Drinking Water Treatment
Puragen helps water utility companies and water providers deliver clean, safe, high-quality water to communities and customers.
Our activated carbon products and services are recognized within the industry to deliver effective removal of contaminants, including PFAS, pesticides and pharmaceuticals.
We provide a range of activated carbons, mobile filters and award-winning spent carbon reactivation to ensure that drinking water is safe, clean, and meets evolving regulatory standards.

Contaminants we remove
We provide end-to-end filtration services that help drinking water providers purify drinking water by removing a range of contaminants and byproducts:
- Chlorine and chloramine
Remove contaminants that cause unpleasant tastes and odors, especially important in drinking water - Organic contaminants
Efficient removal of a wide range of organic contaminants from water, including pesticides, herbicides, geosmin, pharmaceuticals and dissolved VOCs (volatile organic compounds) - Disinfection by-products (DBPs)
Eliminate carcinogenic compounds like trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids caused by the reaction between chlorine and chloramine and naturally occurring organic matter
Activated Carbon products for Drinking Water
We provide a range of different carbon filtration media for drinking water applications.

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
For applications where drinking water is passed through a bed of carbon.

Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)
For applications where drinking water is treated in a batch process, for example when dealing with seasonal spikes in pesticides. Powdered carbon cannot be reactivated.

Puragen’s range of mobile filters are optimised for a variety of drinking water applications. We can adapt our filters to integrate with any specific site installation requirements.

AquaSorber 22-100
Maximum Flow Rate (m3/hr): 100

AquaSorber 5
Maximum Flow Rate (m3/hr): 20

AquaSorber 2-SX
Maximum Flow Rate (m3/hr): 12
