For the third quarter of 2016, sales for Calgon Carbon Corporation’s Activated Carbon and Service segment declined to $112.5 million, as compared to $121.3 million for the same period a year ago. This decline was primarily due to lower sales of powdered activated carbon for removing mercury from North American coal-fired, power-plant emissions, as well as lower environmental water market sales. These declines were partially offset by higher potable water market sales (particularly in North America) and higher respirator and metal recovery Specialty Carbon market sales.
