Why Yellow Water Kept Coming Back — and How We Fixed It
A water filter manufacturer in Turkey came to us with three complaints: bulk density too high (more tons per vessel fill), filtered water coming out yellow and black with bad odour, and unstable quality batch to batch.
The common answer is iron and ash. That’s only part of the story. The real culprit was coal gas and coal tar residues left in the raw coal during carbonisation — they sit in the pore structure and bleed into water in service. We changed the production process to extract those residues before carbonisation.
One process change fixed both problems simultaneously: cleaner pore structure means lower bulk density and no leaching. Three months on, this customer is at 3 × 40HQ per month, 28 tons per container, CIF Mersin at 15-day intervals.

Water treatment drives the primary demand, but Turkey’s textile and food sectors are significant buyers too. We match grade to application.
Water Treatment Filters
Coal-based GAC, low bulk density, de-dusted
Turkey's water filter manufacturers demand carbon with low bulk density (fewer tons per vessel fill), low iron (no yellow water) and consistent quality container to container. We resolved exactly this problem for a Turkish filter OEM now running 3 × 40HQ per month.
Municipal Drinking Water
Coal or coconut GAC, 8×30 mesh, iodine ≥900
Municipal waterworks across Turkey use granular activated carbon for dechlorination, taste-and-odour removal and organic micropollutant reduction. Coal-based GAC 8×30 is the standard filter grade for large municipal beds.
Textile & Dye Wastewater
GAC 4×8, high phenol value, high surface area
İstanbul and İzmir textile belts generate dye-laden effluent requiring high-surface-area GAC with strong affinity for large organic molecules. We supply coal-based 4×8 with phenol value ≥160 mg/g for demanding colour removal duties.
Food & Beverage Decolourisation
Powdered activated carbon (PAC), 200 mesh, CTC ≥60%
Turkey is one of the world's top sugar and edible-oil producers. PAC grades for decolourisation of sugar liquor, edible oil and beverage streams require food-grade certification, low ash and consistent CTC values.

Turkey Supplier FAQ
Do you ship activated carbon to Turkey?
Yes. We ship factory-direct to Turkey, with delivery to Mersin, İzmir and Istanbul (Ambarlı). We supply coal-based GAC, coconut shell GAC and PAC for water treatment, textile wastewater and food processing.
Why was the Turkish customer's filtered water turning yellow?
The root cause was coal tar and coal gas residues left in the raw coal during carbonisation — not just high iron or high ash. We changed the production process to extract those residues before carbonisation. After the process change the water ran clear, bulk density dropped and quality held consistent container to container.
What is the transit time from China to Mersin, Turkey?
Typically 12–18 days sea freight from Tianjin to Mersin. CIF terms available so freight and arrival timing sits with us.
What is the import duty on activated carbon in Turkey?
HS Code 3802.10 (activated carbon) carries a 0% import duty into Turkey under WTO MFN rate. VAT applies at the standard Turkish rate on import.
What certifications do your shipments carry?
Every shipment comes with a batch COA covering iodine number, bulk density, ash, moisture, hardness and pH. SGS pre-shipment inspection on request. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, NSF/ANSI 61, Halal and Kosher certificates available.
