FAQ

For pool water treatment we recommend the Sorbotech® LGCO series granulated activated coconut carbon.
A cheaper and equally popular alternative solution is the Sorbotech® LG bituminous carbon.

Sorbotech® LG bituminous carbons in standard 8x30 mesh granulation (0.6-2.36 mm) are the most frequent choice for water treatment in supply systems. In some cases, also Sorbotech® LGCO coconut carbons are also applied.

In alternative water treatment technology – with the use of powdered carbon, Sorbotech® LPW series charcoal can be applied.

For water treatment in the food industry we suggest using clean and low ash Sorbotech® LGCO series coconut carbon.

Sorbotech® LG bituminous carbons and LPW series powdered carbons can also be applied in this industry.

 

The Sorbotech® FP series powdered carbons removing dioxins, furans (PCDD/F) and heavy metals are recommended for the exhaust gas purification process.

In technologies based on granulated carbon, Sorbotech® FGB and FGBS series activated carbons can be applied.

For hydrocarbon removal applications we recommend the Sorbotech® GERS series impregnated activated carbons, while for removal of siloxanes, non-impregnated extruded Sorbotech® GE series carbons will be the optimum solution.

Customers interested in biogas purification carbons should contact us directly to select the most suitable product.

 

For VOCs removal we recommend the Sorbotech® GE series extruded carbons and Sorbotech® GG series granulated carbons.

Coconut-based granulated carbons from the Sorbotech® GGCO series as well as Sorbotech® GE extruded carbons and Sorbotech® GG granulated carbons can be applied.

Used activated carbon must be disposed of or recycled.

Only companies with appropriate licences can deal with collection, transportation and disposal of this type of waste.

Activated carbon is hazardous waste when it is indicated by its code, directly related with its application.

The group of chemical compounds used in sewage treatment (sewage treatment plants, pumping stations, etc.) responsible for odorous air pollution are sulfur compounds (hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans). In this case, an effective method is the use of special impregnated activated carbon from the Sorbotech®GERS family. Adsorption on a carbon bed is based on the principle of chemisorption.
