Dual Module Adsorption System Handles Emergency Response Situations

Calgon Carbon’s dual-module adsorption system was designed for the removal of dissolved organic contaminants from liquids using granular activated carbon (GAC). The prepiped, skid-mounted configuration handles on-site treatment where the need is periodic or where a permanent system would be uneconomical.

The system comes as two prepiped adsorbers on a skid. Installation, piping connections and start-up are supervised by Calgon Carbon personnel. The system is suitable for emergency-response situations and usually can be dispatched to a site within 24 to 48 hours. Start-up can begin within hours of the arrival of the unit at the site. When the carbon becomes exhausted, it can be reactivated and replaced with minimal downtime via Calgon Carbon’s closed-loop exchange service.
