Frequently Asked Questions
We offer standard granular mesh sizes including 4x8, 8x30, 12x40, and 20x50. Powdered (200 mesh) and pellet forms (1.5mm, 3mm, 4mm) are also available. Contact us for custom specifications.
Our standard MOQ is 1 metric ton. For sample evaluation, we can provide small quantities. Contact us to discuss your needs.
Coal-based carbon has a more balanced pore distribution (micro + mesopores), making it more versatile and cost-effective for large-scale water treatment. Coconut shell carbon has a denser micropore structure, better suited for high-purity applications like gold recovery and drinking water.
Yes. Our drinking water grades meet NSF/ANSI 61 and AWWA B604 standards. They are widely used in municipal water treatment plants worldwide.
Standard orders are ready to ship within 7-15 business days. We maintain stock of popular grades for faster turnaround.
Yes. Coal-based granular activated carbon can be thermally regenerated multiple times, making it a cost-effective choice for large-scale continuous operations.
