High Performance Carbon Block and Specialty Solutions

Carbon

Paragon Water Systems uses only the finest activated coconut-based carbon for purer water filtration. Unlike bituminous-based coal solutions, activated coconut carbon block filters do not contain high levels of contaminates and dust fines, which can leach into water.

Cleaner Carbon. Smarter Filtration.

In addition, coconut-based carbon contains a lower inorganic ash content and more micropores for increased surface area and porosity. This significantly increases the capacity of your carbon block filter to absorb small molecules such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Activated coconut-based carbon is a green product for today’s environmentally conscious companies.

We manufacture the highest-quality certified blocks.

Paragon Water Systems is a global leader in carbon block manufacturing and can customize carbon block water filters to meet your needs and the ever-changing needs of the world.

Specialty Media and Membrane Technologies

Resin Media

Our specialty resin media technology enables targeted filtration solutions tailored to specific contaminant challenges. These advanced media types can be used on their own or blended with carbon to enhance performance, offering versatile options for removing a wide range of impurities across residential, commercial and industrial applications.

	Various media
	Blended with carbon or can be used alone
	Variety of contaminants can be addressed

“Charged” Non-Woven Media

Through the integration of innovative media with expert pleating, manufacturing, and inspection processes, our charged non-woven media provides a superior solution for the reduction of bacteria, viruses, cysts, colloids, some heavy metals, VOC’s, and chlorine. This design enables high-performance filtration with minimal pressure drop and significantly greater flow rates than conventional mechanical filters.

Nanoalumina active layer sandwiched between two support layers of spunbonded polyester

Active layer can contain powdered activated carbon (PAC) and antimicrobial protection (silver)

Generates natural, electropositive charge field which covers the entire depth and void volume of the media.

Comparison of Various Media Types vs Charged Non-Woven Media

Typical 30 Micron Media

	Large pore diameter
	Low pressure drop

Typical 1 Micron Media

	Very small pore diameter
	High pressure drop

Charged Non-Woven Media

	Small pore diameter
	With positive charge =1µ
	Low pressure drop
	<1 NTU turbidity
	Higher DHC

Hollow Fiber / Ultra-Filtration Membrane

Hollow Fiber Ultra-filtration (UF) uses a bundle of tube-like membranes to filter water and other fluids by size exclusion. The porous, semi-permeable walls of the hollow fibers reduce suspended solids, bacteria, and other microorganisms while allowing clean water to (permeate) to pass through. This technology is widely used in industrial, municipal, and residential water treatment, as well as in the biopharmaceutical industry.

	Also known as Hollow Fiber Membrane
	Used in POU and POE systems
	Filters down to 0.02 microns or less Used to reduce bacteria and other microorganisms
	Needs pre-treatment to reduce sediment and particulates
	Generally used with carbon filtration
	Excellent for biological removal

Reverse Osmosis Membrane Technology

Reverse Osmosis is considered the one of the most effective and comprehensive methods in water filtration, utilizing thin film composite membranes to separate particles down to 1/10,000 of a micron (0.0001µ).
