtrex Technologies is a specialist in the manufacture of high quality activated carbon blocks made from coconut shells. Its proprietary manufacturing techniques turn this high-performance coconut shell carbon into filters with:
