What is Activated Carbon?

• Crude form of graphite - composed of platelets
• Very random structure
• Highly porous
• Has the strongest physical adsorption forces or the highest volume of adsorbing porosity of any material known to mankind

Manufacturing Process

Starting material - Bituminous Coal

• Large internal surface structure
• High hardness (mechanical properties)
• High resistances to abrasion

Agglomerated Manufacturing Process

• Create transport pore structure
• Achieve uniform structure throughout the granular
• Enhance adsorption time

Quality Control

• ISO9002 Certification of all production & reactivation facilities
• Comprehensive laboratories
• Every 10,000 pound batch of virgin activated carbon is tested & approved to a detailed specification
• Full traceability with retained samples
• Food and industrial grade operations including bulk tankers are physically separated
• All food grade bulk tankers are cleaned and certified after each delivery
