## Overview
Compact carbon block cartridge delivering superior adsorption, offered in stainless steel construction for hygienic, high-temperature, and aggressive services

## How It Works
Liquid passes through a high-surface-area carbon block that adsorbs organic and chemical contaminants. The rigid stainless steel design accommodates repeated thermal sanitization cycles and aggressive process conditions while maintaining consistent adsorption and service life.

## Applications
- Chlorine/chloramine reduction for steam-sanitized RO and taste/odor
- PFAS polishing for remediation/industrial reuse
- VOC and color removal in process water
- Tank vent and process exhaust VOC adsorption
- Odor control for wastewater/chemical storage
- Produced-water organics polishing
- Slop-water VOC/BTEX reduction
- Process water dechlorination
- Decolorization/organics removal in chemicals/coatings
- Plating bath organics control (017 formulation)
