CHEMAG Series GFCC Granular Carbon Treatment Systems
CHEMAG GFCC Carbon Treatment Systems simplify organic removal by combining a rechargeable granular carbon canister with an integral absolute-rated pleated polishing filter to prevent carbon bypass. Glass-free polypropylene construction ensures corrosion resistance and long service life. These systems replace complex horizontal disc setups, reducing labor and maintenance costs while delivering reliable carbon treatment in aggressive process conditions.

MODEL NUMBERS
Manufacturer: CHEMAG™
Product Type: Granular Carbon Treatment System with Polishing Filter
Applications: Organic removal and polishing in chemical processing, surface finishing, wastewater treatment, plating bath reconditioning, and other aggressive process streams requiring carbon treatment without metal contact.
Key Benefits:
Rechargeable granular carbon canister with integral absolute-rated pleated polishing element prevents carbon bypass.
Solid, fusion-welded polypropylene construction resists corrosion; no glass fillers, pigments, stabilizers, PVC glue, or bead welding.
Seal-less mag-drive pump integration ensures leak-free operation.
Simplified maintenance vs. horizontal disc systems: fewer change-outs, no relining, reduced labor.
Absolute Beta 5000 ratings from 0.5 to 10 microns @ 99.98% efficiency prevent carbon particles passing downstream.
“Zero Carbon Discharge”: labyrinth design maximizes exposure, minimal replacement parts.
Scalable capacities up to 6,000 GPH; granular carbon capacity up to 4.0 cubic feet per vessel.
