Activated Carbon

Activated carbon is one of the established methods used in the fourth treatment stage. Depending on the requirements, either powdered activated carbon or granular activated carbon is used.

Both types enable the reliable removal of organic micropollutants and can be adapted to different plant designs.

Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)

  • Low capital costs

  • Flexible application

  • Compact design

  • Can be used temporarily


Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)

  • Can be reactivated

  • Compensates for concentration fluctuations

  • Easy to handle

  • Can be used as a safety stage
