Chemviron, a Kuraray company and European Operations of Calgon Carbon, develops and applies activated carbon and filter aid technology to protect people and the environment from harmful contaminants in water, air, food, and industrial processes.
Activated Carbon
Chemviron is the world’s largest manufacturer of granular activated carbons that have purified air, water, and liquid chemicals for over 80 years.
Chemviron is a pioneer in cutting-edge textile technology. Originally developed by the British Ministry of Defence for use in chemical warfare suits, Chemviron’s Flexzorb® Activated Carbon Cloth (ACC) has many relevant uses in defence, industrial, and medical applications.
To ensure that purification with activated carbons is easy, Chemviron provide a mobile carbon filter service for on-site installation of carbon adsorbers for air, biogas, water, liquid chemical and food grade product treatments.
Once granular or pelletised activated carbons have been used for purification or decolourisation applications, they can normally be recycled by thermal reactivation enabling activated carbon to be returned to customers for reuse.
Chemviron provides a wide range of technical support capabilities to help our customers make the best use of our activated carbon technology, reactivation services and mobile carbon filter solutions.
Filtration using mineral processing aids provides a high degree of flexibility and an ease of processing which is suitable for all types of liquids and solid impurities removal. Today it is the reference technology in many industrial sectors, such as:
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large class of thousands of highly stable manmade chemicals that are used throughout society in a large array of applications such as firefighting foams, coatings, refrigerants etc.
Chemviron has been supplying activated carbon to the gold industry for many years and so has developed extensive expertise and experience with gold adsorption operations.
