LFX-CACT™ Carbon Block Filter Cartridges

• Media and Construction: Carbon Block – compressed activated carbon with polypropylene prefilter layer, polypropylene core and end caps, and polyethylene outer netting for fines control and combined particulate plus adsorptive performance. Base carbon grades include DLPAC (coconut-shell) and DLCTO (coal-based). GAC – high-activity granular activated carbon packed in a polypropylene core/shell with polypropylene retainers and polyethylene outer netting for radial-flow adsorption.
• Nominal Retention Ratings: Carbon Block ~5 µm standard, with 1–10 µm variants available. GAC cartridges are adsorption-focused with nominal particulate retention ≥20 µm.
• Nominal Lengths: 9.75 inch, 10 inch, 20 inch and 30 inch (248–762 mm). Selected carbon block formats available in 40 inch (1,016 mm) depending on housing compatibility.
• Outside / Inside Diameter: Standard 2.5 inch (≈63 mm) OD; 4.5 inch (≈114 mm) “Big Blue” OD for high-capacity formats. ID varies by DOE vs SOE configuration.
• End Styles / Sealing Options: DOE (double open end) standard. SOE options: 222 flat, 222 fin, 226 flat and 226 fin. Elastomers: NBR (Buna-N), EPDM, Silicone, FKM (Viton®).
• Flow Direction: Carbon Block – outside-to-inside. GAC – radial-flow through packed carbon bed.
• Operating Temperature Limits (Water Service): Continuous up to 52 °C; short-term excursions to ~60 °C depending on elastomer and housing limits.

• Municipal and Industrial Water Treatment: Dechlorination of feedwater prior to RO, ion exchange or other downstream treatment processes.
• Food and Beverage Production: Colour, taste and odour control in brewing, soft drinks, bottled water and spirits.
• Chemical and Coatings Industry: Removal of trace organics and chlorine from process water used in formulations, mixing and cleaning.
• Cosmetics and Personal Care: Polishing of water used in lotions, emulsions, fragrances and rinse-off products.
• Electronics and Pharmaceuticals (Pretreatment): Pre-RO and pre-membrane dechlorination to protect membranes and downstream purification systems; not intended for final UPW or WFI loops.
• General Industrial Utilities: Polishing of rinse waters, plating baths and wash systems to maintain consistent water quality.
