Adsorption / Ion Exchange
Aqueous Phase Activated Carbon
Groundwater or seepage water slightly contaminated with organic contaminants can be treated by activated carbon adsorption. Activated carbon adsorption is feasible for almost all organic substances. Additionally high COD contaminations can be reduced.

BAUER Environment Group offers a special type of activated carbon FWS-FILcarbon Typ 0.20.6/W-IDA, which is regenerated after use. Our vessels for activated carbon range from 0.4 m³ (spec. SAK 400) up to 50 m³ (spec. BI 500).
Adsorbers
Zeolites or granulate are alternative substitutes for activated carbon. Their advantage is the specific use for target substances.
Ion Exchange
Anions and cations are eliminated from the liquid phase by ion exchangers. BAUER Environment Group offers vessels with weak or strong acidic cation exchangers, weak or strong alkaline anion exchangers and mixed bed ion exchangers.
