Calgon equipment sales increase 26 percent

PITTSBURGH — This year’s third-quarter equipment sales at Calgon Carbon Corp. increased by 26 percent compared with the third quarter of 2007 due to increased demand for carbon adsorption, odor control equipment and ultraviolet (UV) drinking water disinfection systems, according to an October 31 company press release.

Sales by the company's Activated Carbon and Service segment increased 17.8 percent over the third quarter of 2007, due to higher pricing and volume for activated carbon products and services in the environmental water treatment, potable water treatment and food services industries.

The company also reports a net income of $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2008, up $1.4 million from net income in the third quarter of 2007. Net income per share for the third quarter of 2008 was $0.12, two cents above the the third-quarter 2007 figure.
