granular activated carbon For Sewage Treatment

Coal-based granular activated carbon For Sewage Treatment

Product Name: Coal-Based Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
Raw Material: Premium Bituminous Coal / Anthracite
Keywords: Coal GAC, Sewage Treatment Carbon, Municipal Wastewater, Industrial Effluent, BOD/COD Reduction, Biological Activated Carbon (BAC)

Product Overview

Optimize your water treatment plant’s performance with our Coal-Based Granular Activated Carbon. Engineered for high durability and adsorption efficiency, this carbon is the industry standard for municipal sewage treatment and complex industrial wastewater applications.
Featuring a balanced pore structure rich in mesopores (2–50nm), it is specifically designed to capture large organic molecules, colloids, and residual contaminants that smaller-pore carbons miss. Its exceptional mechanical strength makes it ideal for deep-bed filters and fluidized beds, ensuring long service life even under rigorous backwashing conditions.

Key Advantages

  • Optimized Mesopore Structure: The specific pore distribution is tailored to adsorb macromolecules (humic acids, proteins) and reduce COD/BOD levels effectively.
  • Superior Mechanical Strength: High hardness (>95%) prevents crushing and attrition during backwashing, reducing carbon loss and operational costs.
  • Biological Activated Carbon (BAC) Ready: The surface chemistry promotes the rapid growth of beneficial biofilms, enabling simultaneous adsorption and biological degradation of ammonia and organics.
  • Cost-Effective Performance: Offers a superior balance of price and performance compared to coconut shell carbon for large-volume water treatment.

Applications

  1. Municipal Sewage Treatment (Tertiary Stage):
    Used as a polishing step to remove residual COD, BOD, and suspended solids from secondary effluent, ensuring the final discharge meets strict environmental standards.
  2. Industrial Wastewater Treatment:
    Highly effective in treating complex effluents from textile, petrochemical, and paper industries, removing specific pollutants like dyes, phenols, and lignin.
  3. Biological Activated Carbon (BAC) Filters:
    Serves as a carrier for microorganisms in advanced water reuse systems (like the O₃+BAC process), combining physical adsorption with biological oxidation to remove ammonia nitrogen and biodegradable organics.
  4. Odor Control:
    Installed in air scrubbers to adsorb foul-smelling gases (H₂S, Mercaptans) generated during the sewage treatment process.
  5. Water Reuse & Reclamation:
    Essential for treating wastewater for non-potable reuse (irrigation, cooling towers) by removing trace organic contaminants and ensuring clarity.

Packaging & Storage

  • Packaging: 25kg or 500kg woven bags with PE liners. Bulk ton bags available for large plant requirements.
