Catalytic Carbon
CATCARB catalytic activated carbon for chloramine and hydrogen sulphide decomposition in water treatment.
Many water utilities across the U.S. are transitioning to chloramine for disinfection as an alternative to chlorine in response to stricter U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations on disinfection byproducts.
Why utilities are changing
Many water utilities across the U.S. are transitioning to chloramine for disinfection as an alternative to chlorine. This change is in response to stricter U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations on disinfection byproducts, which are created when chlorine reacts with organics in water.
Why catalytic carbon matters
Chloramine is more stable than chlorine and removing chloramine at the point of use is more difficult than removing chlorine. Standard granular activated carbon or carbon block products have limited capacity for chloramine reduction.
How CATCARB works
CATCARB is surface modified to enhance the carbon capability significantly for decomposing components like chloramine and hydrogen sulphide in a rapid pace. Besides, the particle size and pore structure have been specifically designed to provide the best adsorption properties.
