Product Overview
WT-P is our wastewater treatment powdered activated carbon, engineered specifically for the demanding conditions of industrial effluent treatment. Unlike carbons designed for clean water applications, WT-P is formulated to perform in high-COD, high-solids, and variable-pH environments where standard products would quickly blind or lose capacity.
The ""WT"" designation identifies our Wastewater Treatment series; ""P"" indicates the powdered form optimized for rapid dispersion and contact in mixed reactors. The manufacturing process emphasizes mesopore development for large-molecule adsorption—the type of contaminants that dominate industrial wastewater streams.

Key Application Areas
- Industrial wastewater COD reduction — chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing effluents
- Color removal — textile, dyeing, and printing wastewater
- Toxic organics removal — phenols, pesticides, and priority pollutants
- Refinery and petrochemical wastewater — oil and grease, BTEX compounds
- Municipal wastewater tertiary treatment — micropollutant and pharmaceutical removal
Wastewater-Specific Design
- High Mesopore Volume: Targets the large molecular weight organics typical of industrial effluents
- Rapid Settling: Particle size distribution optimized for efficient solid-liquid separation
- PH Tolerance: Effective across pH 4–10 without significant capacity loss
- Oil and Grease Resistance: Surface chemistry resists fouling by oily contaminants
Operational Benefits
- Batch or Continuous Use: Compatible with batch contact tanks, continuous stirred reactors, and pipeline dosing
- Direct Addition: No pre-wetting required—disperses directly into turbulent flow
- Compatible with Biological Treatment: Can be added to activated sludge systems without harming biomass
- Enhanced BOD/COD Ratio: Selective adsorption of non-biodegradable organics improves biological treatability
