CatCarb & CatalyX - CATCARB

Catalytic activated carbon for chloramine and hydrogen sulfide control

Black Opal Carbons provides surface-modified coconut shell catalytic activated carbon for chloramine reduction, hydrogen sulfide decomposition, taste and odor reduction, and specialty water-treatment applications.

Manufacturing focus

CATCARB for difficult water-treatment contaminants

Black Opal CATCARB is surface modified, with particle size and pore structure tuned for adsorption while maintaining the hardness, surface area, and attrition resistance associated with high-quality coconut shell carbon. It is engineered for water-treatment applications requiring rapid chloramine and H2S decomposition.

Industrial requirements

Built around industrial requirements and specification control

Black Opal supports industrial requirements that depend on consistent lots, clear specifications, practical packing, export documentation, and dependable shipment planning.

Why catalytic grades matter

Standard activated carbon filters sized for chlorine removal have limited capacity for chloramine reduction at normal flow rates, which is where catalytic grades become important.

How CATCARB works

Surface modification enhances the media's natural ability to chemically change difficult contaminants while the coconut shell carbon structure supports adsorption performance.

Water-treatment use

CATCARB is built for chloramine-heavy drinking-water programs and is also suited for hydrogen sulfide decomposition, taste and odor reduction, and specialty water treatment.

Grade selection

Technical details needed for grade selection

Target contaminant or duty: chloramine, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen peroxide, THMs, TCE, PCE, detergents, pesticides, phenols, taste and odor, or specialty water treatment.

Operating data: water chemistry, flow rate, contact time, system design, and required treatment objective.

System context: existing media, filtration design, equipment details, packing, documentation, and destination-market requirements where applicable.
