How It Works

This unique activated carbon is made from bituminous coal through a patented process. Its agglomerated structure ensures rapid wetting without floating particles. By concentrating reactants in our advanced pore system, it promotes key chemical reactions efficiently. Enjoy worry-free reactivation, unlike traditional impregnated carbons that present disposal concerns.

Recommended Operational Conditions

  • Contact Time: Minimum 3 minutes for optimal results.
  • Layer Thickness: 700–800 mm.
  • Filtration Rates:
    • Iron Removal: 6–12 m/h
    • Hydrogen Sulfide Removal: 24 m/h
  • Backwash Expansion: 30–40% of the layer thickness.
