Applications

Gold Recovery

Gold Recovery

Activated carbon for CIP, CIL, and CIC gold recovery circuits. Engineered for high hardness, low attrition, fast adsorption kinetics, and reliable gold-loading performance.

Water Purification

Water Purification

Coconut shell activated carbon for drinking water, process water, and wastewater polishing. Designed to remove chlorine, taste, odour, colour, dissolved organics, and trace contaminants with consistent bed performance.

Waste Water & Effluent Treatment

Waste Water & Effluent Treatment

High-hardness activated carbon for COD/BOD reduction and organic contaminant polishing. Precision sizing maintains lower pressure drop and extends operating life.

Ultra-Pure & Semiconductor Water

Ultra-Pure & Semiconductor Water

High-purity, low-extractable carbon for TOC control and oxidant protection in sensitive water systems. Produced with controlled washing and acid-washing options.

Cigarette Filter

Cigarette Filter

Consistent, low-dust coconut shell activated carbon for cigarette filter and specialty vapor-phase filter media applications, engineered for clean handling, controlled particle size and reliable adsorption performance.

Personal Protection

Personal Protection

High-performance coconut shell activated carbon for personal protection filter media, respirator cartridges and specialty PPE systems, designed for low dust, strong mechanical integrity and application-specific adsorption requirements.

Air & Gas Filtration

Air & Gas Filtration

Activated carbon for VOC capture, odour control, solvent vapour adsorption, and industrial exhaust treatment. Engineered for high activity, low dust, stable pressure drop, and reliable vapour-phase performance.

Food & Beverage Processing

Food & Beverage Processing

Activated carbon for decolourisation, deodorisation, and impurity removal in sugar, edible oil, glucose, beverages, fermentation, and food ingredient processing. Built for controlled ash, pH, and purity-sensitive applications.

Pharma & Personal Care

Pharma & Personal Care

Activated carbon for purification, colour removal, odour control, and impurity management in pharma processes. Engineered for controlled ash, consistent quality, and application-specific documentation.

Energy/Biogas Purification

Energy/Biogas Purification

Activated carbon solutions for hydrocarbon polishing, condensate treatment, amine and glycol protection, acid gas polishing, biogas upgrading, and mercury-sensitive streams. Available in granular, pelletized, and impregnated formats.

OEM Filters & Cartridges

OEM Filters & Cartridges

Consistent GAC, PAC, and carbon block feedstock for filter cartridge manufacturers, purifier brands, and private-label media suppliers. Supported with mesh control, export packing, documentation, and batch-wise COA.

Why Carbonmax

The Six Point precision

  • Uniform activation — rotary kilns with automated steam profiling lock in consistent CTC, iodine, and surface-area targets.
  • Circular feedstock — 100% coconut shells cut lifecycle CO₂ by 30%.
  • Built to last — >98% hardness slashes fines and carbon loss in gold circuits and high-flow filters.
  • Tight particle control — advanced sieving keeps mesh uniform, lowers dust, and speeds adsorption.
  • Lab-verified quality — every lot tested to ASTM / AWWA / EN, shipped with a batch COA and optional third-party report.
  • Customisation — mesh, surface area, CTC, pH, acid-wash, or impregnation, made to specifications.
