Our Products
Powdered & Granular Activated Carbon
Ideally suited for treatment of potable water
CARBPURE PRODUCT SERIES
CarbPure’s portfolio of powdered activated carbons (PAC) and granular activated carbons (GAC) are entirely made from virgin materials and carefully activated to create properties specifically designed for the enhanced treatment of water in the potable water industry.
Product performance is geared towards the improvement of aesthetic quality (capture of taste and odor compounds such as MIB and geosmin), mitigation of organic carbons (such as disinfection byproduct precursors), herbicides (atrazine), and other emerging contaminants (such as hazardous algal toxins and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).
All CarbPure drinking products meet the current ANSI/AWWA B600/604 standards and are certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61

POWDERED ACTIVATED CARBON
CarbPure’s portfolio of powdered activated carbon (PAC) products are entirely made from virgin materials, are domestically manufactured, and carefully activated to create properties specifically designed for the enhanced treatment of water in the potable water industry.
The physical characteristics of CarbPure PAC products have been optimized to obtain a high degree of dispersion and suspension for excellent contaminant contact making it effective in treating a wide range of water sources.
Gen 1 PACs
Meeting Conventional Industry Standards
Gen 1 Product Lineup:
L
L SV
Description:
NSF certified PAC products that meet industry standards like AWWA B600, Iodine Number, BET surface area, Molasses Number, and Phenol Value. These are CarbPure’s workhorse PAC products. This product series is successfully utilized by many of our customers to help them meet their water treatment objectives.
Packaging and Delivery:
All Gen 1 PAC products can be delivered in supersack bags or in dedicated pneumatic bulk trailers.
Gen 2 PACs
Optimized for Contaminant Removal Performance
Gen 2 Product Lineup:
|
|
Description:
These are engineered for challenging raw water sources that have consistently high concentrations of contaminants or experience excursions due to external factors such as seasonal change, lake turnover, or industrial byproducts.
Packaging and Delivery:
All Gen 2 PAC products can be delivered in supersack bags or in dedicated pneumatic bulk trailers.
PAC Product Benefits
- Specialized pore size and carbon surface characteristics for effective contaminant capture
- Enhanced performance to minimize PAC usage and lower operating cost
- Suitable for wet and dry carbon delivery systems
- Optimized particle size to provide good suspension in water being treated
GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is an industry standard in water treatment facilities for contaminant capture. CarbPure provides GAC products that are specifically engineered for purification, all of which are domestically sourced and manufactured and meet regulatory certifications and standards.
The raw material goes through a multi-staged washing process to significantly reduce the level of impurities and ash from the feedstock. The material is reagglomerated and shaped into a uniform structure before it is carefully steam-activated to produce a granular product with effective adsorption of a broad range of target contaminants. CarbPure GACs are designed to remove dissolved organic and inorganic contaminants from surface and groundwater, wastewater, and various industrial process streams.
The physical characteristics of CarbPure GACs have been optimized to obtain a high degree of purity, uniformity, hardness to withstand material handling and backwashing, and product performance.
