AmberSorb 560

Summary

Product identification

• Product Name: AmberSorb™ 560 Carbonaceous Adsorbent
• Manufacturer: DuPont
• Product Data Sheet Form Number: 45-D01810-en, Rev. 0
• Publication Date: February 2020

Description

AmberSorb™ 560 is a synthetic, carbonaceous adsorbent media designed for treating 1,4-dioxane and other low-level organic contaminants in drinking water, groundwater, and wastewater. It is regenerable in situ using low-pressure steam, hot gases, solvents, or vacuum desorption.

Advantages over granular activated carbon (GAC):

• Increased capacity for low contaminant concentrations
• Insensitive to fluctuating influent concentrations
• Faster desorption kinetics
• In situ regenerability
• Excellent physical stability

Applications

• 1,4-dioxane removal
• Removal of organics from drinking water
• Removal of organics from vapor
• Groundwater and wastewater remediation
