GenX

Reagglomerated Coal based GAC effectively removes GenX to non-detect levels.

GAC effectively removes GenX from groundwater and surface water, though system design and carbon selection is important.

  • Third party testing demonstrates reagglomerated bituminous coal to remove GenX to non-detect levels for over 150 simulated days of operation.
  • Contact time is an important factor in system design and may need to be elongated beyond our typical recommendation to achieve a practical breakthrough time (i.e. 20 minute EBCT vs. 10 minute EBCT).
  • Pilot testing in NC showed GenX removal at 20 minutes EBCT.
