## Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)

GAC is a porous adsorption material produced from coconut shell, coal or wood through carbonization and activation. Its granular form delivers low pressure drop, easy handling and long service life in fixed-bed systems.

Sizes: 8×30 · 12×40 · 20×50
Iodine: 800–1100 mg/g
Surface area: 900–1200 m²/g
Base: Coal · Coconut · Wood

Overview

## Engineered for Water & Air Treatment

Granular activated carbon removes organic contaminants, chlorine, chloramine, TOC and odour compounds through physical adsorption. Our GAC range includes standard, acid-washed, reactivated and chloramine-optimized grades aligned with NSF, EN and GB standards.

For gold recovery, coconut-shell GAC offers the hardness and micro-porosity required in CIP/CIL circuits, maintaining high activity over many regeneration cycles.

- ✓High mechanical hardness for low attrition in service

- ✓Multiple mesh cuts with tight particle-size control

- ✓Acid-washed and de-ashed options for high-purity duty

- ✓COA with every batch; NSF/EN/GB alignment on request

### Typical Applications

- Drinking water treatment

- Municipal & industrial wastewater

- Food & beverage processing

- Gold recovery (CIP/CIL)

- TOC / chloramine removal

- RO pre-treatment & dechlorination

### Packaging

- 25 kg PP bags

- 500 kg jumbo bags

- Drums / custom packing
