Norit Nederland BV

Norit Nederland BV, headquartered in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, is one of the world’s oldest and largest activated carbon producers, with production roots dating to 1916 when its Zaandam plant began operations. Now operating ten manufacturing plants and joint ventures across seven countries on three continents, Norit produces more than 400 distinct grades of activated carbon and serves over 1,000 customer groups annually in more than 100 countries. The company’s portfolio spans powdered, granular (crushed and screened), and pellet (extruded) activated carbon types manufactured from diverse feedstocks including wood shavings, coconut shell charcoal, peat, and multiple coal ranks. In water treatment, the NORIT GAC series provides granular activated carbon grades optimized for drinking water and wastewater adsorption, while the NORIT GAC W series offers cost-effective options for Eurasian markets with high adsorption capacity and good wettability. The HYDRODARCO series delivers powdered and granular carbons with unique pore structures tailored for high-TOC water sources and PACT activated sludge systems, and NORIT SAE SUPER serves as the industry benchmark for micropollutant removal from wastewater, targeting pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and endocrine disruptors. For air and gas applications, the DARCO H2S LP grade addresses hydrogen sulfide and odor control. A strategic focus on PFAS removal has positioned Norit at the forefront of emerging contaminant treatment, with an NSF-certified reactivation facility achieving validated 99.98% PFAS destruction. The company also supplies mobile filter units and powdered carbon dosing equipment for rapid deployment, alongside reactivation services, technical treatability evaluations, analytical testing, and pilot-scale filter design support.
