Superior garnet for water treatment systems and industrial sandblasting. High specific gravity, exceptional hardness, and versatile performance for multiple applications.
Multi-media filters with garnet solve this by using three layers with different densities:
Top Layer – Anthracite (lightest): Captures large particles
Middle Layer – Sand (medium): Removes medium particles
Bottom Layer – Garnet (heaviest): Polishes out fine particles
Because each media has a different specific gravity, they remain properly layered even after backwashing, allowing the entire filter bed to capture solids.
Garnet is a naturally occurring mineral with high density and exceptional hardness (7.0-7.5 Mohs). These unique properties make it ideal for:
· Municipal drinking water plants
· Industrial process water treatment
· Wastewater polishing filters
· Cooling tower filtration
· Swimming pool filtration
· Multi-media filter configurations
Traditional single-media sand filters capture particles only at the surface, causing rapid clogging, frequent backwashing, and short filter runs.
Multi-media filters with garnet solve this by using three layers with different densities:
WE RUN WITH QUALITY!
At WLCC, we understand the importance of trusted supply and technical expertise. We support our clients with guidance on selecting the right particle size, grade, and quantity to meet project-specific requirements. Whether it is for municipal water plants, industrial processes, or commercial filtration setups, our anthracite helps achieve optimal water quality and operational efficiency.
Garnet’s unique combination of hardness, density, and sharp angular edges makes it the superior choice for abrasive blasting compared to silica sand, slag, or aluminum oxide.
✓ Superior cutting power – Hardness of 7.5 removes coatings and rust faster
✓ Low dust generation – Healthier work environment, better visibility
✓ Minimal surface embedment – Clean profile without contamination
✓ Recyclable – Can be reused 3-5 times, reducing costs
✓ Environmentally safe – Non-toxic, no free silica hazard
✓ Consistent particle size – Uniform finish quality
✓ Less equipment wear – Extends life of blasting equipment

Construction & Maintenance:
Silica sand contains free crystalline silica, which when inhaled causes silicosis – a serious, incurable lung disease. Many countries have banned or restricted silica sand for abrasive blasting.
Garnet contains less than 1% free silica, making it:
Always use appropriate respiratory protection, even with low-dust abrasives.
