Activated Carbon – High-Performance Filtration Media
Premium Water Treatment & Purification | ANSI/AWWA B100-09 | ASTM E11 Certified
High-performance activated carbon filtration media engineered for removal of chlorine, VOCs, taste, odor, and organic contaminants from municipal and industrial water systems.
How Activated Carbon Works – Adsorption Technology
Activated carbon removes contaminants through adsorption – a process where dissolved impurities chemically bond to the carbon surface. Unlike mechanical filtration that traps particles, adsorption captures molecular-level contaminants that would otherwise pass through conventional filters.
>Product Overview ?
Water Treatment Activated Carbon Media is manufactured to meet strict ANSI/AWWA B100-09 and ASTM E11 standards for water purification applications. This highly porous carbonaceous material utilizes chemical adsorption to effectively remove chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), taste, odor, sediment, and organic impurities from water.
Activated carbon works seamlessly in combination with other filtration media including Silica Sand, Anthracite, Gravel, Garnet, Pumice, and Birm for comprehensive water treatment solutions.

Raw Material Sources
Activated carbon is produced from high-carbon organic materials through a controlled activation process:
Primary Sources:
- Coconut shells – Hardest, highest density, longest lifespan
- Coal – Versatile, cost-effective for large installations
Each raw material produces carbon with distinct characteristics suited to specific water treatment requirements.
Available Forms & Sizes
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
- 8×30 mesh – General water treatment, depth filtration
- 12×40 mesh – Drinking water, higher flow applications
- Custom sizes – Specific system requirements
Multi-Media Filter Integration
Activated carbon works synergistically with other media:
Typical Configuration:
- Top Layer: Activated Carbon – Chlorine, VOC, taste/odor removal
- Middle Layer: Anthracite or Sand – Suspended solids filtration
- Bottom Layer: Gravel – Support and drainage
This layered approach provides comprehensive treatment addressing both particulate and dissolved contaminants.
