Cabot Norit Activated Carbon Launches Product for Sweetener Applications
The increase in soft drink consumption in developing countries has raised the need for products that can purify liquid sugar while using fewer natural resources such as electricity and water. PURIT products are dustless powder multimedia that can be used in food purification applications including liquid sugar, starch-derived sweeteners, artificial sweeteners and other liquid processes that benefit from longer cycle times due to improved filtration. Other benefits include:
- Removal of turbidity, color, taste and odor in one easy step
- Dust-free product decreases maintenance costs
- Decreased pressure drop and extended cycle time lowers operating costs
- Fewer filter changeouts reduces labor and energy costs
- Increased throughput reduces cost per volume of sugar produced
“The PURIT product line represents the first multimedia activated carbon
product from Cabot. These products push the boundaries of what we have
come to expect from activated carbon multimedia, performing better than
competitive products and striking the balance between filterability and
decolorization that is so critical to performance,” said
Cabot Norit Activated Carbon is recognized as the world’s largest and most experienced producer of activated carbon, which is used to remove pollutants, contaminants and other impurities from water, air, food and beverages, pharmaceutical products and other liquids and gases in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
