WM Accepted effect: P2(water filter): Removal of certain organic chemicals(eg hydrocarbon related) & non organic(eg chlorine) as absorption filter Granular Activated Carbon(GAC)/Pulverized Activated Carbon(PAC). Often a part of various filter system, Grass roots or biochar movement NGO group promotes use of biochar for water filter by usually offered by “non-mainstream” type or DIY focused suppliers(Wesionline, Nextchar, Terra-Char+),
•
Activated Carbon is a major part in std process of mixed hydrocarbon & other contaminant removal from water, or commercialized for general water filter. Some of larger producers of solid wood biochar might be selling “top grades” to some of “fringe” group high price bidders(Haycarb, Fujian Yuanli, Carbon activated corp+): they don’t value coal or nonsolid wood biomass based ones.
•
WM (only occasionally) disputed effect: O2(Hydroxyl production): Waste water treatment as decomposing element in addition to filtering effect of biochar: (Carbon-terra eu.+), P2(Bioenhancing effect): Some companies claim high grade solid wood biochar based filter actually increase “vitalization” effect of water: (Hitousui, N-t-c jp+): This seem to have wide range of degree depended on raw material for biochar and processing method.
