Water Treatment
Water treatment is a process to reduce or remove the undesirable characteristics of water, so it is fit for its purpose of use. Activated carbon has proven effectiveness in water treatment to adsorb organic contaminants to meet stringent water quality requirements and legislations. NORIT® offers a wide range of activated carbon grades in water treatment applications along with strong technical support and reactivation services.
Our comprehensive range of NORIT® granular and powdered activated carbons effectively remove:Â
- Disinfection by-products (DBP), e.g. trihalomethanes (THM), bromate
- Natural organic matter (NOM) that causes taste and odor, e.g. geosmin, 2-MIB
- Persistent organic pollutants (POP), e.g. PCBs, dioxins, pesticides
- Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), e.g. PFOA, PFOS
- Micropollutants, e.g. endocrine-disrupting compounds
- Chlorine and chloramine
- Hydrogen peroxide and ozone
- Organic contaminants, from the water source or disinfection by-products
- Organic impurities (COD)
- AOX (Adsorbable Organic Halides)
- Micropollutants, e.g. pharmaceutical and personal care residues, pesticides, endocrine disrupting compounds
- Aromatic compounds, e.g. BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene), phenol
- Colors
- Odors
To optimize purification performance and product recovery, you can choose from a range of NORIT product grades offering a variety of adsorptive properties and pore structures.
