Powdered Activated
Carbon (PAC)
Ultra-fine carbon powder for rapid adsorption and batch processes.
Product Overview
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) features ultra-fine particle sizes (typically 80–90% passing 200 mesh) that provide rapid adsorption kinetics. PAC is typically added directly to water or process liquids in batch or continuous-flow systems, offering immediate contaminant removal without the need for large fixed-bed equipment.
Available in coal-based, coconut shell-based, and wood-based varieties, our PAC products are designed for specific applications ranging from emergency spill response to routine industrial water treatment. Wood-based PAC excels in decolorization, while coal-based PAC offers superior performance for taste and odor removal.
Key Applications
- Municipal water treatment
- Emergency contaminant removal
- Sugar decolorization
- Pharmaceutical purification
- Industrial wastewater
- Flue gas injection (ACI)
- Oil & grease removal
- Dioxin/furan removal
