Drinking Water Treatment with Activated Carbon
Clean, safe drinking water is essential for public health, and meeting that need has never been more critical. Whether it’s a municipal utility, an industrial facility, or a mobile treatment system, reliable drinking water treatment depends on high-performance, environmentally responsible technologies.
At Hyera, we manufacture advanced activated carbon for drinking water using renewable feedstocks and carbon-negative processes. Our American Engineered Carbon (AEC) is designed to meet strict quality standards while helping clients reduce emissions, improve efficiency, and meet evolving regulatory demands.
How Activated Carbon Supports Water Purification
Water purification using activated carbon is a proven, efficient, and widely adopted method for removing contaminants from drinking water. With a vast internal surface area and porous structure, activated carbon is uniquely suited to trap and adsorb a wide range of impurities, including:
Organic compounds
taste and odour-causing chemicals (e.g. chlorine)
Micro-pollutants
Pesticides and herbicides
Disinfection by-products (DBPs)
Trace industrial runoff and emerging contaminants
Hyera’s AEC product line offers premium performance, optimised adsorption kinetics, and sustainability at its core. Unlike traditional coal- or coconut-based products, our activated carbon for drinking water is made in the USA using renewable agricultural byproducts and low-emission manufacturing techniques.
Advantages of Hyera Activated Carbon for Drinking Water
Hyera’s activated carbon solutions deliver reliable results across a range of treatment scenarios. From large-scale municipal plants to remote and mobile systems. Backed by rigorous testing and sustainability credentials, our AEC range offers the following benefits:
Key Benefits:
Highly Effective
Removes chlorine, trace organics, odour compounds, and more. Ideal for meeting EPA and local drinking water standards.
Quality Assurance
All AEC products are tested internally and verified through third-party labs to ensure compliance with ASTM and NSF standards.
Sustainable U.S. Manufacturing
Our carbon is made from biomass (not coal), with carbon-negative production methods and full U.S. traceability.
Versatile Use Cases
From long-term filtration to emergency contaminant removal, AEC products are optimised for both granular and powdered applications.
Types of Activated Carbon
Hyera manufactures both granular activated carbon (GAC) and powdered activated carbon (PAC) to support different drinking water treatment needs.
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
GAC consists of larger, irregular granules that are well-suited for continuous-flow systems such as fixed-bed filters. Its extended contact time and low pressure drop make it ideal for removing organic matter, chlorine, and DBPs in large municipal plants.
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)
PAC is made up of fine particles that allow for rapid contaminant removal and flexible dosing. It’s ideal for seasonal pollutant spikes or emergency response scenarios where speed and adaptability are essential. As leading powdered activated carbon suppliers, we offer consistent quality and reliable supply across the U.S.
Typical Applications
Hyera’s activated carbon for drinking water is trusted across a variety of use cases:
• Municipal drinking water treatment
• Industrial water purification and bottling
• Temporary or mobile treatment systems
• Surface water treatment with variable quality
• PFAS remediation in potable water supply
