A dual-function filter that combines activated carbon impregnated felt with polypropylene supports, the HOSPICARB FC is designed to remove organic compounds, chlorine, and unwanted odors also hydrocarbons from gases, while also serving as a particle filter. It is ideal for water purification, rinse processes, and industrial treatment systems where both adsorption and filtration are required.

The CB model uses a rigid carbon block made from coconut shell carbon and coal, offering higher surface area and longer service life than conventional GAC filters. Its robust structure prevents bypass, channeling, and the release of carbon fines, making it ideal for food & beverage, RO system pretreatment, and effluent purification.
- Unique Construction
- Key Features & Benefits
- Media Compatibility
- Applications
Both carbon filters are built with polypropylene housings and internal supports for improved mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability. HOSPICARB FC uses a flexible felt media embedded with activated carbon, suitable for dual-phase performance, while the CB version features a rigid carbon block that prevents channeling and media migration. The solid structure of both types ensures minimal pressure drop, consistent flow, and clean operation without carbon fines release. All filters should be flushed prior to use to ensure optimum performance.
- Dual Filtration Capability: Both filters remove particulates and adsorb unwanted contaminants in a single unit, reducing system complexity.
- Chlorine and VOC Control: Carbon media effectively eliminates residual chlorine, volatile organics, and unwanted tastes or odors.
- Tailored Media Structure: Each variant uses a different carbon matrix, felt or block, optimized for its respective application and flow dynamics.
- High Integrity Build: Polypropylene-supported media ensures consistent filtration without bypass, channeling, or shedding.
- Versatile Configuration Options: Available in standard lengths, with DOE or SOE ends for easy integration into existing setups.
- Safe and Compliant Design: Manufactured using FDA-approved materials and subject to strict internal QA procedures.
- Carbon Impregnated Felt: Used in FC models, this format enables flexible adsorption of contaminants while allowing good flow characteristics.
- Solid Carbon Block: The CB version features a compressed block structure made from coconut shell carbon and coal for greater surface area and depth.
- Lenticular Activated Carbon: Modular format used for specific applications, refer to lenticular page for details.
- Water Purification and Dechlorination: Removes chlorine, organic residues, and odor-causing compounds in water treatment setups.
- Gas Filtration and Odor Removal: Captures hydrocarbons and volatile contaminants in tank vent and air filtration systems.
- RO System Pre-treatment: Protects membranes by reducing chemical and organic load in feed water.
- Product Rinse Filtration: Used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical applications where water purity impacts final product quality.
- Effluent Polishing and Discharge: Improves the quality of industrial wastewater before disposal or recycling.
- Taste and Color Correction: Applied in beverage, sugar, and intermediate purification to enhance final product characteristics.
