Powdered activated carbon (PAC) is dosed as needed, most commonly used in liquid applications, and removed via settling or filtration As the demand for activated carbon continues to grow, so too, does the number of suppliers. It can be an overwhelming decision to choose a suitable product. For drinking water (potable), PAC is typically added at the beginning of the process and can be dosed at several points in the treatment train. Dosing can be adjusted depending upon treatment goals making it ideal for surface water sources that vary in contaminant content throughout the year. In wastewater systems, PAC is often added to the aeration basin to improve microbial efficacy. One of the largest volume dry applications for PAC is for the adsorption of mercury from flue gas at coal-fired power plants. A large and ‘growing’ application is as a soil additive in which the PAC adsorbs chemicals that are detrimental to plants. PAC also stores moisture for a more stable growing environment and serves as a substrate on which beneficial microorganisms can establish and grow.
