Coal Activated Carbon

Coal Activated carbon is carbon filter media capable of withstanding the abrasion and backwashing. Its internal surface area with optimum pore size facilitates the adsorption of tastes, odors and dissolved organic chemicals from municipal and industrial water supplies. It requires periodic backwashing to eliminate accumulated suspended matter and to re-grade the filter bed. It may be used in either domestic or industrial applications using gravity flow or pressurized filter vessels.

Advantages     

• Removes undesirable taste and odor
• Removes suspended particles and dissolved organic chemicals
• Filter waters having a wide range of pH levels
• Large surface area results in high capacity and efficiency
• Balanced pore structure gives a efficient adsorption range
• Losses due to attrition is minimum
