Applications
Activated Carbon

Adsorption of Pollutants: Activated carbon is extensively used to adsorb organic pollutants, heavy metals, and odors in wastewater. Its porous structure allows for the effective removal of contaminants, improving overall water quality.

Biological Treatment Enhancement: It can support biological treatment processes by providing a surface for microbial attachment, enhancing the breakdown of organic materials.

Sludge Deodorization: Activated carbon is also effective in controlling odors in sludge by adsorbing volatile compounds, making the treatment process more pleasant and reducing air pollution.

Diatomaceous Earth

Filtration Media: Diatomaceous earth is utilized as a filtration aid in various wastewater treatment processes, helping to trap suspended solids and improve clarity.

Precoat for Filter Presses: It serves as a precoat for filter presses, optimizing the filtration process by creating a porous layer that captures fine particles and contaminants.

Absorbent in Sludge Management: Diatomaceous earth can be added to sludge to improve its handling properties and facilitate the removal of excess moisture.
