Water Remediation

Groundwater may be contaminated through historical industrial land use or through more recent accidental spillage or leaks.

Calgon Carbon has been providing water remediation and treating perfluorinated compounds (PFOA, PFC, PFOs) for 15 years. We are the industry experts in treating these and other emerging contaminants from water sources.

Additionally, we offer activated carbon reactivation. This means we will take the activated carbon back from you and recycle it at our facilities – saving you money, time and the risk associated with removing these hazardous contaminants.

These organic chemicals can originate from a variety of sources, such as industrial operations, surface impoundments (lagoons), landfills, underground storage tanks, etc.

Water Remediation Technologies/Solutions:

Calgon Carbon offers a comprehensive array of solutions for environmental and remediation water treatment applications to remove contaminants such as organic compounds, perfluorinated compounds, hydrogen sulfide, methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), trihalomethane (THM) and perchlorate.

Calgon Carbon can provide the following treatment options for water remediation.
