Looking for a more convenient and cost effective option for removing arsenic in drinking water? ADSORBSIA™ titanium-based media from Dow is now available in North America to help municipalities comply with the 2006 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulation. The new media has improved capabilities compared to all other commercially available media. Advantages include:

  • High capacity media over a wide range of water conditions
  • Nanocrystalline structure results in fastest kinetics allowing for smaller diameter vessels and a smaller system footprint
  • Removes both As(III) and As(V) across a wide pH range without use of pretreatment
  • Stable performance during pH fluctuations
  • Dry, white bead that is easily installed and maintained
  • Spent media from arsenic loading tests have been shown to pass both the TCLP and WET extraction protocols in California
  • NSF/ANSI Standard 61 certified without limitations

The high capacity of ADSORBSIA™ media makes it an ideal non-regenerable single-use product. It offers an affordable, easy to operate approach, especially for small or mid-sized systems. Eliminating regeneration means avoiding the hassles and cost of chemical storage and usage while eliminating waste stream disposal issues. The strong affinity for arsenic allows ADSORBSIA media to maintain a strong hold on the removed arsenic, allowing for easier and safer disposal. ADSORBSIA media also features a longer useful life than traditional adsorbent media, for more productive, cost-advantaged operation.
