CarboTech, a full-service provider in the field of activated carbon, starts the first half of the year with a strong performance and wins RWW, which has several drinking water plants in the Ruhr region, as a new customer in a Europe-wide tender at the turn of the year.
RWW (Rheinisch-Westfälische Wasserwerksgesellschaft) supplies 900,000 people, industry and commerce in the western Ruhr region and the neighboring Münsterland region with 75 million cubic meters of drinking and process water every year.
This year, CarboTech is supplying a total of approx. 1,500 m³ of activated carbon (including 450 m³ of fresh carbon and 1,050 m³ of reactivated carbon) for drinking water treatment.
Over time, drinking water treatment has become a very complex challenge for waterworks due to the increased use of pharmaceuticals and other combinations of pollutants from agriculture and industry.
This is why solution providers such as CarboTech are in demand, whose activated carbon products offer reliable purification performance with a long service life thanks to their high quality and excellent adsorption properties. The CarboTech activated carbon products used in drinking water applications naturally also meet the DIN EN 12915 and DIN EN 12903 certifications, making them suitable for use in sensitive environments.
Complex cleaning task – simple solution
We recognized drinking water treatment and the associated challenges for potential customers due to the tightening of the Drinking Water Ordinance at an early stage and set our sales focus there in 2023. The acquisition of RWW, just like IWB before it, shows us that we have set the right focus here,” explains Managing Director Daniel Böke.
Contaminated drinking water requires a good filter medium that is capable of reliably removing a wide range of impurities. Activated carbon, in powdered or granulated form, is used in particular. From a sustainability perspective, activated carbon made from renewable raw materials such as coconut shells is increasingly being used instead of coal.
However, it is not only the raw material of activated carbon that ensures greater sustainability. The good reactivability of activated carbon (regardless of whether it is classically made from coal and charcoal or as a sustainable variant from coconut shells) makes activated carbon a reusable and therefore sustainable filter medium that can be returned to the circular economy after processing.
