Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)

What is Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)?

Granular Activated Carbon, commonly known as GAC, is a form of activated carbon with particles ranging from 0.2 mm to 5 mm in size. Its large surface area, characterized by a network of microscopic pores, makes it exceptionally effective at adsorbing contaminants from liquids and gases. GAC is typically produced from carbon-rich organic materials like bituminous coal, coconut shells, or specific types of wood. Each raw material imparts unique physical properties to the GAC, influencing its performance in different applications.

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC): Unleash Efficiency

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), with its large particle size ensuring stellar flow rates and low-pressure drops, is a versatile solution for balancing adsorption capacity and hydraulic performance. Boasting high adsorption efficiency for gas and liquid streams, GAC stands out for its easy handling, replacement convenience, and cost-effective regeneration, making it an ideal choice. Versatility shines as it finds applications in water and wastewater treatment, air purification, food and beverage processing, and odor removal.

Key Advantages of GAC

  • High Adsorption Capacity:  GAC’s large surface area and numerous pores enable its efficient adsorption of contaminants from both gas and liquid streams.
  • Easy Handling and Regeneration: GAC’s granular structure makes it easy to handle and replace within filtration systems. Moreover, it can be thermally reactivated, allowing repeated use and providing a cost-effective, environmentally friendly solution. The regeneration process helps remove adsorbed contaminants, making the GAC reusable and further reducing costs.
  • Versatile Applications: GAC is usable for water and wastewater treatment, air purification, food and beverage processing, and removal of organic compounds and odors, among other processes.
