Drinking water treatment: Activated carbon is widely used in drinking water treatment systems. Effectively removes chlorine, organic pollutants, pesticides, herbicides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It acts as an adsorbent that retains contaminants in its structure, ensuring clean and safe water for consumption.
Process water treatment: In industry, process water must be free from contaminants that could affect the quality of the final products. Activated carbon removes oils, chlorine, organic contaminants and color, ensuring the proper quality of water used in various production processes.
Removing chlorine compounds from swimming pool water: in swimming pools, activated carbon removes chlorine and chloramine compounds, which may cause skin and eye irritation and unpleasant odors. This makes swimming pool water more user-friendly.
Clarification, purification, decolorization of alcohol and improvement of the taste and smell of beverages: in the production of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, activated carbon improves clarity, removes undesirable tastes and odors that may result from the presence of undesirable chemical compounds or impurities. This makes the drinks taste better and be more enjoyable for consumers.
Decolorization of fats and sugar solutions: in food production, activated carbon is used to remove dyes from fats and sugar solutions, improving the aesthetics and quality of final food products.
Decolorization of glycerin and paraffin: activated carbon removes dyes and impurities from glycerin and paraffin, which is important in the production of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other products where purity and quality are crucial.
Condensate treatment: In steam systems, activated carbon removes contaminants from the condensate, which is important to ensure equipment efficiency and the quality of production processes.
Purification of municipal and industrial sewage: activated carbon effectively removes organic pollutants from sewage, improving the quality of discharged water and protecting the natural environment.
Applications in air and other gas purification:
Removal of sulfur compounds and siloxanes from biogas: activated carbon removes sulfur compounds from biogas, which is important for improving the quality of biogas and protecting equipment against corrosion, and additionally reduces siloxanes in biogas, preventing damage to engines and other equipment used for its processing.
Removal of organic compounds from industrial gases: activated carbon effectively eliminates volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial gases, which is crucial for health and environmental protection.
Filter inserts for painting booths and fumes from laser cutting, welding: activated carbon is used in paint booth filters to remove paint fumes and odors, ensuring clean air and better working conditions. However, in the metallurgical and plastics industries, activated carbon removes harmful fumes generated during laser cutting and welding.
Reduction of fumes from asphalt production: Activated carbon is used in the asphalt industry to remove harmful fumes that can be produced during the production and application of asphalt.
Gasoline Vapor Removal: In refineries, activated carbon effectively removes gasoline vapors from the air, preventing air pollution.
Removal of dioxins, furans and heavy metals (Hg) from exhaust gases: activated carbon reduces the concentration of dioxins, furans and heavy metals such as mercury in exhaust gases, protecting the natural environment and human health.
Removal of ammonia from the gas stream: activated carbon is used to remove ammonia from industrial gases. Ammonia can be toxic and harmful in high concentrations, and also causes odor nuisance.
Removal of catering odors: in the catering industry, activated carbon removes unpleasant odors arising during cooking and frying, improving work comfort and air quality in restaurants and kitchens.
Air purification in air handling units and smoking cabins: in ventilation systems, including activated carbon, it removes pollutants and odors, ensuring clean air in commercial and residential buildings. In smoking cabins, it also ensures effective removal of harmful substances such as nicotine and tar.
Odor removal in the food industry: activated carbon effectively reduces unpleasant odors arising during food production, which is important for maintaining product quality and work comfort.
Odor removal in sewage treatment plants and deodorization of landfill gases: activated carbon eliminates unpleasant odors from gases generated in landfills, and in sewage treatment plants activated carbon removes unpleasant odors, which improves the quality of life of residents and working conditions.
