Water treatment
Water is a precious natural resource and is vital to our lives. People require clean water to drink as a basic need, and many industries use highly purified water in their production processes. Water treatment is a process to reduce or remove the undesirable characteristics of water, so it is fit for its purpose of use. Activated carbon has proven effectiveness in water treatment to adsorb organic contaminants to meet stringent water quality requirements and legislations. NORIT® offers a wide range of activated carbon grades in water treatment applications along with strong technical support and reactivation services.
Potable water
is purified to remove harmful organic contaminants and improve its taste and odor.
Steam condensate
is purified to be reused in high pressure steam boilers in refineries and power plants.
Wastewater
is treated to meet regulations for safe discharge into the environment, or for reuse.

Water Treatment Services PFAS
When compared to coconut-based carbons in surface water and groundwater, studies found that HYDRODARCO 4000 and NORIT GAC 400 activated carbons demonstrated superior performance in the removal of PFAS molecules.
Dechlorination With Activated Carbon
Granular activated carbon (GAC) is the most effective and reliable technology for dechlorination. These carbons have a combination of high external particle surfaces and a large number of macropores for rapid dechlorination.
Micropollutant Reduction
Micropollutants are present in many common products that pass through the body into wastewater, eventually polluting the aquatic environment. GAC filtration plays an important role in removing these.
