Siemens Water Technologies provides activated carbon media to municipal, industrial and commercial customers alike.  We offer high quality virgin-carbons for liquid and vapor phase applications.  Some of the applications we specialize in include:

Liquid Phase:

- Removal of trace organic contaminants
- Pesticide removal
- MTBE removal
- Disinfection by-product (DBP) removal
- Drinking water treatment
- Industrial process water treatment
- High purity water applications
- Home water filtration systems

Vapor Phase:

- Chemical process applications
- VOC control from air strippers, soil vapor extraction and air sparge systems
- Control of tank vent emissions
- HVAC
- Odor control
- Solvent recovery of low boiling point solvents

Our 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.

We also feature a line of reactivated carbons and specialty carbons.  Reactivated carbons provide an economical, environmentally-friendly option for activated carbon users.

Coconut Shell-Based Carbons: An Economical Alternative to Coal-Based Carbons

In recent years, several market forces have impacted the price of activated carbon produced from anthracite and bituminous coals.  Activated carbons produced from coconut shell provide an alternate source of supply for many liquid and vapor phase applications where coal-based carbons have traditionally been used.Learn more.
