ActiGuard® AAFS50
Description: ActiGuard® – Water Treatment Series – Arsenic & metals removal from water.
Characteristics: Proprietary
Shape: Granules
ActiGuard® AAFS50 iron enhanced activated alumina with high arsenic capacity and low cost make it the most economical adsorption route for arsenic removal.
ActiGuard® AAFS50 is designed for single pass use, landfill disposal passes both Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and California Waste Extraction Test (WET). It has been utilized for various EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) superfunds sites for remediation application.
ActiGuard® AAFS50 has also proven effective in remediation applications including groundwater site cleanups and stormwater protection where metals including arsenic, zinc, silica, copper, lead, mercury and selenium need to be reduced. It has proven useful in phosphate and nitrate reduction.
ActiGuard AA400G
Description: ActiGuard® – Water Treatment Series – Arsenic & Fluoride removal from water Characteristics: Proprietary Shape: Granules ActiGuard® AA400G is used to simultaneously lower fluoride and arsenic to acceptable levels from potable water. Regeneration is normally used to operate at the most cost-efficient levels. ActiGuard® AA400G is certified by NFS/ANSI Standard 61 for drinking water treatment plant applications.
Activated alumina along with its promoted forms are the perfect choice for the adsorption of unwanted minerals and nutrients, with proven results for arsenic, fluoride, copper, zinc, lead, mercury, silica, phosphates and nitrates. It is currently used to treat potable water for municipal and household units as well as remediation of waste streams. Axens provides ActiGuard® AA400G, an activated alumina product for regenerative fluoride removal. ActiGuard AAFS50 a promoted alumina product
