Granular Activated Carbon for Water Treatment
This granular activated carbon is produced for water treatment applications where consistent adsorption performance and stable hydraulic behavior matter. Its granular form suits fixed-bed contactors, pressure vessels, and open beds used in municipal, industrial, and process water polishing. The particle size distribution supports even flow through the bed while limiting excessive pressure drop.
The specification below reflects the current series range. Batch values are confirmed before quotation, and every shipment is supplied with the corresponding batch documentation.
Typical Applications
Drinking water treatment for taste, odor, and organic removal.
Industrial process water polishing and dechlorination.
Wastewater tertiary treatment and organic load reduction.
Groundwater remediation and VOC removal in fixed-bed systems.
Specification Highlights
Iodine number is specified at 800–1150 mg/g, and methylene blue adsorption is at least 120 mg/g. Hardness reaches at least 45, supporting mechanical durability in backwashed beds. Moisture is controlled at 8% maximum, ash at 10.5% maximum, and bulk density ranges from 0.35 to 0.5 g/cm³. Particle size distribution is held between 200 and 325 mesh, with the series offering a 5.5–7.5 pH range.
These values are reference values from the series range. The exact batch certificate is confirmed before quotation, and customers should verify fit against their specific treatment targets and vessel design.
Selection and Supply
Selecting the right granular activated carbon depends on the target contaminants, contact time, bed depth, and regeneration or replacement strategy. We supply in bulk quantities suited to US water treatment projects and can discuss documentation needs during the inquiry stage. Share your application details and required volume, and our team will confirm the appropriate specification and batch data before quotation.

Production steps for granular activated carbon used in water treatment, from raw material selection to batch verification.
Raw Material Selection
Carbon precursors are selected for consistent density and ash behavior, supporting the specified 10.5% maximum ash and 0.35–0.5 g/cm³ bulk density range.
Carbonization and Activation
Material is carbonized and then activated under controlled conditions to develop the pore structure that delivers iodine number from 800 to 1150 mg/g and methylene blue adsorption of at least 120 mg/g.
Granulation and Sizing
Activated carbon is crushed and graded to a granular form held between 200 and 325 mesh, balancing adsorption access with stable hydraulic flow in fixed beds.
Washing and pH Adjustment
The product is washed and conditioned to a 5.5–7.5 pH range, reducing fines and limiting the risk of pH swings in treated water.
Quality Control and Batch Documentation
Each batch is sampled for moisture, hardness, density, and adsorption indicators. The batch certificate is confirmed before quotation and accompanies the shipment.

Granular Bamboo-Based Activated Carbon for Industrial Air Treatment in Vietnam
Granular bamboo-based activated carbon is made from bamboo charcoal activated at high temperature and formed into granules for use in fixed adsorption beds. This article explains how it captures VOCs, odors and trace pollutants from industrial air streams, why the granular form suits continuous, high-volume air treatment, and what to check before selecting a grade—pollutant type and concentration, air flow, temperature, humidity, dust or oil content, plus granule size, hardness, moisture and ash. It also covers bed design and operation in Vietnam's hot, humid climate, including pretreatment, contact time, breakthrough monitoring and spent carbon handling, and compares bamboo-based grades with coconut shell and coal-based carbons. The practical starting point is a clear description of the process, air flow and pollutants, followed by a specification sheet and a sample test.
