Activated Carbon Filtration is a well-established technology that works through absorption of organic and industrial compounds to remove harmful contaminants in industrial and municipal waste waters, landfill leachate and contaminated groundwater. Activated carbon is a highly porous material with a very large surface area. Chemical pollutants are attracted to and held by the activated carbon’s surface.
“There are different carbons that will be used depending on what needs to be removed. Find a company that uses different types of carbon.”
