Portable Water Treatment

TONGKE ACTIVATED CARBON CO.,LTD focuses on the global potable water treatment industry (municipal water supply, food & beverage, bottled water). Source water is polluted by trace organics, residual chlorine and odors, with high humidity and unstable water quality. Tighter standards (GB 5749-2022, NSF/ANSI 61) force enterprises to ensure water safety while controlling costs and meeting environmental requirements.
Potable Water Solutions
Our activated carbon technologies deliver reliable water treatment solutions for municipal facilities, safeguarding the safety of public drinking water. We fully comply with domestic and international norms and hold relevant certifications including NSF and AWWA, strictly meeting rigorous water quality criteria. Our global team consists of professionals with in-depth knowledge of regulatory requirements across different regions.

What substances can activated carbon remove in portable water?
Our activated carbon products effectively purify drinking water by eliminating the following contaminants:
  • Algal metabolites: taste and odor-causing substances such as MIB and geosmin, plus blue-green algae (BGA) toxins including microcystins
  • Pesticides and their degradation by-products, such as metolachlor ESA and OXA
  • Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) and precursors of Disinfection By-Products (DBPs)
  • Synthetic chemicals including perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
  • Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) and trace micropollutants
  • Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products (PPCPs)
  • Chemicals derived from industrial and agricultural activities
Ordinary activated carbon fails due to key flaws: insufficient adsorption for trace pollutants (2-MIB, PFAS) causing unqualified taste; poor adaptability to high humidity/pH, leading to agglomeration and secondary pollution; short service life from easy pore blockage; and excessive heavy metals/ash failing food-grade standards.
What Activated Carbon Solution Does TONGKE Provide?
Granular Activated Carbon for Potable Water treatment
Granular activated carbon (GAC) is applied in gravity-flow filtration systems. Regular backwashing is performed to mitigate pressure loss and maintain biological stability. GAC only requires replacement once fully depleted. Its service life generally lasts several years for adsorption applications, while Biological Activated Carbon (BAC) can remain in service for 10 to 15 years.

Powdered Activated Carbon for Potable Water treatment
Powdered activated carbon (PAC) is dosed into water at a concentration of 3–50 mg/L based on actual operating conditions, and is later separated along with sludge in subsequent treatment processes.

Anthracite for Potable Water
Anthracite serves in gravity-flow filters to remove suspended solids and reduce water turbidity. Backwashing is conducted routinely when pressure loss rises. Replacement is only needed after long-term abrasion from backwashing wears down particle size. High-grade ultra-hard anthracite typically has a service life of 15 to 20 years.
 
What Results Can TONGKE’s Solution Achieve?
Tested by third parties (China National Environmental Monitoring Centre, NSF), our solution achieves ≥99% residual chlorine removal, 85%+ disinfection by-product removal, and odor reduction to <1 ng/L. Customers report 50% lower maintenance costs; its 18-month service life outperforms ordinary carbon, winning wide recognition.
We are activated carbon manufacturer integrating scientific research, development, production and sales. the product categories cover wood activated carbon, coal activated carbon, honeycomb activated carbon, coconut shell activated carbon, fruit shell activated carbon and other activated carbon product.
