water treatment

Carbtrol, a privately held corporation, provides engineered systems to meet environmental needs.

Our principals are licensed Professional Engineers who have been active in the environmental field for 20 to 45 years and have a broad knowledge of system design and the application of carbon process equipment.

Carbtrol offers a complete line of wash water treatment and recycle systems using the latest activated carbon adsorption / oxidation technology. Carbtrol has utilized its 30+ years of experience in the treatment and remediation of contaminated groundwater and hazardous waste sites in developing a state-of-the-art treatment and recycle system for the golf and turf maintenance industry. We have an ever-expanding base of installed systems at premier golf facilities across the country.

Proven solution based on over 30 years of experience
U.S. EPA recommended technology for removing herbicides and pesticides from wash water.
High Capacity Treatment System - The Carbtrol system can provide 10-60 GPM of recycled wash water on a continuous basis. Many competitive treatment systems are limited to a flow capacity of 10 gallons per minute (GPM) and 1,000 to 2,000 gallons per day (GPD). The Carbtrol system has no difficulty in handling wash water from a heavy equipment wash day. If a hose is left on or rainwater enters the washing area, the Carbtrol carbon adsorption-oxidation system handles these fluctuations easily.
USEPA Recommended Technology - The USEPA has published a listing of recommended treatment technologies for removing herbicides, insecticides and pesticides (HIP's) from wastewater, which include activated carbon adsorption, chemical precipitation and oxidation. Carbtrol incorporates all of these technologies into our recycle system. Our systems utilize ultra high capacity granular activated carbons, and are designed to support locations requiring zero discharge of pollutants.
Resistant to Upset Conditions - The Carbtrol's Wash Water Recycle System handles changes in waste characteristics and flows such as small spills or leaks of chemicals or fuel, variations in temperature and pH, and temporary system shutdowns. Other treatment technologies may be subject to process upsets under these conditions. Some systems may also experience foaming problems due to soaps, detergents and soil conditioners. Carbtrol's system is not affected by these fluctuations.
Very Low Maintenance - Carbtrol's Washwater Recycle System operates for extended periods without requiring any operator attention. System is designed to allow easy inspection and repairs, if necessary. Typically, maintenance is only one or two hours per week.
