This page describes the process for design and operation of decentralized small community and household water treatment systems utilizing biochar as a sustainably and locally generated adsorbent for removal of chemical contaminants.
While the page is being built, please see the Aqueous Solutions website, www.aqsolutions.org, for downloadable open source materials (documents and videos) describing the generation of low-cost, enhanced water filter biochar, and the integration of biochar adsorption units in multi-barrier off-grid water treatment systems.
