What Does It Remove?
Our granular activated carbon targets the contaminants that matter most — delivering water your customers and communities can trust.
| Contaminant |
Removal Rate |
Why It Matters |
| Methylene Blue Adsorption | ≥ 180–240 mg/g | Indicates capacity to remove large organic molecules, dyes, and color from water |
| Taste & odor compounds | > 95% | Water that smells and tastes fresh |
| VOCs & pesticides | 90 – 99% | Removes harmful industrial chemicals |
| Disinfection by-products | 90 – 98% | Reduces cancer-linked THMs |
| PFAS ("forever chemicals") | 70 – 95% | Tackles today's most talked-about pollutant |
| Pharmaceuticals | 80 – 95% | Catches traces others miss |
| Color & organic matter | 70 – 90% | Crystal-clear water every time |

What It Means for You |
| Particle size | 0.5 – 4.0 mm | Fits standard filter vessels — no retrofitting |
| Surface area | 950 – 1,150 m²/g | More surface = more contaminants captured |
| Iodine number | ≥ 900 mg/g | Top-tier adsorption for small molecules |
| Hardness | ≥ 85% | Lasts longer, less dust, fewer replacements |
| Ash content | ≤ 12% | High purity — minimal residue in your system |
| Moisture | ≤ 5% | You pay for carbon, not water weight |
| pH | 6.5 – 8.5 | Won't alter your water chemistry |
Choose Your Grade
Three grades so you get exactly the right carbon for your application — no compromise, no overspend.

Simple to Install, Easy to Maintain
|
Quick Setup
- Fill your filter column to 0.6 – 3 m depth
- Works with existing rapid gravity or pressure filters
- No special equipment or training needed
|
Low Maintenance
- Water contact time: just 5 – 20 minutes
- Simple backwash keeps it running smoothly
- Lasts 6 – 36 months before replacement
- Can be thermally reactivated and reused
|
Pro tip: Pre-filter sediment before the carbon stage. This small step can double your bed life and save you money.
