Calgon Carbon To Supply Wastewater Treatment To Huntsman Plant In China

Pittsburgh-based Calgon Carbon Corp., a supplier of water and air treatment systems, has received a wastewater treatment contract from Huntsman Textile Effects (Qingdao) Co. Ltd. — a China-based subsidiary of Huntsman Special Effects, Switzerland — to provide activated carbon adsorption vessels and reactivation services valued at more than US$1.5 million.

Huntsman (Qingdao) has installed three Calgon Carbon carbon adsorption vessels for wastewater treatment at the plant, which blends, standardizes and dries textile dyes; and formulates and distributes textile chemicals. The vessels contain 60,000 pounds of activated carbon, and Calgon Carbon will remove, transport and reactivate expended carbon; and supply replacement carbon for the system.

“We are very pleased that Huntsman has chosen Calgon Carbon to provide wastewater treatment at its facility in Qingdao,” said John Stanik, chairman and CEO, Calgon Carbon. “We are committed to provide products and services to both Chinese and multinational companies to make air and water safer and cleaner in China.”
