Case Study: Drinking Water Purification

Content Summary

Calgon Carbon Corporation delivered remarkable results in Frostburg, MD by conducting a pilot trial to compare the effectiveness of reagglomerated and direct activated granular activated carbon (GAC) for drinking water purification. The trial demonstrated that both GAC products exceeded anthracite in removing total organic carbon (TOC), UV254 absorbance, and halogenated disinfection byproducts. Notably, the reagglomerated GAC outperformed, treating double the water volume before TTHM saturation.

This study underscores Calgon Carbon’s commitment to providing superior water treatment solutions, ensuring safer and cleaner water for communities.
