Powdered Activated
Carbon
CarbonMax manufactures coconut shell–based powdered activated carbon in standard and custom particle sizes for water treatment, wastewater polishing, food processing, decolourisation, carbon block manufacturing, and industrial purification.
Fast-contact carbon for liquid-phase purification
PAC has a fine particle structure that provides a high surface-area-to-volume ratio. This makes it suitable for rapid adsorption in batch dosing, contact tanks, rapid mix basins, clarifiers, gravity filters, and process polishing systems.
Where PAC Performs
CarbonMax PAC supports:
- Dechlorination and chloramine reduction
- Organic contaminant removal
- Taste and odour control
- Disinfection by-product reduction
- Pesticide and trace contaminant removal
- Drinking water treatment
- Groundwater remediation
- Wastewater treatment
- Carbon block and cartridge manufacturing
- Food and beverage decolourisation

Production & Quality Capability
CarbonMax PAC is produced through controlled size reduction and classification systems designed for particle consistency and clean handling. Quality checks can include iodine value, ash, moisture, pH, particle size distribution, methylene blue response, filtration behaviour, and application-specific parameters.
Capability stack includes:
- Micro crushing
- Particle classification
- Powder collection
- Dust extraction
- In-house quality checks
- Particle-size analysis support
