Penguin carbon cartridges are a one-step carbon and filtration treatment. These
cartridges eliminate the problems associated with loose carbon treatment and the need for
a separate filtration system. The standard cartridges measure 2 ¾" OD with lengths
varying from 4" to 40" with flow rates up to 2 1/2gpm. These cartridges are
designed to be used in either single or multi-tube vessels |
Penguin carbon cartridges are available in 4 different styles: Style GC is an outer
wound cartridge that utilized a special high grade activated granular carbon with a very
low sulfur content. Style CP is also an outer wound cartridge which features layers of
paper impregnated with activated powdered carbon. Style C is a porous polyethylene shell
containing high grade activated granular carbon and Style M features an outer layer of
polyolefin webbing with an impregnated carbon powder interior.

Style GCThis outer wound carbon
cartridge removes undesirable tasted, odors, sediment, discoloration and chemicals from
water, hydrocarbon gases and other industrial fluids. It also provides organic removal
from plating, acid and alkaline solutions. This economical carbon cartridge is actually
three filters in one. It first provides filtration through an outer winding, then through
a layer of activated granular carbon and finally through a 5 micron polishing inner
winding. Choices of core materials and wound materials make Penguins Style GC
cartridges a versatile and economical choice for all carbon filtration needs. |
Used for:
Potable Water, Food and Beverages
Removal of Free Chlorine
Removal of Foul Tastes, Odors, Colors
Removal of Trace Dissolved Organics
Sediment Removal
Purification of Plating and Photo
Processing Solutions
Waste Water Treatment
Process Water Recycling

Style CPThis outer wound carbon
cartridge features layers of paper impregnated with activated powdered carbon with a very
low sulfur content. It has the same characteristics as the style GC which also provides
three filters in one. The outer winding acts as a pre-filter, the carbon impregnated paper
removes the organic contaminants as well as undesirable tastes, odors, sediment, and
discoloration and finally, a polishing 5 micron inner winding. There is a choice of
polypropylene, FDA polypropylene or bleached cotton for the wound material and the core
material can be either polypropylene or stainless steel. |
Used for:
- Potable Water, Food and Beverages
- Removal of Free Chlorine
- Removal of Trace Dissolved Organics
- Sediment Removal
- Photo Processing Solutions
- Graphic Arts
- Plating Solution Clarification

Style C - for recirculation applicationsThe porous shell carbon cartridge has been designed primarily
for use in removing organics and particulate contaminates from plating, acid, alkaline and
hydrocarbon solutions. The prefiltering outer shell is a strong and non-corroding
polyethylene with ethylene-propylene end caps. There are 9 oz. of granular carbon per
10" length providing an extended life of up to 50% over other cartridges. The liquid
flows from the outside of the cartridge through the carbon granules removing organics and
finally through a 3 micron inner would layer of polypropylene media for a polishing depth
filtration.
For gases, this carbon cartridge can be used in
removing organics such as oil mist, water vapor and fine dust and scale particles. The
polyethylene outer wrap possesses excellent filtering/coalescing properties. Most of the
oil/water contaminant will be trapped and collected in the shell. The activated carbon is
very effective for absorption of very finely dispersed oil, smoke, odors, aqueous mist
that might penetrate the outer wrap. The inner wound layers then provide an excellent air
polishing media. |

Used for:
- Removal of Free Chlorine
- Removal of Foul Tastes, Odors, Colors
- Volatile Organic Chemical Removal (VOCS)
- Sediment Removal
- Purification of Plating and Photo Processing Solutions
- Waste Water Treatment
- Process Water Recycling
|
Style M - for single pass treatmentThis
impregnated carbon cartridge is constructed with an outer layer of polyolefin and
synthetic fibers which removes solid particles and protects the inner carbon powder layer
from premature clogging. The sulfur-free carbon powders form a fixed bed that provides
increased carbon treatment capacity. The polypropylene core is surrounded by fine
microfibers that again filter the solution and assure no carbon bleed-off. Economical
cartridges are available when cellulose-free cartridges are not required. |

- Removal of Free chlorine
- Removal of Foul Tastes, Odors, Colors
- Sediment Removal
- Purification of Plating and Photo Processing Solutions

Carbon Cartridge Selection and Sizing |
- Several Factors affecting life and efficiency are:
- Particulate load in fluid
- Type and amount of contaminant to be dissolved
- Flow rate, temperature, and pH of fluid
- Single pass or recirculation system
- Contact time with wash. Steady or intermittent use.
- Activated carbon is used to purify, deodorize and
upgrade quality of liquids.
- Early in the system it removes contaminants or it is
used as a final step to improve product quality. Activated carbon prefers chemical with
low solubility, low polarity and a low degree of ionization.
- Single pass applications should employ molded
activated powder, impregnated carbon or paper impregnated activated powder carbon
cartridges.
- Recirculating systems should employ granular carbon
cartridges.
- Series filtration utilizing a string wound particulate
filter upstream of the carbon cartridge will increase the carbon cartridge life immensely.
- Sizing based on contact time. Longer contact time
results in higher absorption.
- Higher than recommended flow rates can be employed,
but removal efficiency may be sacrificed. The lower the GPM flow rates, the greater the
efficiency of the carbon cartridge. We recommend a maximum of 2 ½ GPM per 10"
cartridge length.
