Water & Wastewater Sorbents

Water & Wastewater Treatment Sorbents

Sorbents Direct offers specialized media for water and wastewater treatment, including activated carbon, zeolites, alumina, and more. Designed to remove heavy metals, organic contaminants, and other pollutants in municipal, industrial, and commercial systems. Our materials support compliance, sustainability, and long-term system performance.

Common Treatment Applications

Municipal water treatment: Activated carbons and aluminas remove chlorine byproducts, VOCs, and PFAS compounds.
Industrial wastewater: Zeolites and clays capture heavy metals, oils, and suspended solids before discharge.
Groundwater remediation: Specialty carbons and minerals adsorb hydrocarbons, pesticides, and trace organics.
Stormwater filtration: Porous sorbents help manage runoff while meeting environmental standards.

Material Benefits

High adsorption capacity: Engineered pore structures capture a wide range of contaminants efficiently.
Chemical compatibility: Suitable for acids, bases, hydrocarbons, and dissolved organics.
Long media life: Stable performance under variable flow and contaminant loads.
Flexible formats: Available in granular, pellet, and powdered forms for system integration.

Example Application

A municipal facility upgraded its sand filtration system with granular activated carbon and zeolite blend media to reduce organic carbon and ammonia levels. The change extended service life between backwash cycles and improved downstream chlorine efficiency, lowering total treatment costs.
