Activated Carbon GAC 1240
Coal-based granular activated carbon (12×40 mesh) for taste, odour, chlorine, and dissolved-organic removal in municipal and industrial water treatment.
Quick Answer
Activated Carbon GAC 1240 is a coal-based granular activated carbon (12×40 mesh) with a high iodine number. It removes chlorine, taste, odour, and dissolved organic compounds from water by physical adsorption, and is widely used in municipal potable-water filters and industrial process-water polishing.

Product Overview
GAC 1240 is a high-activity granular activated carbon produced from selected coal, steam-activated to develop a broad pore-size distribution suited to liquid-phase adsorption. The 12×40 mesh granule balances adsorption kinetics against pressure drop in fixed-bed contactors.
Typical Applications
Dechlorination and taste/odour control in potable water, removal of dissolved organic carbon and colour, polishing of process and beverage water, and protection of downstream membranes and ion-exchange resin.
FAQ
Can the carbon be reactivated?
Yes — spent GAC can be thermally reactivated and returned to service, reducing lifecycle cost and disposal. SorbiTech can arrange reactivation and top-up programmes.
What contact time is recommended?
Empty-bed contact time of 8–15 minutes is typical for dechlorination and taste/odour duties; longer for dissolved-organic removal. Our team will size the bed for your flow and target.
Compatible Systems
Coalescing Filtration Skid
Two-stage coalescer/separator skid removing fine dispersed hydrocarbons and solids from water down to single-digit ppm — a polishing stage after gravity separation.
