Activated Carbon
Activated carbon is a porous material that removes organic compounds from liquids and gases by a process known as “adsorption.” In adsorption, organic molecules contained in a liquid or gas are attracted and bound to the surface of the pores of the activated carbon as the liquid or gas is passed through.
Calgon Carbon produces and sells a broad range of activated, impregnated or acid washed carbons in granular, powdered or pellet form. Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) particles are irregular in shape and generally used in fixed filter beds for continuous flow purification processes. Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) is carbon which has been pulverized into powder and often used in batch purification processes, in municipal water applications and for flue gas emissions control. Pelletized activated carbon has been extruded and each particle is cylindrical in shape. Pelletized carbon is typically used for gas phase applications because of the low pressure drop, high mechanical strength and low dust content of the product.

Ultraviolet Light Technologies
More than 20 years ago, Calgon Carbon introduced an advanced Ultraviolet (UV) light oxidation process to remediate contaminated groundwater. In 1998, we followed that up with the first radical breakthrough in the treatment of drinking water in decades. That's when our scientists invented a process that could be used to inactivate Cryptosporidium and other similar pathogens in surface water, rendering them harmless to humans. This inventive process placed Calgon Carbon on the leading edge of UV disinfection technology. We remain on the cutting edge today. With the Sentinel® line for drinking water, the
C³ Series™ for wastewater and the Rayox® line for groundwater and process water, Calgon Carbon continues to lead the marketplace with innovative UV technologies.
