BASF's product ATC (Product Code 56550616) is a patented granular material for applications requiring a combined product for carbon and ATS properties - especially reductions of dissolved Lead and Organics. This capacity for Lead and Mercury is selective, even in the presence of competing ions like Calcium and Magnesium which are common in hard water situations.
This high activation carbon matrix has excellent kinetics
and capacity for Chlorine, and solvents from Atrazine to Xylene.
The product is ideal for gravity flow or column applications when the
influent is mixed of contaminants and the media space is limited. Other
applications are where the value lies in the "granular ATS" configuration
created, or the "preblended" combination of both ATS adsorbent pedia plus
GAC Carbon.
ATC has ANSI/NSF Standard 61 certification for drinking water systems - health effects, and complies with US FDA regulations for food and water contact.
