Types of Activated Carbon
Powdered Activated Carbon
Powdered Activated Carbon is made from organic materials with high carbon contents such as wood, lignite and coal. Manufactured by direct activation, powdered Activated Carbons have been specifically developed for the removal of a broad range of organic contaminants from potable, waste and process waters. They have a relatively smaller particle size when compared to granular Activated Carbons and consequently, present a large surface to volume ratio. PAC is used by water treatment plants on either a full time basis or as needed for taste and odor control or removal of organic chemicals. PAC can be fed as a powder using dry feed equipment or as a slurry using metering pumps. Dry feed systems are typically used for smaller dosages and where PAC feed is infrequent.
Acid Washed Activated Carbon
Powdered Acid Washed Activated Carbon is an extremely cost-effective means of maintaining the activity of Activated Carbon. Powdered Acid Washed Activated Carbon,
manufactured out of our experienced proficiency, ensures effective, unhampered and prolonged applications. It is mainly used in the De- Contamination of food, water purification, beverages, and pharmaceutical applications. Acid Washed Activated Carbon is also prominently used for aqua applications like swimming pool purification, etc.
Unwashed Activated Carbon
Powdered Unwashed Activated Carbon finds wide application in liquid phase application and basically used for removing undesired color, smell and other impurities. Our Un-washed Activated Carbon has extremely high and effective diffusion properties and a high degree of micro porosity. Powdered Unwashed Activated Carbon offered by us is an effective De-odouriser, De-Colouriser and holds excellent purification characteristics. Every product of ours is manufactured under strict supervision of our skilled and experienced experts and controlled atmospheric conditions.
Granular Activated Carbon
Granular Activated Carbon has a relatively larger particle size compared to powdered Activated Carbon and consequently, presents a smaller external surface. Diffusion of the adsorbate is thus an important factor.
These carbons are therefore preferred for all absorption of gases and vapors as their rate of diffusion are faster. Granulated carbonsare used for water treatment, deodorization and separation of components of flow system and is used in rapid mix basins. GAC can be either in granular or extruded form.
Extruded Activated Carbon (Pellets)
Our Pellet Activated Carbon is produced from Wood and Coconut Shell by high temperature steam activation and manufactured with suitable binders under stringent quality control. The absorption capacity of PAC makes it ideal for removing variety of contaminants from air and gas streams, recovery of solvents, and for evaporative emissions controls. Extruded Activated Carbon for Vapor Phase can be used for the remediation of vapours generated, the removal of VOCs from the air, soil venting and removal of other organics such as ammonia, sulphur compounds, mercury, and amines.
