Norit Americas Inc.
Norit is the world's largest manufacturer of activated carbon with the most diverse product line available from a single supplier. We offer over 150 different types of activated carbon to ensure cost effective solutions for your purification needs.
Air & Gas
Activated carbon is used in multiple applications for air purification. You may be required to meet state or federal regulations for emissions which are potentially harmful to the environment and/or human health. Other user needs range from reducing nuisance odors to ultra purification of gas streams.
Applications for air purification
Water
Your target contaminants may be present in low or high concentration, in clean or dirty water, in surface or groundwater, or in combination with other contaminants. With Norit activated carbons, you never have to "force fit" for any job.
Water contaminant removal
Food
Whether you need to decolorize a liquid syrup or juice, purify edible oils, deodorize proteins or any number of other food processes that require very pure, specialized activated carbons, the purity of your food product is of utmost importance.
How Activated carbon can aid food purity
Beverages
Your customers expect their beverages to look good, smell good and taste good. You need an activated carbon to remove bad tastes and odors or aid in the long term stability of your products. Norit activated carbons are used in applications ranging from fruit juices to malt beverages to distilled liquor.
Beverage and brewing applications
Chemicals
Applications in the chemical industry are countless. Your final product might need an impurity removed to meet specifications or you may have a contaminant in an intermediary product that needs removed to prevent fouling of a downstream process. Activated carbon is used in a variety of forms from a fixed bed as a catalyst, in agricultural processes to powder injection for contaminant removal.
Meet chemicals specifications using activated carbon
Pharmaceuticals
Ultra-pure activated carbons are required in applications ranging from the purification of proteins to the removal of odorous compounds and dark color bodies. Activated carbon is often used as the final polishing step in drug manufacturing. In these applications, Norit activated carbons meet the most stringent quality standards and are chosen most often for their performance and consistency.

Reactivation
When exhausted, thermal reactivation of GAC is generally the best disposal option, as compared to landfill, both from an economical and environmental point of view. Norit offers top-quality pooled carbons for both liquid and vapor phase applications. For certain applications, Norit can provide custom reactivated carbon where your spent carbon is reactivated by Norit and then returned to you.
