The use of granular activated carbon (GAC) as the most probable technique for removing organic contaminants from water is discussed. There are various considerations if GAC is used. The cost of replacing sand filters with GAC, training people to handle the new filter process, and the testing of the raw water supply to determine the type and grade of GAC that will be needed are covered in this paper.
