range of granular activated carbons designed for reduction of chlorine and organic contaminants dissolved in water for civil and industrial purpose;
- manufactured from select grades of bituminous (or vegetal origin) coal, with a thermal activation process at strictly controlled temperature to obtain a large surface area and a porous structure allowing the adsorption of low and high molecular weight organic compounds;
- high density activated carbons with good resistance to the attrition and mechanical stocks;
- activated carbon require periodic backwashing to eliminate accumulated suspended matters and to regrade the filter bed;
- a good backwashing of the AC filter bed of the start-up is required.
