- Canisters
Field Tested Results
On a standard solution of 15ppb concentration (arsenic), SorbsterTM As media accomplishes the following:
FASTER: Contact time is less than 2 minutes.
CHEAPER: ~500 lbs of media for every 1 pound of arsenic removed
GREENER: 1,000 bed volume, capacity equals 1,000 mg of arsenic / kg SorbsterTM and used media passes TCLP test resulting in non-hazardous disposal option.
