Benzene
What is Benzene?
Benzene is a colorless, ordorless, flammable liquid, formed through natural and industrial processes. Benzene is also a natural part of crude oil, gasoline and cigarette smoke. Benzene enters drinking water sources through discharge from factories and leaching from landfills.

What are the Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) for Benzene?
The United States Environmental Protection Agency sets a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for contaminants in public drinking water. The MCL is the maximum concentration that is allowed for public water supplies. The current MCL is 0.005 mg/l. Any amount over is considered harmful. 


What are the potential health effects from long-term exposure above the MCL?
After long-term exposure to high levels of Benzene, some may experience anemia and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.

What treatment methods have been proven to be effective for removal or inactivation?
Granular carbon in combination with packed tower aeration has been most effective for the removal of​ Benzene.

What solutions does RainDance Water Systems have to offer?

Benzene can be removed with activated carbon treatment. Approximately 1000 gallons of water containing 570 ppb of benzene can be treated with 0.35 lbs of activated carbon. In other words, approximately 94,300 gallons of water can be treated for every cubic foot of carbon. The benzene must be in contact with the carbon for a minimum of 10 minutes. If the required flow rate is 5 gpm, then approximately 7 Cu ft of carbon is required.
