Planning aid for filters with granulated activated carbon

July 20, 2020 | Andri Bryner

In addition to ozonation, filters using granulated activated carbon (GAC) are increasingly being deployed to eliminate trace substances from municipal wastewater. Working in conjunction with authorities and representatives from the field, Eawag has developed a document that will assist stakeholders with planning in relation to such measures.

This news (and the publication) is avilable in German and French.
