Powdered activated carbon is made from organic materials with high carbon contents such as wood, lignite and coal. PAC typically has a diameter less than 0.1 mm and an apparent density ranging between 23 and 46 lb/ft3, depending on the material used and manufacturing process. Powdered activated carbon is used by water treatment plants on either a full time basis or as needed for taste and odor control or removal of organic chemicals. PAC is can be fed as a powder using dry feed equipment or as a slurry using metering pumps. Dry feed systems are typically used for smaller dosages and where PAC feed is infrequent.
