ACTIVATED CARBON :-

Activated Carbon is a porous form of Carbon manufactured form Coconut shell, wood or coal. Activation is achieved with steam and it develops myraid of pores with enormous internal surface area.

The porosity creates a remarkable power of ADSORPTION, an indispensable process in industrial separation, purification; decolarization and recovery techniques. The Carbon atoms at the internal surface of Activated Carbon exert an attraction (van der waals force) on the molecules of surroundings liquid and gas and fixes on to its pore walls. This is the basis of mechanism whereby Activated Carbons may be used to remove one or more components from a mixture.

POWDERED ACTIVATED CARBON :-

Activated Carbons ( Powdered ) are derived from either hard wood charcoal or pine wood charcoal. Naturally therefore these carbons are vegetable origin.
In the activation process the super heated steam reacts with wood charcoal (Water gas reaction) and opens up fresh spaces in an already porous charcoal. New pores are created allowing access to the molecules to be absorbed on the surface of the charcoal.

Surface area of some grades of our activated carbon can be as high as 800 to 1500 m2/gm. This in short is the process of activation of carbons.
The activated material is pulverized, blended and sieved to get different grades of powdered activated carbons to meet the diverse needs.

QUALITY CONTROL :-

Headed by experienced TECHNOCRATS in the above field, our modern plant with its latest process control technology is managed by qualified and committed staff of professionals.
The dust and other foreign matters are removed from coconut shell charcoal by mechanized process and tested.
Only the selected Hard coconut shell charcoal is fed into the Kiln for activation. Sampling & testing of end products is carried out ROUND THE CLOCK in our sophisticated QUALITY CONTROL LABORATORY for every 50 kgs.

Under the personal supervision of Chief Chemist, every batch of final product is tested and QUALITY CONTROL TEST CERTIFICATE is recorded before dispatch and made available to the customers on request.
