Reactivation of spent activated carbon

At our two thermal reactivation sites in Germany and Austria, we reactivate spent activated carbon from diverse sources, offering you an attractive reuse option and hence, an environment-friendly and cost-saving alternative to disposal.

The pollutants liberated by the reactivation process are destroyed at high temperatures of up to 1200 °C in a downstream incinerator stage followed by flue gas cleanup. The reactivation facilities are licensed under the German Air Pollution Control Act [BimSchG] and operated in strict compliance with the permit requirements. Optimum process control tuned to the specific requirements and the different activated carbon grades ensures the production of a high-quality reactivate. Normally, the original adsorption capacity of the carbons can be restored. The performance of the reactivation process is monitored by ongoing quality control of the reactivated product.
