Activated Alumina for Removing Arsenic and Fluoride from Potable Water

Activated alumina, with its high surface area and low cost per volume of treated water, is the perfect choice for removing unwanted minerals from water including: 

• Arsenic  
• Fluoride 
• Copper 
• Zinc 
• Lead 
• Silica 
• Phosphates 
• Nitrates

The NSF 61 certified AXENS ActiGuard activated alumina medias have long been used to adsorb Arsenic and Fluoride from potable water. Water treatment systems designers and managers around the world have turned to AXENS activated alumina for: 

Cost Effectiveness 

• Low cost media coupled with high uptake capacity 

Simple Design and Installation 

• Generally only lead/lag vessels needed 
• No dosing other than pH adjustment or chlorination when required 

Pressure or Gravity Flow 

• Typically used in pressure vessel for potable 
• Also non-potable water gravity or flooded systems  

Easy disposal 

• Passes TCLP and California WET for landfill disposal  

Regeneration for high levels of contaminants 

• Dilute NaOH, H2SO4 for regeneration
