ACTIVATED ALUMINA FOR WATER TREATMENT
Granular activated alumina enables the removal of arsenic and fluoride from drinking water
and is used in industrial applications. Activated alumina is listed by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) as a “best available technology” (BAT) for the removal of arsenic
and fluoride. NSF 61 certified
Activated alumina is NSF 61 certified for drinking water applications and is used in various
municipal and bottled water facility applications for the removal of arsenic and fluoride.
Industrial applications With arsenic and fluoride health-related concerns on the rise, activated
alumina offers a polishing step for industrial waste waters. Common applications using
arsenic and fluoride within the production process include glass manufacturing, aluminum and
steel processing, pesticide as well as fertilizer production and the semiconductor industry.
Cost effective treatment
Our product granular activated alumina has a higher bulk density that also allows for more
capacity over less dense alumina. In addition, activated alumina is often a cost- effective
method for removing both arsenic and fluoride since it can be regenerated to allow the material
to be used multiples of times before
