We supply high quality activated carbon to manufacturers of both point of use and point of entry water filter systems. Activated carbon and Actitex can remove a variety of pollutants that may be present in potable water supplied from the waterworks. Chlorine, for example, is used as a disinfection agent during network supply and results in an offensive odour and taste. This can be effectively removed with activated carbon, as well as by-products from disinfection, including trihalomethanes which are linked with serious health effects.

In a world where concern over the pollution of water sources is increasing, our activated carbon often provides the last line of defence in the treatment of potable water for consumers across the world. With an ability to remove pesticides, industrial chemicals, and pharmaceutical micro-pollutants, Jacobi’s products provide reassurance in an uncertain world.

Our coal based activated carbons are recognised as industry leaders, with our AquaSorb™ grade being among one of only a few materials to be compliant with CA Proposition 65 requirements for heavy metal leaching.
