Granular activated alumina is a water treatment device that adsorbs the contaminants present in the water. It consists of a bed of activated alumina granules, which adsorb impurities when water is passed through it. Activated Alumina can be particularly useful for treating source water, which often has high levels of sulfate concentration.
BS EN 13753 covers products used for the treatment of water intended for human consumption. It is applicable to granular activated alumina used for the treatment of water intended for human consumption.
BS EN 13753 on granular activated alumina used for the treatment of water is useful for:
Activated alumina can be used as a point-of-entry or point-of-use water treatment device. Activated alumina absorbs contaminants instead of filtering them. The effectiveness of activated alumina depends on the contaminant, characteristics of the alumina, the device design, and water quality.
BS EN 13753 provides you with the characteristics and the corresponding test methods of granular activated alumina. It helps you to avoid potential adverse effects on the quality of water intended for human consumption.
