Powdered Activated Carbon is made from high quality coal, wood or coconut shell raw material. Its high activity and surface area make it ideal for many purification applications, including the treatment of potable water and the removal of taste, odor and organic contaminants, etc.
20Powdered Activated Carbon is similar to Granular Activated Carbon as it is made from high quality coal, wood or coconut shell raw material. Powdered Activated Carbon is typically considered to have particles less than U.S standard 80 mesh size, which makes it ideal for water treatment. Powdered Activated Carbon is a reliable, economical water treatment option for taste and odor control and removal of organic compounds. The use of Powdered Activated Carbon is beneficial economically and environmentally, since it reduces operating costs, produces minimal waste sludge, allows for the conservation of resources, and provides superior water quality.
Powdered Activated Carbon can be used by water treatment plants on either a regular basis or as needed by the season for taste, color and odor control or removal of organic chemicals. It is also built into air purification systems to adsorb volatile compounds and heavy metals, like mercury. Our activated carbon products are heavily used in the food and beverage industries as they are ideal for the removal of unwanted colors, tastes, and odors. Powdered Activated Carbon is effective in the removal of haze, odor, and decolorization in wine, modification of the taste of beer, and the purification and decolorization of gelatin. It is also utilized in purification and quality control of several other food and beverage products.
