Granular Activated Carbon – Most Effective against PFAS
Multiple studies conducted by Calgon Carbon and independent laboratories show reagglomerated bituminous coal-based granular activated carbon, or GAC, provides the best and most cost-effective performance characteristics, which can lower the total cost of PFAS treatment by two to three times.
FILTRASORB® GAC, produced from bituminous coal, has demonstrated superior PFAS-removal capabilities compared to other carbons. Activated carbon is effective at removing many types of PFAS, including C4, C6, and especially the well-studied C8 compounds, such as PFOA and PFOS. Although the choice of PFAS treatment technology depends on many factors, our FILTRASORB® 400 GAC has proven to be an effective and reliable option for the removal of both short- and long-chain PFAS.
We offer a full range of GAC adsorption equipment and activated carbon products to treat PFAS to non-detectable levels (>99.99%). This simple and effective solution requires little operator involvement.
