GC-C40 is a Bituminous Coal pelletized activated carbon. It is a standard activated carbon that works by capturing hydrogen sulfide and other volatile organic compound's molecules within the graphitic platelet structure of the carbon granules. Activated carbon has a specific capacity for each of these compounds; once this capacity is reached, subsequent incoming VOC’s “breakthrough” untreated.
GC-C40 Activated Carbon is utilized in the following Wolverine Brand activated carbon filters:
WLV-4
ELF-2.5
WVI
GC-C40 is utilized for these filters because:
The relatively low H2S concentration typically found in home septic systems does not require the more expensive catalytic activated carbons.
The pelletized activated carbons are cleaner to work with, making it ideal for homeowner applications
Specifications:
Their high activity and surface area make GC-C40 ideal for most vapor phase applications. The uniformity of its shape makes GC-C40 particularly attractive in applications where low pressure drop is a consideration
Made from virgin activated carbon
Derived from bituminous coal
Pelletized activated carbon is cleaner to handle than its granular counterparts
