High Activity Carbon (HAC) may be used for a variety of water

treatment applications requiring the reduction of chlorine, tastes,

and odors.

Clack granular activated carbon is
designed for reduction of tastes, odors
and dissolved organic chemicals from
municipal and industrial water supplies.
Manufactured in the United States from
select grades of bituminous coal to
produce a high density, durable granular
product capable of withstanding the
abrasion and dynamics associated with
repeated hydraulic transport, backwashing
and mechanical handling. Activation
is carefully controlled to produce
exceptionally high internal surface area
with optimum pore size for the adsorption
of a broad range of high and low
molecular weight organic contaminants.
One of the most common applications
for Clack High Activity Carbon (HAC) is
the reduction of the undesirable tastes
and odors present in many chlorinated
water supplies. HAC has been successful
for many years in the reduction of free
chlorine from water supplies. The end
product is clean, fresh water with no
objectionable taste or odor characteristics.
High Activated
Carbon (HAC)
To obtain maximum efficiency of the
activated carbon in the adsorption process,
it is desirable to have the greatest possible
surface area in the smallest practical
volume. This is necessary because the
rate of adsorption is proportional to the
amount of surface area of the adsorbing
medium media. HAC has a surface area of
850 square meters per gram. This results
in high efficiency and greater system
economy. Clack has for many years
provided activated carbon to the OEM and
replacement market as a pre-treatment for
other water purification systems as well as
for use in individual treatment equipment
for the removal of specific impurities.
HAC requires periodic backwashing to
eliminate accumulated suspended matter
and to re-grade the filter bed. HAC has
an extremely high capacity but must be
replaced when the filter bed loses the
capacity for reduction of taste and odor.
HAC may be used in either domestic or
industrial applications using gravity flow
or pressurized filter vessels.

ADVANTAGES PHYSICAL PROPERTIES CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION

• HAC is an outstanding material for
applications requiring taste, odor
and dissolved organic chemical
removal from water with suspended
matter present. This product can be
used for filtering waters having a
wide range of pH levels.
• Large surface area results in an
exceptionally high capacity and
efficiency.
• Balanced pore structure gives a
more efficient adsorbtion range.
• HAC is very durable so losses due to
attrition are kept to a minimum.
• HAC has a very high carbon-low ash
content.
• Service rates of 5 gpm/sq. ft. are
practical for ordinary taste, odor and
chlorine loads.
• HAC will impart a high “polish” to
the filtered water.
• Color: Black
• Mesh Size: 10
• Bulk Density: 31 lbs./cu. ft.
• Specific Gravity: 1.4-1.5 gm/cc
• Effective Size: 0.55-0.75 mm, 0.65
typical
• Water Soluble Ash: less than 0.5%
• Iodine #: 850 min., 900 typical
• Abrasion #: 75 min., 81 typical
• Moisture as packed: 2% max., 0.7%
typical
• Meets American Water Works
Association standard B604-96
• Water to be filtered should
preferably be free of oil and
suspended matter
• The water to be filtered should be
relatively free of iron and turbidity
for maximum service life
• Water pH range: wide range
• Bed depth: 26-30 in.
• Freeboard: 50% of bed depth (min.)
• Service flow rate: 5 gpm/sq. ft.
• Backwash flow rate: 10-12 gpm/sq.
ft.
• Backwash bed expansion: 30-40%
of bed depth
• Upon installation, backwash to
remove carbon fines before placing
unit into service
