Our engineers provide detailed P&ID drawings, container layouts, and equipment specifications for your selected Process.
This containerised adsorption option packages activated-carbon (or specialist media) treatment into a transportable, rapidly deployable unit for capturing dissolved organics, micro-pollutants and trace contaminants. Adsorption excels where dissolved compounds — hydrocarbons, solvents, pesticides, taste-and-odour or emerging contaminants — must be polished to low limits that filtration and biology cannot reach. Lead/lag vessels with breakthrough monitoring hold the outlet within specification between media changes, and the container arrives pre-piped, wired and tested. It suits emergency response, temporary duties, pilot work and permanent installations where speed and relocatability matter. We size the media and contact time to the contaminant and the target, so the unit delivers a verified, compliant polishing barrier.
Our expertise spans multiple industries with sector-specific water treatment solutions.
