During the warmer months of the year, ( typically Spring through Fall) a percentage of our filtered water receives an additional treatment step by flowing through Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) contactors which absorb microscopic natural organic compounds that can combine with the chlorine disinfectant to produce regulated disinfection byproducts. The Wyckoff GAC facility is the largest GAC facility in the southeast with a total of 28 GAC contactors capable of treating 36 million gallons per day (MGD).
DID YOU KNOW?
Each GAC vessel contains 40,000 lbs. of carbon with a maximum flow rate of 1000 GPM.
