This guide covers practical points for plant operators and procurement teams evaluating chemical supply in India.
Types of Activated Carbon for Water Treatment
Coal-based activated carbon (bituminous coal) — most common for municipal and industrial water treatment, high surface area (900–1100 m²/g).
Coconut shell activated carbon — harder, lower ash, preferred for drinking water, pharmaceutical and food-grade applications.
Granular activated carbon (GAC, 8×30 mesh) for fixed-bed filters; powdered activated carbon (PAC, 200 mesh) for batch treatment.
Impregnated carbon (silver, KMnO4) for specialised applications including bacteria control and hydrogen sulphide removal.
Applications and Performance Parameters
Chlorine and chloramine removal in pretreatment before RO membranes — protects polyamide membranes from oxidant damage.
Taste, odour and colour removal in municipal drinking water treatment and bottled water production.
Organic contaminant removal (pesticides, THM precursors, pharmaceutical residues) in tertiary treatment.
Replace GAC when iodine number drops below 600 mg/g or breakthrough of target contaminants is detected in effluent.
Sourcing and Quality Verification
Key quality parameters: iodine number, ash content, moisture, bulk density and mesh size distribution.
Request coconut shell or coal-based COA depending on application — food-grade requires lower ash and heavy metal limits.
Standard packaging: 25 kg bags; bulk orders available in 500 kg jumbo bags for large filter installations.
Source from suppliers offering multiple mesh sizes, reactivation guidance and consistent batch quality for filter performance.
