Calgon Carbon Awarded Contract for Reactivation Services

Aug. 1, 2013
Thames Water awarded Calgon Carbon a 10-year contract to reactivate spent activated carbon used to treat drinking water

Calgon Carbon Corp. and its European operating group, Chemviron Carbon, announced that Thames Water, the largest provider of drinking water and wastewater services in the U.K., has awarded Chemviron a 10-year contract to reactivate spent activated carbon used to treat drinking water. The value of the contract is dependent upon the amount of carbon that is reactivated annually, which is expected to be approximately 11 million lb.

Chemviron Carbon will reactivate the spent carbon at its Tipton plant near Birmingham, U.K., following a $9.5-million renovation and expansion of the facility, which is expected to be completed in 2014. The plant’s production capacity will be increased from approximately 13 million lb. to 18 million lb. Until the project is completed, Thames’s carbon will be reactivated at Chemviron Carbon’s facilities in Grays, UK and Feluy, Belgium.

Bob O’Brien, Calgon Carbon’s chief operating officer, said, “Because of Thames Water’s ongoing commitment to provide high quality drinking water to their customers, Calgon Carbon and Thames have a relationship that spans decades. We are very pleased that Thames selected Chemviron Carbon for its reactivation services, and we look forward to working with them over the next ten years.”
