Drinking Water Treatment (municipal):
We
supply specialist grades of both powdered and granular activated carbon
for drinking water in Australia and New Zealand.
Depending on which type of water treatment plant design is considered, either powdered activated carbon or granular activated carbon could be used:
Need Guidance?
We have an extensive range of information sheets to provide guidance on common issues relating to activated carbon selection and usage in drinking water applications.
PAC - Powdered Activated Carbon
The powdered activated carbon is dosed into the water in small amounts (10 to 50 mg/litre) and removed downstream with the sludge.
- For water treatment plants with a 10 seconds or more residence time we recommend using our Acticarb PS1000.
- For water treatment plants with less than 10 seconds residence time we recommend using our Acticarb PS1300.
GAC - Granular Activated Carbon
The granular activated carbon is used as a filter in a vessel through which the water is pumped. The GAC is regularly backwashed and does not need to be replaced until it is exhausted which may take several years.
- For water treatment plants using GAC we recommend using our Acticarb BAC GA1000N, which is a prewashed GAC, acid treated and neutralised, with no floaters or pH effect. Because of the pretreatment it does not need much prewashing in the plant and cuts commissioning time down to a few hours instead of many days.
