本文对22个正在运行的城市和工业颗粒活性炭（GAC）装置的设计标准、性能和成本数据进行了汇编和总结，这些装置处理水和废水或加工食品和饮料产品。提供了使用这些信息估算GAC供水处理成本的指南。结合之前的报告，本文可用于获取水处理的项目特定成本估算。尽管本文没有提供设计标准，如所需的接触时间、可能的再生频率、活性炭再活化系统标准或活性炭转移指南，但它提供了一种确定水系统设计数据的方法。 （摘要也出现在西班牙语中）包括5个参考文献，表，图。

This article presents a compilation and summary of design criteria, performance, and cost data from 22 operating municipal and industrial granular activated carbon (GAC) installations that treat water and wastewater or process food and beverage products. Guidance for using this information to estimate costs for GAC treatment of water supplies is provided. In conjunction with previous reports, this article may be used to obtain project-specific cost estimates for water treatment. Although this article does not provide design criteria such as required contact time, probable regeneration frequency, activated carbon reactivation system criteria, or activated carbon transfer guidelines, it presents an approach to determining such design data for water systems. (Abstract also appears in Spanish) Includes 5 references, table, figure.
