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. 

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 analysis 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.

New! 
Siemens Water Technologies introduces AquaCarb® CX enhanced coconut shell-based carbons. The AquaCarb® CX series carbons combine the individual benefits of traditional coal-based and coconut-shell carbons in a single, high performance product.  AquaCarb® CX carbon provides the high micropore structure of coconut shell with the faster kinetics of bituminous coal based carbons.  The resulting product provides excellent trace VOC removal capacity and also provides effective treatment results in applications where bituminous coal-based carbons have historically been the only choice, most notably disinfection byproduct (DBP) or DBP precursor removal, or bulk organic and total organic carbon (TOC) removal in surface waters.
