Datasheet Water Norit GAC 830 W Norit GAC 830 W is a granular activated carbon, which is suitable in a wide range of applications such Document No. as purification of (potable) water and industrial process liquids. Norit GAC 830 W is very suitable for 830WD removal of f.i. natural organics, pesticides, detergents, chlorinated solvents and compounds causing taste and odour problems. Norit GAC 830 W is produced by steam activation of coal; its superior hardness makes it particularly suited for thermal reactivation. Product / Application Granular activated carbon Norit GAC 830 W meets the requirements of the US Food Chemicals Codex (6th edition, 2008) and the Drinking Water Standard EN 12915 (European Normalisation, 2003).

Reactivation of exhausted carbon can be carried out in kilns on site or at one of Norit's facilities. The best option depends on the distance between client and nearest Norit facilities and on the amount of carbon to be reactivated per annum. 6 The level of floaters measured according to EN 12915 amounts to <1 mass-%. Under practical conditions a fraction of the carbon may wet slowly. Please refer to Norit Technical Bulletin 41B.
