Analyzing a GAC sample reveals if the media should be reactivated or disposed of. Therefore, it is critical that operators follow this definitive guide for pulling a representative sample.
-
A poor underdrain design can cause filtration inefficiencies and inconsistencies, including uneven pressure drops and dead zones where water flows slowly or not at all.
-
Bed conditioning and startup procedures are designed to optimize the performance of the carbon bed and maximize adsorption capacity to achieve treatment goals.

Follow these key steps to conduct a successful pilot study to help remain below their target contaminant limits and cost-effectively comply with regulations.
-
A first-hand account of how Calgon Carbon Corp. executed a last-minute clean jet fuel contaminated water around the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickman.
-
This introduction to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) will discuss what qualifies a compound as a VOC, how to detect them, and how to treat and remove these chemicals from the water system.
-
Water treatment plants (WTPs) need to lean less on the disinfection process strategies (i.e., chloramination) and instead focus on more comprehensive DBP solutions such as removing TOC. Here's why.
-
Whether a water treatment plant (WTP) is evaluating a new granular activated carbon (GAC) solution to deal with contamination problems such as PFAS, DBPs, and VOCs or looking to enhance existing GAC performance, it is important to assess treatment processes in the full context of source water quality. Here are some ideas to help decision-makers achieve the best outcomes at the lowest total lifecycle cost.
-
Here are some considerations that can help water treatment plant (WTP) supervisors, operators, and their consulting engineers achieve their PFAS removal goals more efficiently and cost effectively despite the added challenges.
-
NSF-certified systems have the same benefit as individually certified components but can often be produced more cost effectively.
-
This article will discuss two of the most common drinking water sources and how they affect treatment priorities and configurations.
-
In this episode of Water Talk, Angela Godwin sits down with Adam Redding from Calgon Carbon Corporation to talk about PFAS and more.
-
Read about a stack testing program at a full-scale GAC reactivation facility during the reactivation of a load of GAC known to contain adsorbed PFAS.
-
The U.S. EPA recently announced its proposal for what would be the first-ever national drinking water standards for PFAS. This news likely triggered several questions about what this means to the drinking water industry. Here, we will address some of the most important ones.
-
Learn how naturally occurring biological growth on carbon media can help enhance removal of total organic carbon (TOC) and thusly reduce the formation of DBPs.
-
In this segment from Virtual Water Expo, Dr. Adam Redding discusses a dual media (IX/GAC) approach for PFAS removal.
-
Water treatment plants (WTPs) that deciding between ion exchange (IX) or granular activated carbon (GAC) systems should weigh the operation and maintenance of each before implementing either technology.
