Application Detail

Water Treatment

Granular, powder, impregnated, and catalytic grades for drinking water, municipal systems, and wastewater purification.

Application overview

Black Opal supplies activated carbon for drinking water, industrial process water, municipal systems, groundwater remediation, and wastewater polishing.

Activated carbon is an efficient and cost-effective option for industrial and municipal wastewater plus contaminated ground and groundwater.

Coconut shell carbon supports chlorine reduction and adsorption of VOCs, pesticides, solvents, THMs, and other organics.

The water-treatment range includes GAC, PAC, impregnated, acid/water-washed, and specialty catalytic grades.

POU water filters

Water filters, cartridges, and carbon blocks are among the most widely used water-filtration technologies. Black Opal emphasizes balanced adsorption and pore structure, low ash, high strength, and consistent particle-size distribution.

Silver-impregnated and catalytic options for bacteriostatic and chloramine duties

Municipal and industrial water

Municipal and industrial systems use activated carbon for taste, odor, and color removal, plus adsorption of VOCs, pesticides, disinfectant by-products, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and inhibitory compounds.

Wastewater treatment

Granular carbon supports fixed-bed removal of dissolved non-biodegradable organics, while powder carbon supports sludge-contact treatment programs to improve stability and settling.
