FibreOnyx media has allowed for speciality solutions such as the SPECTRUM SFBC-EL - focused on providing a sulphur free rinse in electroplating applications. A post-filtration layer prevents carbon fines from being released after the initial flush, guaranteeing a clean and uncontaminated plating bath, whilst bonded powder carbon media effectively eliminates organic chemicals and particulate matter. Designed with a 2.4” (66mm) diameter, the SFBC-EL is easy to retrofit to almost all standard cartridge housings used in the finishing industry.

Frequently asked questions

SFBC-EL is a carbon filtration cartridge from Spectrum's FibreOnyx family, built for demanding process applications like electroplating rinse water — targeted contaminant removal rather than general drinking water treatment.

Rinse water in electroplating processes can carry organic contaminants and process residues that affect rinse quality and downstream plating results — carbon adsorption is used to strip these out and maintain water quality through the rinse stages.

It uses Spectrum's FibreOnyx carbon fibre technology rather than standard extruded granular carbon, giving a pore structure and adsorption profile tuned for the specific organic contaminants found in electroplating process water, rather than general chlorine/taste/odour reduction.

This depends heavily on your process volume and contaminant load, so replacement is best scheduled based on your specific process monitoring rather than a generic interval — check with us for guidance based on your throughput.

While it's built with electroplating rinse water in mind, targeted carbon fibre filtration can suit other process applications with similar organic contaminant profiles — tell us your process and we can confirm whether SFBC-EL or another FibreOnyx variant is the better fit.
