United Manufacturing International 2000 Activated Carbon

What is an Activated Carbon Adsorber Filter Vessel? Or an Adsorber Contactor Column? An activated carbon adsorber is a device used for the removal of contaminants from air or water by the process of adsorption using activated carbon. The adsorber consists of a filter vessel or contactor column that contains activated carbon. Activated Carbon is a highly porous material with a large surface area used for air & gas purification and water & liquid purification. As contaminated air or water flows through the adsorber, the contaminants are trapped on the surface of the activated carbon, effectively removing them from air or water. Carbon filters can effectively remove organic compounds (VOC/SOC), chlorine, and dissolved radon. However, they are not able to remove bacteria, calcium, magnesium, fluorides, nitrates, chlorides, and many other inorganic chemicals. Adsorbers and Filters are sometimes called Contactors. Activated Carbon Adsorbers are used in air and water purification systems to remove impurities, pollutants, and contaminants like PFAS/Dioxins/Furans/DDT/TCE/TCA/1,2 DCE/PCB/BTEX etc. They are particularly effective in removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are synthetic organic chemicals (SOC) that can be harmful to human health and the environment. Activated Carbon Adsorbers are also used to remove odors and flavors from liquids and gases. Our Engineered Activated Carbon systems may be used in water remediation in order to remove contaminants from a water supply or for industrial wastewater treatment to prevent the migration of these contaminants into water supplies. In the gas phase odor control is a major application. Particularly the removal of Hydrogen Sulfide from sewage gas. At UMI-2000, we offer complete activated carbon adsorption systems that can be quickly delivered and easily installed at any treatment site. This equipment is custom-designed, pre-engineered and self-contained for various applications. The effectiveness of an Activated Carbon Adsorber depends on several factors, including the type of contaminants being removed, the amount of activated carbon in the adsorber, and the flow rate of air or water through the adsorber. The Activated Carbon Adsorber/Filter/ Vessel/Contactor/Column/Cannister or Drum may need to be periodically replaced and recharged with fresh activated carbon to maintain effectiveness. Of note is the suitability of model Coal GAC 400 in removing PFAS Compounds,The Forever Chemicals, Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CEC), Synthetic Organic Chemicals (SOC)and Per-Fluorinated Compounds (PFC) like PFOS/PFOA from drinking water. Adsorbers packed with Re-Agglomerated 12x40 mesh Granular Activated Carbon are the contaminant removal filters of choice when purifying drinking water. Granular activated carbon has been used widely on a large scale for the removal of PFAS contaminants from water. This treatment method incurs high initial capital expenditures that range from $682,000 for a 2 mega gallon per day (mgd) plant to $3,900,000 for a 20-mgd plant.

25 Years (and counting) - a Quarter of a Century, founded January 1999, and with many Activated Carbon Adsorption Systems sold to the National USA, HI and Guam. United Manufacturing International 2000 is a modern Activated Carbon Engineering Company. Our Re-Agglomerated Granular Activated Carbon (Model Number Coal GAC 400) has 3 times the Adsorptive Capacity of Direct Activated "Crud" Carbon.
Forecast for Global Activated Carbon Market: What is the Activated Carbon Market size? The Activated Carbon Market is expected to reach USD 4,037.08 million in 2023 and grow at a CAGR of 5.95% to reach USD 5,389.79 million by 2028.

Founder and CEO Laurence G. D'Alberti - ChE - Project Manager of United Manufacturing International 2000 Activated Carbon: "We don't need reviews on Google, every customer we have is a review! We have never had a single complaint in almost a quarter century of doing business in one of the toughest industries. Maintaining the confidentiality of our clients is our covenant unless we have to pull out the heavy artillery".
Just one of our reviews:
"I am pleased to share with you that we received our first set of testing results for disinfection byproducts in our system in January and they were incredible! Our system has always had a problem meeting the state guidelines for TTHM (80Mg/L) and HAA5 (60 Mg/L). Our results were non-detect for HAA5 and 1.4mg/L for TTHM. We are so pleased with the carbon system!" - General Manager Ahimsah Wonderwheel - Buckingham Park Water District.

Our bituminous coal and enhanced coconut shell activated carbons are NSF 61 Certified and meet AWWA B604 Standard, Food and Water Chemical Codex, our factory is ISO-9001 QMS Certified for the production of Activated Carbon. ASTM test methods are performed on our carbons in the lab and no carbons are put into a container for shipping until passing QC testing. In addition, United Manufacturing International 2000 Activated Carbon company is California Proposition 65 Compliant in all phases of our operations. Background on CA Prop. 65: In 1986, California voters approved an initiative to address their growing concerns about exposure to toxic chemicals. That initiative became the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, better known by its original name of Proposition 65. Proposition 65 requires the State to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. This list, which must be updated at least once a year, has grown to include approximately 800 chemicals since it was first published in 1987.
