Granular Activated Carbon
High-capacity granular carbon designed for drinking water, wastewater, food processing and gold recovery — available in multiple mesh sizes and three feedstock bases.
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.
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
