Water Treatment Applications

Activated carbon is an efficient and cost-effective solution for removing a wide range of contaminants from industrial and municipal wastewater, contaminated ground and groundwater.

Activated carbon aids in the removal of:

• Compounds that cause unwanted taste, odor or color
• Organic materials from decaying plants and other naturally-occurring contaminants
• Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) linked to chlorine and alternative disinfectants
• Algal toxins and cyanotoxins, such as microcystin-LR, cylindrospermopsin and anatoxin-A
• Endocrine-disrupting compounds that can adversely affect hormonal systems
• Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) contamination
• PFOS/PFOA
• Pesticides
• Heavy metals

Activated carbon is used either in powdered form (suspension process) or granular form (fixed bed process), depending upon the specific application and process.

Different activated carbon for different Application:

• GRANULATED ACTIVATED CARBON dechlorinates water, adsorbs organic material and produces a chemical-reducing environment
• GRANULATED ACTIVATED CARBON impregnated with silver salts inhibits the growth of bacteria
• CATALYTIC ACTIVATED CARBON removes chloramines from drinking water
• PELLETIZED (OR EXTRUDED) ACTIVATED CARBON effectively dechlorinates and removes chemicals
• POWDERED ACTIVATED CARBON is used to eliminate trace synthetic chemicals and taste and odor causing chemicals, and for chemical spills or algal blooms
