Our Capabilities
Puragen’s capabilities are built to deliver the best filtration solutions for every customer, in the most sustainable and cost-effective way. Our capabilities span the full lifecycle of activated carbon filtration, from system design and media selection to reactivation and logistics management. We support both permanent and mobile filtration solutions for complex industrial applications.
Our award winning chemists, materials scientists and engineers use leading lab facilities and analytics to derive and support precise technical solutions for each customer requirement.
We supply a comprehensive range of carbons tailored to specific applications. We also enhance the performance of our carbon for specific processes via impregnation and precise particle sizing.
We operate a growing mobile filter fleet to deliver scalable, plug and play filters to customers, with maximum flexibility, minimal downtime, and no on-site waste handling.
We can manage as much of the carbon lifecycle as each customer requires, from supply, carbon exchange and reactivation to system maintenance and optimisation.
We operate one of the most advanced closed-loop carbon reactivation networks in Europe to deliver efficient filtration, traceability and environmental benefits.
Our processing and logistics hubs deliver to and support each customer’s needs across our full range of products and services.
Applications
Industries We Serve
Puragen offers tailored applications for a large number of evolving purification needs across multiple industries. Our activated carbon solutions are engineered to meet strict regulatory compliance standards for municipal water treatment, industrial air emissions, and hazardous waste remediation.
Remove contaminants for safe drinking water and wastewater discharge.
Improve water quality of commercial and residential water via the use of POU and POE filters.
Clean up emissions at EfW facilities and purify biogas at AD sites and landfills to protect CHP engines and upgrade biomethane for G2G injection.
Capture emissions and odors from waste facilities such as waste reception halls and waste transfer stations.
Filter emissions from industrial and manufacturing processes.
Remove liquid and gas phase hazardous chemicals from soil and groundwater.
Enhance safety and quality through purification, decolorisation, deodorisation and removal of organic compounds.
Purify, decolorise and remove contaminants from chemical and medical products.
I have worked extensively with the Puragen team over many years and have always found them to be extremely knowledgeable, helpful and willing to go the extra mile to get projects completed on time and on budget. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for any activated carbon purification project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Activated carbon filtration is used to remove contaminants from air and water, including PFAS, VOCs, odors, and industrial pollutants. It is widely used in municipal water treatment, vapor phase air filtration, and energy production facilities to improve environmental compliance and operational performance.
Yes. Puragen offers carbon reactivation services to restore spent activated carbon to usable condition. Reactivation helps reduce waste, lower operational costs, and support sustainability goals while maintaining filtration efficiency.
Activated carbon systems are commonly used in municipal water treatment, industrial manufacturing, energy production, waste management, remediation, food and beverage processing, and specialty chemical applications. These industries rely on carbon filtration for contaminant removal, emissions control, and regulatory compliance.
Activated carbon is widely used in both liquid-phase and vapor-phase treatment systems to help reduce PFAS, VOCs, and other regulated contaminants. Proper media selection, system design, and changeout strategy are critical to maintaining performance and regulatory compliance.
Puragen supports both permanent and mobile activated carbon filtration systems, tailored to site-specific flow rates, contaminant profiles, and regulatory requirements. Our team works across design, deployment, reactivation, and logistics to ensure reliable system performance.
