For Dechlorination and Organics Removal

Activated Carbon is a specialized filter media used principally for dechlorination or removal or organic compounds and colour in water. It will also remove other contaminants at low levels. The benefits of carbon filtration are mainly the elimination of tastes and odors. It is sometimes used as a post polishing
process.

The length of the contact time of the raw water with the Activated Carbon is crucial to its removal capability which often means that large volumes of the media are needed  for effective water treatment.

Chlorine removal is a catalytic process in which the media does not become exhausted or blinded by the Chlorine. However the catalytic sites on the surface
of the Activated Carbon will eventually become blinded by other contaminants in the raw water so that the media will still need to be changed (typically every 1-3 years),
even when the primary use of the media is for  dechlorination.

The effectiveness of Activated Carbon at removing organic compounds such as pesticides and trihalomethanes varies according to the precise nature of the contaminants. Please contact us for more information
