Application Index

Water Treatment Sub-Applications

Municipal Drinking Water

Removes chlorine, THMs, and organic taste/odor compounds to deliver safe potable water at scale.

Industrial Wastewater

Polishes effluent to meet discharge norms — knocks out COD, phenols, dyes and solvents.

Pharmaceutical Grade Water

USP/EP compliant purification. Adsorbs endotoxins, chlorine and organic contaminants.

Food & Beverage

Decolorization, dechlorination and flavor refinement for soft drinks, sugar, edible oils and bottled water.

Residential RO & Home Filters

Pre and post-filtration cartridges for point-of-use systems and whole-house purifiers.

Swimming Pools & Spas

Removes chloramines, combined chlorine and eye-irritating byproducts without harsh chemicals.

Aquaculture & Aquariums

Adsorbs ammonia byproducts, dissolved organics and medications between treatment cycles.

Groundwater Remediation

Effective against MTBE, pesticides, PFAS precursors, and industrial VOC plumes.

Chemical Processing

Solvent recovery, catalyst carriers, and purification of process water streams.

Power Plant Feedwater

Protects boilers, ion exchange resin, and RO membranes from organic fouling and free chlorine.

Dechlorination

Catalytic reduction of free and combined chlorine — protects downstream membranes and biology.

Odor & Taste Removal

Targets geosmin, MIB, H2S, and dissolved organics that cause off-tastes in water.

VOC & THM Removal

Adsorbs volatile organics, trihalomethanes and disinfection byproducts to below EPA limits.

Heavy Metals Polishing

Impregnated carbons capture mercury, lead traces and arsenic in polishing stages.

Landfill Leachate

Reduces color, ammonia carriers, and refractory organics in landfill runoff treatment.

Cooling Tower Water

Removes free chlorine and organics before ion exchange and reverse osmosis units.
