Chemviron Carbon, the European operating group of Calgon Carbon Corporation, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony in March to celebrate the grand opening of its new reactivation plant, located in Dudley Borough, Tipton, UK. Chemviron Carbon acquired the facility in 2011. The plant, which is dedicated to the reactivation of spent carbon used in drinking water and food-grade applications, underwent a major upgrade to increase its capacity and efficiency from 5,800 to 10,000 tons per year of reactivated carbon.
