ABC-02

Filtrate

Engineered filtration media for water quality applications.

Submit a projectRequest spec sheet

What it does

ABC-02 Filtrate replaces or supplements granular activated carbon where the use case tolerates a biochar-class adsorbent. Specified by surface area, pore distribution, and certified feedstock — not by bag label.

What it does

  • Adsorbs a broad band of organics and dissolved metals
  • Delivers GAC-class performance at a fraction of embedded carbon
  • Pairs with mineral filtration layers in engineered treatment trains

Where it fits

  • Drinking water polishing (non-potable-certified applications)
  • Industrial pre-treatment and process water
  • Municipal stormwater quality retrofits
  • Filtration-forward green infrastructure
