SWT anthracites meet all engineering specifications and/or can be custom specified. Certificates of analysis for all ASI, AWWA, or ASME standards and protocols can be provided by request.
Standard packaging is either 2000 lb. supersacks or 1 cubic foot bags. The 1 cubic foot bags are banded, skidded, and shrink wrapped for reliable transport. |

| BACKWASH — After each cycle the media bed should be backwashed at a rate that expands the bed 20 to 40 percent. |

Warning
For safety and handling purposes, we recommend appropriate protective measures when entering a wet vessel containing granular activated carbon, because wet activated carbon depletes oxygen from air and therefore, dangerously low levels of oxygen may be encountered. In such a case, the oxygen level inside the vessel shall be determined before entering and appropriate protective equipment should be worn when entering, or leave the vessel open until the oxygen level in the vessel is normal. |
