How to choose a domestic filter material (sorbent, activated carbon) equivalent: practical tips
Many companies and private users face the situation: the filter material they are used to is no longer available, has ceased to satisfy or has become very expensive. What to do? The main thing is not to rush and to choose a domestic equivalent competently.
What to pay attention to when selecting a filter material:
1. Purpose and scope of application - water, air, chemical solutions, food industry.
2. Size and shape - compare the fractional composition of the old with the available analogues.
3. Sorption capacity - how effectively the material retains contaminants. For example, if you know the activity of the old material and it is, for example, 900-1000 units, then this corresponds to an activity of at least 60% in terms of iodine.
4. Ash content - this is also an important indicator and the lowest ash content among domestic analogues is activated carbon CarboClean (from 2% to 6%).
Today, domestic manufacturers offer a wide range of solutions, from activated carbon to special sorbents for the industrial, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
