    Global Environmental Commercial Water Solutions, Incorporated, also known as GECOM (GECOM Water Solutions, Inc.), is based in Arizona and dedicated to providing effective and affordable water purification solutions for large municipalities as well as small communities and villages throughout the entire world. We are ultimately providing the most effective, efficient, reliable, non-hazardous, and affordable solutions for removing arsenic, toxic metals, and other harmful substances from aqueous sources. Our systems and processes, utilizing titanium media from Dow Chemical Company called ADSORBSIA™ GTO™ and MetSorb™ HMRG from Graver Technologies, are far ahead of all other methods of arsenic removal in design, simplicity, effectiveness, efficiency, as well as affordability, and we have a remedy for your issues, large and small.

   Our primary focus is arsenic removal, however, our media is naturally very effective in the removal of other harmful metals and substances. Arsenic is a semi-metal element in the periodic table. It is odorless and tasteless. It is a naturally occurring substance and occurs in several forms, often in compounds with other chemical elements. Arsenic and all of its compounds are poisonous, however, the toxicity varies. For example, inorganic arsenic - arsenic combined with oxygen, chlorine or sulfur is thought to be the most toxic, while most organic forms of arsenic are relatively less toxic.

   In its solid state arsenic appears as a silver-gray, brittle semi-metal that tarnishes in the air. It is about the 52nd most common chemical element on the earth. It enters drinking water supplies from natural deposits in the earth or from agricultural and industrial practices.

   Non-cancer effects can include thickening and discoloration of the skin, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting; diarrhea; numbness in hands and feet; partial paralysis; and blindness. Arsenic has been linked to cancer of the bladder, lungs, skin, kidney, nasal passages, liver, and prostate.

   The EPA has set the arsenic standard for drinking water at .010 parts per million (10 parts per billion) to protect consumers served by public water systems from the effects of long-term, chronic exposure to arsenic. Water systems were to be in compliance with this standard by January 23, 2006, providing additional protection to an estimated 13 million Americans. Arsenic and other problematical issues with your water will be a thing of the past when using GECOM's efficient, reliable, and proven systems for water purification. Our revolutionary media, can and will replace other existing medias because of its superior effectiveness, longevity, pricing, and best of all, it is classified as non-hazardous when it is removed for replacement and disposal, therefore will not break down and allow the arsenic to be released into and pollute landfills, soil or groundwater as with iron based medias.

   Titanium media consist of granular titanium oxide with strong affinity for arsenic, lead, and other heavy metals. This unique media is designed for non-regen-erative applications. The inherently high adsorptive capacity of the titanium oxide based technology has been formulated into a mechanically stable granulation suitable for use in a broad range of potable water applications. When exhausted, it is removed from the vessel and replaced with new media. Spent media from arsenic loading tests have been shown to pass both the TCLP and CA WET extraction protocols and is classified as non-hazardous.
