Manufacturing
Activated carbon manufacturing involves carbonization, activation, and for impregnation of the final product to meet specific needs.
Activated carbon is produced by high temperature heating carbon-rich materials like coconut shells in the absence of air to create a porous structure.
Activated Carbon process flow chart
01
Coconut Shell raw material
02
Carbonizing coconut shell into coconut charcoal as Raw material for activation
03
Raw Material (Coconut Shell Charcoal)
04
Rotary charcoal Sieving
05
Activation with super-heated steam at a temperature of 800-1000 degrees Celsius
06
Granular activated carbon (highly porous charcoal) process from coconut shells have high surface area due the many microscopic pores created during the activation process
07
Activated carbon is then segregated into the required particle sizes for various applications
08
All products are tested according to ASTM standards
09
All products can be packed into 500kg or 25kg bags
