1. SPECIFICATIONS
1.1 The Powdered Activated Carbon is required for the removal of substances such as geosmin and algal toxins, which cause unacceptable tastes and odours in the water.
1.2 The substances to be removed from the water are geosmin and microcystins. As dosing facilities are limited, only carbons which have a high degree of effectiveness in removing these substances will be considered. It has been found that industry standard tests such as Iodine Number are poor indicators of performance in this regard.
1.3 These substances generally occur seasonally when continuous dosing is required. At other times, only intermittent dosing may be required to arrest the problem if present.

2. QUALITY

2.1 Typical characteristics shall be as follows:
Sieve Analysis Sieve Size (mm) Maximum % Retained
0,355 0
0,150 1
0,075 15

2.2 Moisture Content: Maximum 10%
2.3 The Powdered Activated Carbon shall be certified as suitable for the treatment of potable water and shall contain no soluble mineral or organic substances. A Certificate of Analyses must be submitted with the tender submission for product/s offered.
2.4 The Powdered Activated Carbon must have a high adsorptive for geosmin and microcystin and cost-effective removal will be of prime importance.
2.5 Activation shall be done preferably by the steam activation process only.
2.6 Reactivated or recycled carbons will not be considered and shall not be offered as any part of the tender.
2.7 Any bag containing debris or physical contaminants will be rejected. Unwanted material of this nature may lead to the whole batch being rejected.
2.8 The tenderer shall be liable for any damage caused by physical contaminants in the Powdered Activated Carbon.
