Description
View of Pittsburgh Coke and Chemical Company plant on Neville Island, looking north from Kennedy Township across the Ohio River. Pittsburgh Coke and Chemical Company, founded in 1942, was the predecessor to Calgon Carbon and was responsible for developing coal-based granular activated carbon for use in military protection masks. By 1960, this carbon was used for water treatment purposes. The company officially changed its name to Pittsburgh Activated Carbon Company in 1965 and was acquired by Calgon Carbon later the same year.
