VOC Removal From Drinking Water

Drinking water containing high levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) may be harmful to human health. At high levels of exposure, many VOCs can cause central nervous system depression (drowsiness, stupor).

Drinking Water Treatment VOC Removal

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that VOCs are present in one-fifth of the nation's water supplies. They can enter ground water from a variety of sources. Benzene, for example, may enter ground water from gasoline or oil spills on the ground surface or from leaking underground fuel tanks. Other examples of commonly detected VOCs are dichloromethane (methylene chloride), an industrial solvent; trichloroethylene, used in septic system cleaners; and tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene), used in the dry-cleaning industry. Detected in water supplies.

Delaware Community Solves VOC Contamination in Drinking Water Supply with Activated Carbon

In the Fall of 2005, water analysis for the Town of Millsboro, DE indicated that they were exceeding the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for the volatile organic compound, Trichloroethylene (TCE). TCE has been identified by the EPA as a carcinogen. Siemens Water Technologies supplied two treatment systems, each of which will treat more than 250 gpm of drinking water.  Each system consists of three carbon adsorber vessels that contain Westates Carbon(TM)-brand granular activated carbon.
