INTRODUCTION

What is activated carbon?

Activated carbon is a highly porous adsorption material used to remove contaminants from air, gas, and liquid streams.

Its large internal surface area enables organic compounds, odours, solvents, and other pollutants to be captured within micro pores, making it one of the most effective purification technologies available.

Key characteristics:

Extremely high surface area

Excellent adsorption performance

Suitable for air, gas, and liquid treatment

Available in multiple grades and impregnations

CARBON TYPES

Available carbon types

Virgin activated carbon

General-purpose adsorption applications.

Impregnated activated carbon

Enhanced removal of H₂S, SO₂, Cl₂, NH₃, and specific contaminants.

Catalytic activated carbon

Selective adsorption for specific components under severe circumstances like high humidity.

Pelletised, granular or powder carbon

Available in multiple sizes to solve any distribution challenges.

FAQ

Do you have questions?

What contaminants can activated carbon remove?

Activated carbon is commonly used to remove VOCs, odours, sulphur compounds, solvents, and other organic contaminants.

How do I know when carbon should be replaced?

This depends on the contaminant load and operating conditions. Laboratory testing can help determine remaining adsorption capacity.

 Can activated carbon be regenerated?

Many activated carbon grades can be reactivated and reused depending on the application with exception of impregnated carbon grades.

Which type of activated carbon is suitable for my process?

The optimal carbon depends on the contaminants, concentration levels, operating conditions, and treatment objectives.

Do you supply complete filtration systems?

Yes. We provide both activated carbon media and complete Activated Carbon Filter systems including duct work and fan.
