Preliminary studies suggest that the conventional method of carbon regeneration at 962° C (1750°F), which was developed for carbon heavily laden with industrial and wastewater organics, may be too harsh a condition for carbon used for drinking water. Regeneration at 542° C (1000° F) may lead to adsorption sites being clogged. At 850° C (1550° F), carbon regeneration restored the carbon capacity for MEK and n‐butanol probes during laboratory studies.
