Some industries have stringent standards for the purity of water used for their production requirements. Industries such as electrical and electronics, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, and power generation plants typically are required to use only ultrapure water. For these requirements, activated carbons can help to remove traces of organic and inorganic compounds, metals, dissolved minerals and particulate substances, and dissolved gases.

SpaceBlack Adsorbents manufactures very high quality and acid-washed grades of granular activated carbons derived from coconut shell charcoal and coal which are suitable for production of ultrapure water.
