Product Overview

PSD-A0 S represents our flagship coconut shell activated carbon series, engineered specifically for applications where purity is non-negotiable. Sourced from select Southeast Asian coconut shells and refined through a proprietary steam activation and acid-washing process, this granular carbon delivers consistent performance in the most demanding environments.

Unlike standard water treatment carbons, PSD-A0 S undergoes an extended activation cycle that develops an optimized pore structure—balancing micro, meso, and macro pores for versatile contaminant removal. The "S" designation signals our premium select grade with tighter quality control and lower extractable impurities.

Key Application Areas

  • Semiconductor ultra-pure water (UPW) systems — removes TOC, particles, and trace organics without introducing contaminants
  • Point-of-entry (POE) and point-of-use (POU) residential water treatment
  • Food and beverage processing — meets FDA and HALAL requirements for direct contact applications
  • Condensate polishing in power generation
  • Electroplating solution circulation systems

Key advantage

  • Raw Material Integrity: We trace every batch back to specific coconut plantations, ensuring consistent shell density and carbon content
  • Low Ash, Low Metals: Acid-washing reduces ash content to under 3% and minimizes leachable metals—critical for electronics-grade water
  • High Mechanical Strength: >95% hardness rating means less fines generation during backwashing, extending filter runs and reducing operational headaches
  • PH-Neutral Performance: The 5–8 pH range ensures minimal impact on treated water chemistry
  • Q
    What distinguishes PSD-A0 S from standard water treatment carbons?
    A

    PSD-A0 S undergoes an extended activation cycle developing an optimized pore structure balancing micro, meso, and macro pores for versatile contaminant removal. The ""S"" designation signals premium select grade with tighter quality control and lower extractable impurities. Sourced from select Southeast Asian coconut shells and refined through proprietary steam activation and acid-washing, it delivers consistent performance in demanding environments.

  • Q
    What is the typical service life of PSD-A0 S in municipal water treatment?
    A

    Under normal municipal water conditions, PSD-A0 S typically provides 12–24 months of service before reaching breakthrough. Actual service life depends on influent quality, flow rate, and target contaminant. PURESTAR offers technical support for system-specific estimates based on water analysis and treatment objectives.

  • Q
    What particle size options are available for PSD-A0 S?
    A

    PSD-A0 S is available in 8×20 Mesh (0.85–2.36mm), 12×30 Mesh (0.6–1.7mm), 18×30 Mesh (0.6–2.36mm), 20×40 Mesh (0.43–0.85mm), 30×60 Mesh (0.25–0.6mm), and 80–200 Mesh (0.075–0.18mm). Custom sizing is available upon request. The broad size range accommodates applications from deep-bed pressure vessels to rapid-flow gravity filters.
