CPM-7002-0707 www.calgoncarbon.comMaking Water and Air Safer and CleanerDescription WPH®-M is a virgin, powdered activated carbon (PAC) specifically designed to treat potable water. WPH®-M meets allapplicable AWWA standards per specification B-604-05, andis certified to ANSI/NSF Standard 61 for use in potablewater treatment.ApplicationsWPH®-M powdered activated carbon is ideally suited for removingtaste and odor-causing compounds such as geosmin andmethylisoborneol (MIB), as well as herbicides and pesticidessuch as alachlor, atrazine, and simazine, plus many othersoluble organic chemical compounds. It can also be used totreat industrial wastewaters and numerous process applicationsto remove refractory organic chemicals.Design ConsiderationsPowdered carbon is generally mixed with raw water in dosagesranging between 5 and 50 ppm. Longer mixing times result inlower doses. Similarly, higher activity carbons usually requirelower doses. For the most cost-effective treatment, PAC shouldbe fed at a point which allows the longest amount of contacttime between the powdered carbon and the raw water.Safety MessageWet activated carbon preferentially removes oxygen from air. In closed or partially closed containers and vessels, oxygendepletion may reach hazardous 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 and State requirements.SpecificationsIodine Number 500 mg/g (min)Moisture as packed by weight 8% (max)Screen Size by weight, U.S. Sieve SeriesThrough 100 mesh 99% (min)Through 200 mesh 95% (min)Through 325 mesh 90% (min)FeaturesFree flowing powdered carbonHigh grindBenefitsWorks well in wet or dry injection systems.Enables more rapid dispersion in water.
