AquaCarb® 820 Coal Based Granular Activated Carbon

AquaCarb® 820 is a 8 x 20 mesh, high activity granular activated carbon manufactured from selected grades of bituminous coal. This carbon is utilized in upgrading existing anthracite coal and sand filtration systems.

Coal-based granular activated carbon

Cost effective Westates® activated carbons have been demonstrated to provide superior performance in an extensive array of liquid phase treatment applications. AquaCarb 820® has demonstrated to be an excellent media for the adsorption of dissolved organics, taste and odor compounds. Additional applications include biological activated carbon (BAC) water treatment. This carbon media has demonstrated an ability to enhance biodegradation of organic.

Applications for AquaCarb® 820 activated carbon include:
- Dechlorination/chloramine reduction
- Removal of organic contaminants
- Taste and odor reduction
- Disinfection by-product (DBP) removal
- Drinking water treatment
- Biological activated carbon (BAC) support

AquaCarb® activated carbons are extensively quality checked at our State of California certified environmental and carbon testing laboratory located in Los Angeles, CA. Siemens’ laboratory is fully equipped to provide complete quality control analyses using ASTM standard test methods in order to assure the consistent quality of all Westates® carbons.
