Introducing RWA LIFE+

At a time when water contamination is a growing concern, we are excited to introduce our latest innovation in activated carbon technology: RWA LIFE+. This newly developed product offers a superior solution for removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water, outperforming market-leading alternatives based on standard reagglomerated coal. Join the movement towards cleaner water and a cleaner planet by making the switch to RWA LIFE+ today!

 

 

Why RWA LIFE+?

RWA LIFE+ is uniquely crafted from coconut-based activated carbon, a renewable and highly effective material. Its high activation ensures maximum adsorption capacity, particularly for challenging contaminants like PFAS.

Compared to traditional coal-based activated carbon, RWA LIFE+ exhibits a significantly improved performance in both adsorption efficiency and longevity.

 

The benefits of RWA LIFE+

Better PFAS Removal Performance 

Test shows that RWA LIFE+ consistently outperforms standard coal-based carbon products, making it the ideal choice for water purification systems that demand higher standards

Maintains excellent removal

of other general organic contamination like TOC, (S)VOC, THM’s etc, as well as being highly effective for chlorine removal

Environmentally Friendly

By using coconut shells as the raw material, RWA LIFE+ helps reduce the carbon footprint associated with activated carbon production. Coconut-based carbon not only provides a sustainable alternative to coal but also offers lower CO2 emissions during production processes

Reusability and Reactivation

RWA LIFE+ is highly suitable for reactivation, which means it can be reused effectively after the regeneration process. This makes it an economical and environmentally sound option for long-term water treatment applications. The ability to reactivate and reuse this coconut-based carbon makes it a sustainable choice that reduces waste and lowers operational costs for water treatment facilities.

 


The test

A Granular Carbon Selection Test (GCST) was conducted by an external lab with various grades of Activated Carbon (GAC). The adsorption behavior of the complete set of PFAS products tested (a total of 10), which included a mixture of sulfonated and carboxylated PFAS, both short and long-chain, was observed. This also encompassed the most commonly found PFOS, PFOA, and PFHxS, which were additionally presented in a separate graph.

The choice of coconut based over coal

The use of coconut shells for RWA LIFE+ is a strategic decision rooted in both performance and sustainability. RWA LIFE+ highly activated carbon is specially developed with the  right ratio of micro- & mesoporosity and surface area, making it ideal for adsorbing persistent molecules like PFAS. Additionally, coconut-based carbon is more a renewable resource, unlike coal, which helps reduce the environmental impact of water treatment processes.

The Future of Water Treatment

PFAS contamination is an increasing concern, and traditional coal-based activated carbons are no longer sufficient to meet modern demands for cleaner water. RWA LIFE+ represents the future of activated carbon in water treatment, providing superior performance, environmental responsibility, and long-term reusability.

For industries, municipalities, and water treatment professionals looking for a cutting-edge solution to PFAS removal, RWA LIFE+ is the product of choice. Join the movement towards cleaner water and planet by making the switch to RWA LIFE+ today.
