Testing method helps determine activated carbon remaining serviceProblem: Operators at the drinking water plant in Corvallis, Oregon, were unable to determine the remaining life of their eight activated carbon adsorbers.Solution: Activated Carbon Services - PACS deployed its aqueous-phase carbon adsorber remaining service as a definitive test to answer the question. The test method is based on the Polanyi adsorption model and uses a gravimetric adsorption energy distribution full characterization to provide critical data for remaining service life. The device measures distribution of adsorption energies and associated pore volumes. By comparing starting carbon and used carbons, it can reveal the pores
