Product Overview

PSD-A0 is a high-activity coconut shell granular activated carbon engineered for municipal, residential, and industrial water treatment where purity and certification matter. Manufactured from select coconut shell through controlled carbonization and high-temperature steam activation, it delivers an iodine adsorption value exceeding 1000 mg/g with a specific surface area above 1000 m²/g.

The granular structure is optimized for fixed-bed pressure vessels, offering low pressure drop and reliable hydraulic performance across variable flow rates. With NSF 61 certification, drinking water approval, and food production licensing, PSD-A0 is proven for direct-contact applications from whole-house POE systems to beverage ingredient water.

Key Application Areas

  • Point-of-Entry (POE) Water Treatment — Installed at the building entry to remove chlorine, chloramine, and organic precursors before they reach taps, showers, and appliances, protecting downstream RO membranes and softeners.
  • Ultra-Pure Water (UPW) Systems — Polishes deionized water loops in electronics and power generation by adsorbing trace TOC and particulate precursors that could compromise process yields.
  • Condensate Polishing — Treats steam condensate in thermal power plants, removing organic carryover and corrosion products to maintain boiler water chemistry and turbine efficiency.
  • Food & Beverage Water — Purifies process and ingredient water for breweries, bottling lines, and food manufacturing, meeting direct-contact safety standards without introducing leachable contaminants.

Key Advantages

  • Certified for Direct Contact: NSF 61, drinking water approval, and food production license eliminate regulatory guesswork for municipal, residential, and food industry procurement.
  • High Capacity, Low Ash: Iodine >1000 mg/g and ash <5% deliver rapid dechlorination and organic removal while minimizing backwash waste and downstream particulate loading.
  • Natural Coconut Shell Hardness: >95% strength resists attrition during hydraulic backwashing and pneumatic transfer, extending filter runs and reducing carbon makeup rates.
  • Broad Mesh Availability: From coarse 8×20 to fine 80–200 mesh, PSD-A0 adapts to high-flow POE vessels and precision UPW filters without custom manufacturing delays.

  • Q
    What is the difference between PSD-A0 and PSD-A0 S?
    A

    PSD-A0 is the standard steam-activated grade with pH 8–11 and ash <5%. PSD-A0 S undergoes additional acid washing, reducing ash to <3% and pH to 5–8, making it preferable for acid-sensitive applications like electroplating rinse water and POU systems.

  • Q
    Is PSD-A0 suitable for residential drinking water?
    A

    Yes. NSF 61 certification and food-grade compliance make it ideal for whole-house POE and commercial drinking water systems. It effectively removes chlorine taste and odor while adsorbing organic contaminants.

  • Q
    Can PSD-A0 be regenerated in place?
    A

    Thermal reactivation can restore >90% of original capacity. The hard granular structure withstands multiple regeneration cycles, making it cost-effective for large municipal and industrial installations.

  • Q
    How does coconut shell compare to coal-based carbon for water treatment?
    A

    Coconut shell carbon offers higher hardness, lower ash, and typically lower leachable metals than coal-based alternatives—critical for UPW and food-contact applications where consistency and purity are non-negotiable.
