WPH-M meets allapplicable AWWA standards per specification B-600 and is certifiedto ANSI/NSF Standard 61 for use in potable water treatment.ApplicationsWPH-M powdered activated carbon is ideally suited for the removal of taste and odor-causing compounds such as geosmin andmethylisoborneol (MIB), as well as herbicides and pesticides such as alachlor, atrazine and simazine, plus many other solution organiccompounds. They can also be used in the treatment of industrialwastewaters and a number of process applications to remove refractory organic chemicals.Features• Free flowing powdered activated carbon • High grindBenefits• Works well in wet or dry injection systems• Enables rapid dispersion in waterSpecifications WPH-MIodine Number. 500 mg/g (min)Moisture by Weight 8% (max)Screen Size by Weight, US Sieve SeriesThrough 100 mesh 99% (min)Through 200 mesh 95% (min)Through 325 mesh 90% (min)Design ConsiderationsPowdered activated carbon is generally mixed with raw water indosages ranging between 5 and 50 ppm. Longer mixing times resultin lower doses. Similarly, higher activity carbons usually require lowerdoses. For the most cost-effective treatment, PAC should be fed at apoint which allows the longest amount of contact time between thepowdered activated carbon and the raw water.Packaging1,000 lb (454 kg) Super Sack50 lb BagBulk TruckSafety MessageWet activated carbon preferentially removes oxygen from air. In closedor partially closed containers and vessels, oxygen depletion my reachhazardous levels. If workers are to enter a vessel containing carbon,appropriate sampling and work procedures for potentially low oxygen spaces should be followed, including all applicable Federal andState requirements.WPH-M®Powdered Activated CarbonMaking Water and Air Safer and Cleaner www.calgoncarbon.com
