Calgon Carbon Awarded Contract for New System to Destroy Perchlorate
PITTSBURGH, PA — January 26, 2001 — Calgon Carbon
Corporation announced today that it has received a contract for a
commercial installation of its ISEP+™ System for the removal and
on-site destruction of perchlorate. Under terms of the contract,
valued at more than $14 million, Calgon Carbon will provide a complete
turnkey ISEP+ System to remove and destroy perchlorate in the water at
the site of a former perchlorate manufacturing facility.
A permanent Calgon Carbon Ion Exchange System will replace the
temporary system, which has been successfully treating the
perchlorate-containing water at the site since November 1999. The
ISEP+ installation will be the first to incorporate a module to
recover the brine regenerant as well as destroy the perchlorate on
site.
Commenting on the announcement, Bob O'Brien, senior vice president of
Calgon Carbon, said, "A number of alternative technologies were
evaluated before awarding Calgon Carbon this contract. We are pleased
that they selected ISEP+, the leading-edge technology for perchlorate
removal and destruction."
Calgon Carbon Corporation, headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
is a global leader in services and solutions for making air and water
cleaner and safer. The company employs approximately 1,000 people with
12 facilities and 12 sales and service centers.
