Product Overview

The Best Media and Equipment Considerations

Newterra water experts will focus on your infrastructure, challenges and water chemistry to select the optimal core treatment media and equipment to solve your issues.

Features:

The back washable CANSORB CP holds up to 40,000 lbs per vessel of activated carbon and has flow rates up to 1,000 GPM
Newterra offers virgin coal-based, wood-based and coconut-based granular Granular Activated Carbon Filter Media.
Ion exchange media has also proven to be a meaningful process for removing the short-chain compounds of PFAS using a selective resin.

Best Media:

The optimum PFAS removal design should account for the overall composition of the source water, the type and concentration of PFAS compounds it contains, and critical media performance attributes relative to those specific conditions.
Making the most cost-effective choice also requires considering the physics of the treatment equipment and the impact on energy efficiency.

Best Equipment:

And because the mechanics of different system designs can impact operating costs and system longevity, the nuances of corrosion resistance and pressure loss before upgrading capacity or replacing older systems should be considered.
Other considerations: energy concerns, system construction, NSF-61 compliance and system longevity
