The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 brought methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) into our gas tanks to help reduce smog in our air. As a result of spills and refilling at pumping stations and leaky underground storage tanks (LUST's), an increase in MTBE contamination of surface water sources and groundwater has been noted. MTBE is considered a potential carcinogen and has been regulated by the EPA for clean-up of contaminated water. MTBE removal from drinking water poses a difficult challenge, but Calgon Carbon has developed Filtrasorb® 600 as a revolutionary activated carbon product optimized for removal of contaminants such as MTBE. Aditionally, Calgon Carbon can provide UV equipment for the oxidative destruction of MTBE.
