OLC 12x30 - Calgon Carbon

PRODUCT BULLETIN
OLC 12x30
Coconut Granular Activated Carbon
Description
Specifications
OLC 12x30 is a coconut activated carbon for the removal of dissolved
organic contaminants from water, wastewater and process liquids.
These contaminants include taste and odor compounds, organic color,
total organic carbon (TOC) and industrial chemicals such as
chlorinated solvents (TCE, PCE). It is produced under controlled
conditions by high temperature steam activation. The pore structure
enables it to be used for adsorption of both high and low molecule
weight impurities from waters and liquids. The carbon is especially
effective for adsorbing trace organic compounds such as vinyl
chloride, methylene chloride, MTBE and THM’s/disinfection
by-products. OLC 12 x 30 is certified to NSF/ANSI 61 standard.

Features
• Coconut carbon
• Low ash
• High mechanical strength
Benefits
• High hardness relative to other raw materials.
• Hardness and abrasion resistance required for thermal
reactivation and minimizing generation of fines in
operations requiring backwashing.
• Pore structure provides a wide range of contaminant
removal capabilities.

Design Considerations
OLC 12x30 coconut activated carbon is typically applied in down-flow
packed bed operations using both pressure and gravity systems.
Design considerations for a carbon system is based on the user’s
operating conditions, the treatment objectives desired, and the
chemical nature of the compounds being adsorbed. In general,
downflowrate superficial velocity can be from 1 gpm/ft2 to
10 gpm/ft2, depending on the application and contact times can vary
from 7.5 minutes to hours. Design may vary based on the type
water/liquid, contaminants to remove, and desired treatment
objectives. To determine what is best for your application and
assistance with the design, please contact Calgon Carbon Corporation
by calling 1-800-4-CARBON.

Safety Message
50
Wet activated carbon preferentially removes oxygen from air. In closed
or partially closed containers and vessels, oxygen depletion may reach
hazardous levels. If workers are to enter a vessel containing carbon,
appropriate sampling and work procedures for potentially low oxygen
spaces should be followed, including all applicable federal and state
requirements. Please refer to the MSDS for all up to date product
safety information.
