Sorbster Selenium Removal System - Case Study

The Sorbster® Selenium Removal System treats selenium contamination in industrial process, ground and wastewater systems. The system combines Sorbster® Se-1, a highly effective adsorbent media for selenite and selenate removal with selected pretreatments to maximize selenium removal. Pretreatments utilizing a silica removal media, Sorbster® Si-1, and low inlet water pH are especially effective in maximizing selenate removal rates by Sorbster® Se-1 and maintaining selenium removal capacities in higher ionic strength waters. The Sorbster® system is recommended for all waters requiring selenium removal that contain 2 or greater mg/L of soluble silica.
