Water Treatment

checkmark

Wastewater treatment plants often deploy activated carbon to achieve a purification level that allows the treated water to be discharged into environmental water bodies.

checkmark

In municipal wastewater, activated carbon is highly effective to remove micropollutants.

checkmark

In industrial wastewater and landfill leachate, activated carbon enhances the reduction of global organic impurities measured as chemical oxygen demand (COD). It is also deployed to remove specific (poorly or non-biodegradable) organic contaminants, including again micropollutants.

Our comprehensive range of NORIT® granular and powdered activated carbons effectively remove:

  • Organic impurities (COD)
  • AOX (Adsorbable Organic Halides)
  • Micropollutants, e.g. pharmaceutical and personal care residues, pesticides, endocrine disrupting compounds
  • Aromatic compounds, e.g. BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene), phenol
  • Colors
  • Odors

We also provide:

  • Powdered activated carbon for activated sludge processes
  • Technical support to evaluate the treatability of wastewater by activated carbon and filter design
  • Rental filters for main treatment or pilot testing
  • Reactivation services for spent granular carbons

Wastewater

Activated carbon plays a key role in improving the quality of water systems by removing impurities from wastewater before it is discharged to water bodies, applied to land, or reused. It is highly effective at removing hydrophobic and/or high molecular weight organic contaminants from a wide range of wastewater.

Odor Control

DARCO H2S LP is a revolutionary non-impregnated activated carbon with a minimum hydrogen sulfide loading capacity. DARCO H2S LP is specifically developed for removing hydrogen sulfide from air streams and eliminating “sewage odors.”
