Barnebey Sutcliffe Develops Activated Carbon Product for Treating Monochloramine-Contaminated Water
Waterlink/Barnebey Sutcliffe has introduced a unique catalytic activated carbon made from coconut shell specifically for decomposing monochloramine to nitrogen in water. The new MCAT specialty activated carbon is proven to be highly effective for point-of-use (POU) and point-of-entry (POE) water treatment applications. It is ideal for use in beverage applications, including soft drink, bottled water, and brewing; ultra-pure water applications, including the manufacture of semi-conductors; and medical dialysis.
Monochloramine contamination results from the use of chlorine in water disinfection. It can cause odor or unpleasant taste in drinking water and can interfere with hemodialysis and manufacturing processes that require ultra-pure water.
Because it is made from coconut shell, Barnebey Sutcliffe's MCAT product offers several unique advantages in water treatment. Coconut shell-based activated carbons exhibit a predominance of micropores, increasing their capacity for trace organic compounds, such as trihalomethanes, or THMs. The preponderance of micropores enables MCAT carbon to simultaneously eliminate monochloramine and other contaminants found in disinfected water - and renders it a true multi-purpose medium. Coconut shell-based carbons also offer high hardness and low dust, making them ideal for use in water treatment.
"The development of MCAT is in line with our commitment to providing superior products for a broad range of individual application requirements," said Bill Eubanks, vice president of Barnebey Sutcliffe's carbon division. "This commitment has led to the development of one of the activated carbon industry's most extensive line of specialty activated carbons. MCAT joins a list of over 100 specialty carbons developed and manufactured at Barnebey Sutcliffe facilities."
