Wet Activated Carbon Datasheet

Adsorption by wet activated carbon takes advantage of the large surface of activated carbon which, depending upon the type of carbon concerned, is between 400 and 1600 m²/g. As the contaminated water flows through the activated carbon bed, the contaminants attach to its surface, a process known as adsorption.

Used activated carbon is reactivated by the manufacturer in an officially approved plant and can be applied again. lt is only in exceptional cases, e.g., when highly contaminated by pesticides, that reactivation is impossible. ln any case, the contaminated carbon is disposed of in a proper and ecologically compatible way. ln addition, by recycling the activated carbon, treatment costs are kept low.
