Norit Activated Carbon
About
Norit Activated Carbon is a global manufacturer with over a century of production experience, operating more than 400 grades of granular and powdered activated carbon from 10 manufacturing facilities across seven countries on three continents. The company serves over 1,000 customer groups in more than 100 countries from regional headquarters in Amersfoort (Netherlands), Marshall (Texas, USA), and Singapore. In the water sector, Norit provides powdered activated carbon (PAC) for continuous dosing applications targeting taste, odor, organic micropollutants, and PFAS removal, alongside granular activated carbon (GAC) for fixed-bed adsorption filter systems in drinking water, industrial process water, and wastewater treatment. Beyond water, the company supplies specialized carbon grades for food and beverage purification including edible oils, sugar refining, decaffeination, and CO2 treatment; pharmaceutical active ingredients and toll manufacturing of tablets and capsules; chemical processing and catalyst support; oil and gas mercury removal and acid gas treatment; biogas and RNG upgrading for hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen, and siloxane removal; precious metals recovery in gold mining; and flue gas treatment at power, steel, and cement facilities. Norit operates regional reactivation facilities in EMEA, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific with NSF-certified thermal reactivation validated at 99.98 percent PFAS destruction efficiency. Mobile filter units and powdered carbon dosing systems support temporary and emergency treatment needs.
