Schwenksville Borough Authority In Pennsylvania Turns To De Nora SORB 33A For Arsenic Removal

Exposure to arsenic can cause health effects including skin damage, circulatory and nervous system problems, and increased risk of cancer. Water treatment plants are well-versed in removing it. 

The Schwenksville Borough Authority (SBA) water treatment plant was looking for an economic solution and a product with a longer life expectancy. SBA turned to De Nora's SORB 33A media to replace its exhausted Bayoxide media. Since operation began, testing shows post-treatment levels of arsenic that are significantly and consistently below the EPA required MCL of 10 ug/L.
