A simple solution to remove Pesticides such as Metaldehyde
What is Metaldehyde?Metaldehyde is a selective pesticide used by farmers and gardeners to control slugs and snails in a wide variety of crops. It is sold under a variety of brand names, generally as blue coloured pellets. What is the problem?In certain locations Water companies have recently been detecting traces of metaldehyde in the water they extract from rivers and reservoirs which, although are at low levels, are above the European and UK standards set for drinking water. Unfortunately some current treatment methods designed to remove a range of pesticides are not effective at reducing the levels of Metaldehyde in water.
Metaldehyde Problems Solved
Hasn't Carbon been used before?Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) and Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) are commonly used in the water treatment process to remove pesticides. However, due to the characteristics of Metaldehyde, the life of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is significantly reduced, thus increasing the GAC regeneration frequency which, in turn, increases treatment costs and plant shut-downs. Powdered Activated carbon does not have these operational problems and can be used to remove Metaldehyde.Advantages of Transvac PAC Dosing Systems
