Water Systems
Water quality can be greatly improved by point source use of graphite sand, such as landfills and animal confinement areas. Specifically, the quality of water benefits from the reduction of nitrogen leachate into creeks, streams, rivers, underwater aquifers, and estuaries. Additionally, there is an increase in food production through the addition of essential minerals that are more abundant in the water, when our AMGS graphite sand is present.
Furthermore, when combined with filtration techniques, graphite sand has the ability to eliminate and break down per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Notably, researchers at Rice University in Texas have created a method that purifies contaminated water, rendering it safe for drinking by utilizing graphite mine tailings.
The application of this approach is also relevant in landfills and areas where animals are kept, as these environments can generate polluted wastewater runoff. This pollution is easily eradicated with the use of our AMGS graphite sand.

While the research is still in its early stages, it is evident that graphite rock sand and dust provide significant advantages for our water systems.
