What does the Molasses Number mean?
The Molasses number was developed by Pittsburgh Carbon (now Calgon Carbon) to measure the sugar decolorizing capability of carbon. This number is important in the wastewater and winemaking industries where removing color is a primary objective. In the ornamental fish and aquaculture industry there is a more limited concern with removing color and the Super Activated Carbon is highly suited to removing typical dyes (Methylene Blue, Malachite Green) and organic yellowing from water.
