Removing vanadium using GEH: scientific model published for predicting filter breakthroughs
When planning adsorption filters, the level of achievable adsorption capacity plays a significant role, as this determines the residence time (i.e. the replacement interval) and thus also the cost effectiveness. In conjunction with the Hydrogeochemistry Work Group at the University of Mainz, a model for the multi-component granular ferric oxide - vanadate - arsenate - phosphate - silicic acid system has now been successfully created and tested on the basis of laboratory tests and practical data.

Collaboration with Hamburg University of Technology
Even established products, like our GEH granular adsorpent, find new fields of application and process options. With this in mind, we have formed a research project with the Institute of Water Resources and Water Supply at the Technical University Hamburg-Harburg (TUHH) to develop an innovative process for removing arsenic from drinking water that can be applied in addition to the tried-and-tested GEH fixed-bed adsorber technology currently in use.
