HYDRODARCO 4000 granular activated carbon is an acid washed carbon designed for water treatment applications. It is produced by high temperature steam activation of lignite coal. HYDRODARCO 4000 granular activated carbon has a wide pore size distribution and large pore volume. These characteristics provide HYDRODARCO 4000 granular activated carbon with rapid adsorption rate and high capacity for dissolved organics.

HYDRODARCO 4000 granular activated carbon is Kosher certified, meets NSF/ANSI Standard 61 and the requirements of the latest version of the U.S. Food Chemicals Codex.

Potable Water

HYDRODARCO 4000 granular activated carbon adsorbs taste, odor, color and toxic organic compounds from drinking water. It has the highest capacity of any commercial water carbon for tannic and humic compounds, which are precursors for trihalomethane (THM) formation. HYDRODARCO 4000 granular activated carbon effectively removes pesticides, herbicides, synthetic organic chemicals, and other suspected carcinogens found in drinking water supplies. HYDRODARCO 4000 granular activated carbon meets all AWWA B604 standards for activated carbon for rapid gravity filters and pressure contactors used in potable water purification systems.

Wastewater and Contaminated Groundwater

Whether applied at point source or in a polishing filter, HYDRODARCO 4000 granular activated carbon can be used to meet discharge limits for most regulated organics. The broad pore size distribution of HYDRODARCO 4000 granular activated carbon allows treatment of complex wastewater streams containing both large and small molecular size pollutants. The macroporous structure of HYDRODARCO 4000 granular activated carbon provides high tolerance for natural organic matter (NOM), which interferes with adsorption of other organic contaminants.
