Frequently Asked Questions
Granular activated carbon (GAC) has larger particle sizes (0.2-5mm) suitable for fixed-bed systems, while powdered activated carbon (PAC) is fine powder (<0.18mm) used in batch treatment. GAC can be regenerated; PAC typically cannot.
Mesh size depends on your application. Larger mesh (4x8, 8x16) offers lower pressure drop and longer service life. Smaller mesh (12x40, 20x50) provides faster adsorption kinetics but higher pressure drop. Contact us for recommendations.
Yes, GAC can be thermally regenerated 5-10 times depending on the application. Regeneration restores 80-95% of original adsorption capacity, significantly reducing operating costs.
Service life depends on contaminant concentration and flow rate. In drinking water treatment, GAC typically lasts 1-3 years. In industrial applications, it may be 6-18 months. Regular monitoring helps optimize change-out schedules.
Standard MOQ is 1 metric ton. For sample evaluation, we can provide smaller quantities. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
