20kg General Grade Granular Activate Carbon

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) locally manufactured in South Africa from locally grown macadamia nut shells through steam activation. The resulting high-density carbon structure with a developed bimodal meso- and micro- porous structure allows for the adsorption of a range of molecular sizes, making this carbon ideal for a broad range of water treatment applications. Due to this unique structure, this medium grade GAC bridges the gap between conventional coal and coconut carbons and may be used as an effective alternative to either. This product is ideally suited for general purpose water treatment applications.
