Throughout the world there is a growing awareness of the need to protect rivers, streams, and other groundwater sources, from contamination by entrained chemicals in process effluent.
Here again, activated carbon plays a major role in cleaning up process effluents prior to their discharge into drains or rivers.
Activated carbon is also the most predominantly used media for final treatment of potable water. Initial treatment is carried out by chemical sterilisation to remove bacteria and neutralise the pH of the water. Activated carbon is then used to remove unwanted odour, taste, and cloudiness or discoloration.
Product Description IKASORB W
Ikasorb W series are high activity, Activated Carbons that have been specially developed for liquid phase applications including the filtration of potable water and wastewater or process effluent.
Because they are manufactured from only high quality coconut shell charcoal, these carbons, whist prossessing an exceptionally highly developed internal pore structure to maximise their effectiveness in the adsorption of organic contaminants, also show a very high degree of durability and resistance to abrasion and the associated breakdown.
