Water Applications
PROCESS WATER TREATMENT
Process water, used as part of industrial processing, includes both potable water, such as that added to juice drinks and consumed, and water such as wash water that is discarded or recycled. Our activated carbon is available in various forms, sizes, and impregnations to best meet many different process water needs.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Waste water includes highly-contaminated water from industrial processing, agricultural chemical use and landfill leachate as well as residential runoff. Wastewater treatment plants must purify the water to acceptable limits before releasing it into lakes, rivers or oceans.
DRINKING WATER TREATMENT
Activated carbon adsorption is regarded as one of the best and most common treatment methods for removing impurities from drinking water both at municipal treatment works and in home filter systems.
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, odour or colour
- Organic materials from decaying plants and other naturally-occurring contaminants
- Disinfection by-products (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
