The activated carbon is produced for use in ultra-pure water treatment systems requiring low conductivity and exceptionally high purity. This activated carbon is also specifically designed for the removal of heavy hydrocarbons from recovered condensate. The acid washing process removes soluble silica from the matrix of the activated carbon to prevent leaching into the condensate.
Some of the benefits of Acid Wash carbon include Dechlorination of water, better taste, removal of bad odors, removal of color from water, removal of organic substances, etc. Acid wash carbon has extensive internal structure, neutral surface, maximum hardness, extended operational life, high volume activity, and rapid pH stabilization.
Acid wash carbon is used in various applications such as Condensate de-oiling, semiconductor process water, dialysis treatment, point of entry treatment units, and protection of reverse osmosis membranes from chlorine and organic fouling.
Activated carbon is used in various industries for air purification, groundwater remediation, spill clean up and drinking water filtration. Governments across the globe are offering subsidies for water as well as air purification. These grants coupled with rapid industrialization particularly in regions such as Asia Pacific is forecasted to benefit the overall global market growth.
Activated carbon used in liquid phase accounted for 52% of the overall market. The product aids in the removal of VOCs and chlorine from drinking water. They also assist in the removal of dissolved radon, lead, and odor-causing compounds.
Activated carbon, due to its effectiveness in removing impurities, is widely used in water and wastewater treatment. Governments across the globe are investing heavily in water treatment plants to provide their citizens, proper access to clean water. China has invested over USD 4.5 billion in improving the clean water supply.
