Each activated carbon installed in a purification or extraction device has its own set of parameters, which vary over time and whose precise adjustment is key to the performance of the device. The parameters are established based on intended application, performance objectives and the expected lifespan of the installation or equipment.

The best way for the user to understand the properties of the product and how it functions in actual practice, to be prepared to deal with any malfunctions and maintain the product in peak condition for optimum productivity over time, is to make the effort to test and measure product performance using reliable, appropriate equipment.

As clients often do not have the desired expertise and experience to determine the best methods for such studies and analyses, PICA has developed a variety of supplementary services.
