Solution Approach
RawSource supplies the base chemicals that go into these programs. We can help with product selection, grade matching, and sourcing from multiple origins for supply security.
Typical Treatment Workflow
1
Water & System Assessment
Characterize the water and the system — hardness, alkalinity, pH, TDS/conductivity, microbial load, and the metallurgy and temperatures of the equipment being protected.
2
Program & Chemistry Selection
Match coagulants, flocculants, scale and corrosion inhibitors, biocides, or pH adjusters to the water profile and discharge limits, factoring compatibility with any existing program.
3
Jar Testing & Dosing
Confirm coagulant and flocculant dose and feed point by jar test, set inhibitor and biocide treat rates, and size packaging (drums, totes, bulk) to consumption.
4
Monitoring & Control
Track residuals, turbidity, ORP, corrosion coupons, and effluent compliance, adjusting chemistry and dose as feedwater and load change.

Catalytic / acid-washed carbon
CAS 7440-44-0
Mineral Fillers & Pigments
Color / Pigmentation
1362 (CARBON, ACTIVATED) · Class Surface-modified carbon catalyzes oxidation of hydrogen sulfide and chloramine that ordinary GAC removes poorly; acid washing lowers ash and metal leaching
Melting Point: Melting point equals > 3500 °C Boiling Point: Sublimes at 3642 °C; triple point (graphite-liq… Density: The apparent density of beech charcoal is 0.45 …
