Applications in Chad
The Lake Chad Basin’s oil-field operations and the country’s rapid urbanisation create steady demand for industrial and potable-water GAC. Here are the most common applications we supply.
Oil-Field Produced Water Treatment
Treating produced water from Lake Chad Basin oil operations — removing residual hydrocarbons, BTEX compounds, and organic contaminants before disposal or reuse.
Municipal & Camp Potable Water
Fixed-bed GAC filters providing safe drinking water at remote oilfield camps, mining sites, and urban water-treatment facilities across N'Djamena and the Sahel interior.
Industrial VOC Control
Pellet and granular coal-based carbon for air-phase VOC adsorption at oil-surface processing facilities, generators, and chemical handling stations.
Mining & Industrial Effluent
GAC polishing for industrial effluent from mining and processing operations, removing residual contaminants to meet discharge standards.

Carbon Specifications for Chad
Chad’s primary carbon needs are oil-field produced water treatment and potable supply at remote inland sites. Long change-out intervals and harsh overland transit demand carbon that holds its hardness and activity in sealed bags across weeks of road transport.
| Parameter | Value | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Iodine Number | ≥900 mg/g | Adequate loading capacity for oil-field produced water and municipal purification |
| Ball-Pan Hardness | ≥95% | Survives extended EBCT in fixed-bed vessels with infrequent change-outs |
| Mesh Size | 8×16 / 8×30 | 8×16 for deep fixed-bed vessels; 8×30 for finer contact polishing |
| CTC Activity | ≥50% | Effective VOC and solvent vapour control around oil-field surface facilities |
| Ash Content | <6% | Lower ash reduces calcium scaling in hard Saharan groundwater |
| Moisture | <5% | Shipped sealed — critical for long inland transit from Douala/Port Sudan |
Shipping Activated Carbon to Chad
Gateway Port: Douala
Chad-bound sea freight transits through Douala, Cameroon — the closest container port. Sea transit from Ningbo is 28–35 days; bonded transit clearance through Cameroon adds 7–14 days.
Overland to N’Djamena
Douala to N’Djamena is roughly 1,800 km by road. The haul takes 5–12 days depending on road conditions and border crossings. PE-lined bags handle the humidity and dust of that leg.
Packaging & Documentation
500 kg FIBC jumbo bags or 25 kg PP bags, both PE-lined. Every shipment ships with batch COA, invoice, packing list, and BL. SGS or BV inspection on request before container sealing.

Activated Carbon for Chad — FAQ
What activated carbon grade suits oil-field produced water treatment in Chad?
Coal-based GAC 8×16 or 8×30 mesh with iodine ≥900 mg/g and hardness ≥95% is the standard choice for oil-field produced water. The higher ash content of coal carbon is acceptable here; what matters is consistent bed performance across the long change-out intervals typical at remote Lake Chad Basin sites.
How do you ship activated carbon to Chad — an inland country?
Chad has no seaport. Shipments arrive by sea to Douala (Cameroon) or, for eastern Chad, via Port Sudan, then transit overland. Total door-to-site lead time from Chinese ports is 50–70 days depending on the overland route and customs clearance pace at the border. We package in 500 kg jumbo bags (PE-lined) to survive the extended humidity exposure on the truck leg.
What packaging is used for long inland transit to Chad?
500 kg FIBC jumbo bags with PE inner liner, heat-sealed after filling. The inner liner protects against the moisture and dust encountered during the multi-day overland haul from Douala or Port Sudan. We can also supply 25 kg PP woven bags for smaller orders where bulk jumbo handling is not available at the destination.
Can you supply carbon for remote camp drinking-water systems?
Yes. Small fixed-bed GAC filters for camp potable water are a common use case. We supply 8×30 coconut shell carbon — low taste/odour impact — in 25 kg bags to suit smaller filter vessels. Minimum order for camp supply projects is 1 ton.
What is the pricing for activated carbon delivered to Chad?
FOB Ningbo: coal-based GAC 8×16 starts at $1,200–$1,800/ton; coconut shell 8×30 at $2,000–$2,600/ton. Inland freight from Douala to N'Djamena adds roughly $180–$280/ton depending on routing and load consolidation. We can quote CIF Douala or EXW factory — your choice.
