What are we showing?

Activated carbon is an efficient and cost-effective solution for removing a wide range of contaminants from industrial and municipal wastewater, contaminated ground and groundwater.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers adsorption by activated carbon to be the best available technology for the removal of many contaminants in surface water. Activated carbon aids in the removal of:

• Compounds that cause unwanted taste, odor or color
• Organic materials from decaying plants and other naturally-occurring contaminants
• Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) linked to chlorine and alternative disinfectants
• Algal toxins and cyanotoxins, such as microcystin-LR, cylindrospermopsin and anatoxin-A
• Endocrine-disrupting compounds that can adversely affect hormonal systems
• Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) contamination
• PFOS/PFOA
• Pesticides
• Heavy metals

• GRANULATED ACTIVATED CARBON dechlorinates water, adsorbs organic material and produces a chemical-reducing environment
• GRANULATED ACTIVATED CARBON impregnated with silver salts inhibits the growth of bacteria
• CATALYTIC ACTIVATED CARBON removes chloramines from drinking water
• PELLETIZED (OR EXTRUDED) ACTIVATED CARBON effectively dechlorinates and removes chemicals
• POWDERED ACTIVATED CARBON is used to eliminate trace synthetic chemicals and taste and odor causing chemicals, and for chemical spills or algal blooms

PROCESS WATER TREATMENT

Process water, used as part of industrial processing, includes both potable water, such as that added to juice drinks and consumed, and water such as wash water that is discarded or recycled. Our activated carbon is available in various forms, sizes, and impregnations to best meet many different process water needs.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Waste water includes highly-contaminated water from industrial processing, agricultural chemical use and landfill leachate as well as residential runoff. Wastewater treatment plants must purify the water to acceptable limits before releasing it into lakes, rivers or oceans.

We offer a variety of activated carbon formulations and equipment that target specific contaminants in many different proportions in wastewater including:

• Dissolved organic materials and micropollutants
• Heavy metals
• Hydrocarbons
• Pesticides
• Solvents
• Chlorinated hydrocarbons

DRINKING WATER TREATMENT

Activated carbon adsorption is regarded as one of the best and most common treatment methods for removing impurities from drinking water both at municipal treatment works and in home filter systems.

Granular activated carbon can be used in a filter bed or media through which water passes or powdered activated carbon can be fed into the treatment train and removed along with other solids present from the water treatment.

Activated carbon is used in a broad range of applications for both industrial and residential uses that include drinking water purification, ground and municipal water treatment, power plant and landfill gas emissions, and precious metal recovery. Air purification solutions include VOC removal and odor control.

Considered the world’s most powerful adsorbent, activated carbon’s uses range from everyday water pitcher filters to the recovery of gold from ore in Carbon in Pulp/Carbon in Leach systems

We pride ourselves on our expertise in determining the best value solution for the customer application. Our people and resources are proud to provide industrial solutions – from municipal ground water filter systems in China to VOC/siloxane removal in biogas engines throughout Europe.

Our activated carbon products are used to:

• Remove unwanted compounds like hydrogen sulfide (H2S), siloxanes and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
• Purify gas treatment liquids to reduce foaming and corrosion, increasing the efficiency of plant operations
• Control color and impurities in natural gas liquids (NGLs)
• Remove carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide and elemental metals like mercury from natural gas
• Recover solvents for reuse in industrial applications

Activated carbon is the safest, most efficient technology for the removal of VOCs, airborne chemicals, gaseous pollutants, and other fumes and odors in industrial, municipal or commercial applications. Activated carbon systems also have smaller footprints compared to other odor control technologies and are a cost-effective solution to meeting environmental regulations. Carbon systems are ideally suited for intermittent flow / loading applications, as carbon is immediately effective upon start up and instantaneously responds to changes in odor concentration.

Our powdered activated carbon, when injected into flue gas, reduces harmful emissions to help you meet the newer, more stringent regulations. Vapor phase activated carbon treatment removes contaminants from vapor streams in industrial, municipal or commercial applications. As the vapor stream passes through vessels containing activated carbon, volatile organic compounds are adsorbed by the media.

PARTICULARLY IN GOLD RECOVERY, ACTIVATED CARBON IS THE KEY ELEMENT IN CIC, CIL AND CIP PROCESSES

As a major manufacturer of activated carbon specialized for the gold mining industry and precious metals recovery, we service some of the world's largest mining companies.

Mining operations must keep output high despite ever-diminishing supplies of high-quality ore; plants must control operating costs while maintaining environmental responsibility. Profitability can be crucially affected by rates of recovery, plant performance and reliable supply lines.

High-quality activated carbon is vital to the gold extraction operation. Using activated carbon of optimal hardness minimizes fines and recovers more gold.

By maximizing the efficiency of your gold recovery process, our products and services help maintain your bottom line.

USE THE BEST CARBON FOR THE BEST RECOVERY

The critical test for activated carbon is how well it keeps its properties after months of use and reuse. By using the most durable coconut feedstock, to withstand the rigorous carbonization and activation process, we can consistently manufacture quality activated carbon for gold extraction.

We manufacture products that are used extensively in Carbon in Column (CIC), Carbon in Pulp (CIP) and Carbon in Leach (CIL) applications.

It is essential that these precious metals are recovered in the safest ways. Our activated carbon is made from high-quality coconut shells of exceptional carbonaceous hardness.

The carbonization and activation process imbues it with properties for longevity during the continuous regeneration of gold recovery circuits. A low rate of attrition during the absorption circuit is the gold recovery rate.

Our products meet and surpass gold recovery industry standards. Our modern manufacturing plants provide high-quality activated carbon products for immediate delivery around the world.

Our special range of products benefit the gold recovery process through:

• Accelerated adsorption kinetics
• High capacity for loading gold
• Extremely low soluble gold losses
• Highly prescribed for 'preg robbing' ores
• Exceptional resistance to attrition
• Negligible level of carbon losses
• Uniform activation of grains
• Low rate of adsorption deterioration during regeneration cycles
• Excellent dimensional porous shape prevents screen pegging and blinding
• Minimal head losses
• Optimized adsorptive reaction

Our activated carbon are heavily used in food and beverage industries as they are perfect for removal of  unwanted  colors, tastes and odors.
