Graver Technologies to Present Arsenic Adsorbent Research at AWWA ACE26, Washington D.C.

GLASGOW, DE, June 12, 2026 - Graver Technologies, a leading provider of advanced water filtration media and adsorbent solutions, will present new research on optimizing arsenic adsorbent treatment performance at the AWWA ACE26 in Washington, D.C.

Utilities continue to face increasing pressure to maintain arsenic compliance while controlling operational expenses, with media replacement often representing one of the largest ongoing treatment costs. This upcoming presentation will showcase how utilities can improve arsenic adsorbent bed life, reduce replacement frequency, and enhance treatment efficiency through optimized operating strategies using MetSorb® HMRG arsenic media.

Event Details and Presentation Schedule

The AWWA ACE26 is one of the water industry’s premier international events, bringing together utility leaders, engineers, researchers, and water treatment professionals from around the world. Scheduled to take place from June 21–24, 2026, the conference is expected to attract more than 11,000 participants focused on advancing water treatment technologies, operational strategies, and regulatory compliance.

Experts from Graver Technologies will present on June 24 from 10:45–11:15 AM at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Attendees will gain practical insights into strategies for improving arsenic treatment efficiency, extending media life, and reducing operational costs in arsenic removal water treatment systems.

Presentation Overview: Arsenic Adsorbent Bed-Life Study

The session will present full-scale field results and supporting laboratory analysis focused on improving arsenic adsorbent bed life through intermittent operating strategies using MetSorb® arsenic media.

Key presentation highlights include:

• The presentation will explore how intermittent operation and daily resting cycles can improve the performance of arsenic adsorbent systems used in water treatment applications.
• Full-scale field research shows arsenic adsorbent bed-life increases of up to 50% with even greater gains observed during longer resting periods.
• Supporting laboratory analysis explains how resting periods allow arsenic to diffuse into previously inaccessible active sites within the media, increasing overall adsorption capacity.
• The findings demonstrate how utilities can improve treatment efficiency, extend media replacement intervals, and reduce operating costs without investing in additional infrastructure or capital equipment.
• Real-world case studies from Big Park Water Company will show how optimized operating strategies improved media utilization and enhanced long-term treatment performance in active systems.
