It is a well-known fact that the quality of drinking water varies across geographies and from residence to residence. The source of drinking water is usually the raw waters taken from surface and groundwater supplies which contain many organic compounds such as pesticides, herbicides, phenols, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and their chlorinated counterparts, dyes, surfactants, organic sulfur compounds, ethers, amines, nitro compounds, and newly emerging substances such as Endocrine Disrupting Compounds (EDCs). More than 800 specific organic and inorganic chemicals have been identified in various drinking waters, and many more are suspected to be present.

For several decades, activated carbon adsorption has been one of the most reliable methods of Natural Organic Matter and Disinfection By-Products control. This type of treatment is usually conducted in GAC filters either at the point of entry (POE) or point of use (POU) filters or both in domestic households.

SpaceBlack Adsorbents works closely with manufacturers of POE and POU filtrations systems by offering high quality granular activated carbons derived from coconut shell charcoal and coal.
