Engineered activated carbon media available in Granular (GAC), Powdered (PAC), Extruded Pellets (EAC), Acid-Washed, and Chemically Impregnated variations for worldwide industrial supply.
Coconut Shell
High-density, steam-activated coconut shell carbon featuring extensive micropore structure. Superior adsorption for trihalomethanes, chlorine, VOCs, and drinking water purification.
Bituminous Coal
Bituminous and sub-bituminous coal carbon with optimal balanced pore distribution (micropores + mesopores). Outstanding for heavy organics, municipal effluent, and wastewater polishing.
Gold Extraction
Specialized high-hardness coconut carbon with low platelet flake content. Engineered specifically for Carbon-in-Leach (CIL), Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP), and Carbon-in-Column (CIC) gold recovery operations.
Extruded EAC
Cylindrical carbon pellets providing low air-flow resistance, superior mechanical strength, and high CTC adsorption. Primary choice for industrial VOC control, solvent recovery, and gas filtration.
Powdered PAC
High surface area powdered carbon derived from wood, coal, and coconut shell. Rapid adsorption kinetics for batch decolorization in food processing, sugar refining, and seasonal water treatment dosing.
Ultra-Low Ash
Hydrochloric or nitric acid-washed coconut shell carbon. Removes acid-soluble minerals, silicon, and heavy metals. Neutralizes effluent pH spikes in high-purity water, beverage, and dialysate systems.
Catalytic & Chemically Impregnated
Engineered with specialized chemical impregnants (KOH, KI, Silver, Sulphur, Copper) for chemisorption of inorganic gases, mercury vapor, arsine, hydrogen sulfide, and bacteriostatic filtration.
Hardwood Decolorizing
Phosphoric acid or steam-activated hardwood carbon with expansive macropores and mesopores. Optimized for removing high-molecular-weight color bodies, caramel colors, and polyphenols.
Standard sieve distributions compliant with ASTM D2862 and AWWA standards. Customized particle sizing curves available upon request.
