Activated Carbon Media for Water Treatment

It all starts with the media. Offering the best equipment in the industry means nothing if the media inside is not the best quality and the most appropriate for the application.

TDM offers a wide array of media for treating water regardless of the application and the industry. We work with you to make sure that we provide the best media for the application

We offer virgin activated carbon using a variety of raw materials.   Based on the selection of these raw materials and the activation process, we can provide carbon media with a pore structure that is most effective on the contaminants you are removing.  We can also provide blends and layering of this media as needed when the removal of a range of contaminants is required.

TDM offers virgin activated carbon made from coconut shells, coal, lignite, and wood.  We offer virgin and reactivated carbon media that has a good general removal for organic contaminants as well as media that is specifically designed to remove specific contaminants like MTBE.

Other Media

TDM also offers a variety of media that is not activated carbon such as OrganoClay.  TDM offers TW-ZW media which is a great pretreatment or treatment media for removing most organic contaminants.  The media is effective on Oil, grease, dissolved and free phase hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents as well as food grade and some mineral oils. ZW media offers a much higher capacity for these compounds than carbon or any other clay media.  The media can remove as much as 70% of its own weight in organic material.

TOC – naturally occurring organic compounds in your water can consume a lot of activated carbon as well as other issues if it is not removed.  ZW media is a great pretreatment step in front of your carbon to reduce your operating costs.

Unlike other Organoclay media, there is no swelling or softening in water treatment.  This organoclay can be used straight with no need to blend with anthracite or activated carbon

Metals Treatment

TA-ZWM – Organoclay for metals treatment.  This media is also excellent in removing a wide range of dissolved metals. Unlike straight ion exchange media which can be rendered almost useless in groundwater applications, our media is not affected by chlorides or other compounds in the water.   Some of the metals this media removes:  Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium, Zinc

TW-AS Media – this is a granular media which is made from a calcined DE media that is impregnated with ferric hydroxide.  This media has excellent capacity for arsenic as well as lead.  Unlike most of the products in the market,  AS media is not affected by iron, silica, or sulfate in the water.

Iron & Manganese

We offer multiple types of treatment media and packaged systems for removing these troublesome metals. There are many ways to address the problem and will provide one that not only works but will work with your existing equipment and with your requirement.
