Turbidex Filter Granules, 1/2 Cubic Foot Box

- formerly known as ChemSorb or Chem Sorb

High purity, low sodium, natural, zeolite, mineral (14 x 30 mesh) that is classified as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) under 21CFR part 182.2729 and 40 CFR Part 180.1001 with ANSI/NSF Standard 61 Listing. 

The material is mined, crushed, dried and double screen, sized to produce a high quality filter media with Uniformity Coefficient of 1.64 having high through-put capacity at low differential pressure. The alumni-silicate, crystal, mineral material has surface micro-mineral projections with 0.25 to 10mm spacing that effectively trap suspended solids in water streams.

The surface, micro-projections, together with the high surface area makes this material an ideal, water filtration media. The material is mineralogically and thermally stabile to 500°C. Advantages of ChemSorb Filter Granules versus conventional sand, anthracite and multimedia filter media are below:

- Higher filtration capacity without additional capital costs
- Reduced backwash frequency reduces costs and saves labor
- High flow rate capacity - gravity flow (4 gpm/ft2) and pressure vessels (12-20 gpm/ft2)
- Linear/near linear, head loss curve with superior, depth removal of suspended soilds
- Superior filtration eating (5 micron nominal) translates to enhanced water quality

Physical Properties:
- Bulk Density:............................... 50 lbs per cubic foot
- Mesh Size:................................... 14 x 30
- Color:........................................... off White
- Surface Area:............................... Avg. 14-25 m2/g
- Filtration Nominal Rating:........... 3-5 microns
- Bed Depth..................................... 30 - 48 Inches
- Freeboard...................................... 50% Bed Depth
- Flow Rate...................................... 12 - 20 gpm /ft^2

Applications:
Used as a water/liquid, filter bed (or tank) material in lieu of sand/anthracite, pecan shells or other coarse filtration material to efficiently remove suspended solids and fine turbidity particles. The filter granules physically filter and remove a wide range of colloidal and soluble, inorganic metallic, contaminants by surface sorption, chemical-binding, charge-neutralization, coagulation, reactions and/or ionic, ion-exchange phenomena.

- Replacement media for sand/anthracite
