Drinking, process and wastewater polishing
Water Treatment
Activated carbon removes dissolved organics, residual chlorine, taste, odor and selected micropollutants. Granular beds provide continuous polishing, while powdered carbon supports flexible dosing during seasonal or variable loads.

Product parameters
Activated carbon selection table.
Recommended starting ranges for technical discussion. Final values depend on the stream, test method and buyer specification.
| Carbon option | Iodine value | Typical size | Suitable conditions | Selection effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coconut shell GAC | 900–1200 mg/g | 8×30 / 12×40 mesh | Drinking and process water | Micropore adsorption; high hardness |
| Coal-based GAC | 800–1000 mg/g | 8×30 mesh | Industrial water and wastewater | Broad pore distribution |
| Nutshell GAC | 900–1100 mg/g | 8×30 / 20×40 mesh | Fixed-bed polishing | Durable granular media |
| Powdered carbon | 700–1000 mg/g | 200 mesh typical | Batch or emergency dosing | Fast dispersion and flexible dose |

Frequently asked questions
Technical answers for buyers.
Need a faster review? Send the available process data with your inquiry.
Yes. Share your process data and target limits so we can prepare a relevant evaluation sample. Freight is normally paid by the buyer.
Iodine value, particle size, strength, moisture and packing can be discussed against the equipment and required outlet quality.
Please provide the stream composition, target contaminants, inlet and outlet limits, flow, temperature, humidity or pH, contact time and current equipment.
Service life depends on actual contaminant loading, competing compounds and operating conditions. Pilot testing and breakthrough monitoring provide the most reliable estimate.
