Our Activated Carbon Products are Different

Powder activated carbon is effective in the capture of 2-Methylisoborneol (MIB) and Geosmin, the main sources of taste and odor issues in drinking water. While these aren't harmful organic compounds, they create a poor consumer experience. Atrazine on the other hand can have serious effects on human health. It is one of the most common contaminants in water supplies and goes undetected generally when it comes to affecting taste and odor. 

Alpine PAC is a sorbent product that removes harmful and regulated contaminants, resulting in better tasting odorless drinking water.

Power Plants have a multi-tiered set of challenges when it comes to environmental compliance, minimizing waste streams and reducing speed of process equipment corrosion.

Mercury is a trace element present in natural gas and coal that is harmful to the environment. Mercury emissions must be removed to meet United States EPA Air Quality Act Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS). Power plants also have to comply with environmental regulations for fine particulates, referred to as the PM2.5 limits. When facilities use or generate fine powdered materials, compliance with PM2.5 emission limits can be challenging. AuroraPAC™ and AuroraPAC™ Plus (brominated, halogenated product) powder activated carbon can be tailored to meet your regulatory needs. 

Minimizing waste streams is always a priority. Atlas Carbon's AuroraPAC™ and atlaSORB™ do not impact your ability to sell flyash. 

Some power plants can’t capture enough mercury with regular powdered activated carbon. Atlas Carbon’s Aurora PAC Plus is surface treated with a halogen to improve the emissions capture. Unfortunately, the halogen material causes metals in the process to corrode more quickly, which can increase equipment and maintenance costs. Adding atlaSORB (non-halogenated, non-carbon-based sorbent) to the remediation products being used can reduce the amount of halogenated material required and reduce maintenance costs. 

Atlas Carbon can assist you in finding the right product or combination of products to meet your regulatory and business needs.

Activated carbon purifies gas and air using its ability to adsorb chemical compounds that are dangerous or create strong odors. Flue gas from cement kilns can contain high concentrations of mercury. Similar to the multi-tiered challenges that Power Plant facilities deal with, meeting PM2.5 limits and minimizing corrosion of process equipment are areas our products are able to address. Using AuroraPAC and AuroraPAC Plus powdered activated carbon will ensure compliance with National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations.

Environmental remediation companies are brought in by a business or governmental group in order to remove pollutants or contaminants from the environment (i.e., groundwater, surface water, soil or sediment). Activated carbon is a recognized technology used for both in-situ and ex-situ remediation projects to remove harmful contaminants.

We recommend AlpinePAC for remediation projects.

We understand that a one size fits all approach to activated carbon doesn't work across industries and clients. We strive to provide custom solutions designed for your application so that you can operate at your optimum level. Let us help you meet your performance and cost objectives.
