Granular Activated
Carbon
CarbonMax manufactures coconut shell–based Granular Activated Carbon in standard and custom mesh sizes for water, air, gold recovery, food, pharma, and industrial purification applications.
High-hardness carbon for fixed-bed purification
GAC is designed for fixed-bed adsorption systems where flow stability, high surface area, mechanical strength, and long service life matter. Its porous structure captures contaminants as liquids or gases pass through the carbon bed, making it suitable for continuous purification and media replacement programs.
Where GAC Performs
CarbonMax GAC supports the removal of:
- Taste and odour compounds
- Natural organic matter
- Volatile organic compounds
- Synthetic organic compounds
- Disinfection by-product precursors
- Colour, trace organics, and process impurities
Coconut shell GAC offers strong microporosity, high hardness, and low attrition—making it well suited for demanding water, air, and gold recovery systems.
Why CarbonMax GAC
- 100% coconut shell feedstock for high-density, high-hardness carbon
- Controlled activation for consistent iodine, CTC, and surface area performance
- Tight particle size distribution for stable pressure drop and lower dust load
- Base and acid-washed options for application-specific purity requirements
- Batch-wise COA and technical documentation with every approved supply program
- Custom mesh support for OEM, EPC, distributor, and process-specific needs
