Organization: AWWA
Publication Date: 22 January 2012
Status: inactive
Page Count: 56
scope:

This standard describes virgin granular and extruded activated carbons for use as a filter medium and adsorbent in water treatment. It involves the selection, placement, and use of granular activated carbon (GAC) in filter-adsorbers where the GAC must function as both a filter medium and adsorbent, as well as those systems where the primary function is adsorption.

Purpose

The main purpose of this standard is to provide the minimum requirements for GAC, including physical, testing, packing, and shipping requirements.
