ACTIVATED CARBON
Our activated carbon products include:
- Coconut Shell Activated Carbon
- Coal Based Activated Carbon
- Lignite Based Activated Carbon
- Wood Based Activated Carbon
- Impregnation Series
- Special Activated Carbon Products
Coconut Shell Activated Carbon like its names comes from the coconut shell that has been undergone steam activation process to create its activated carbon form. During activation, it creates millions of pores at the surface of the carbon thus increasing the total surface area. Coconut shell carbon has mainly micro-pores to meso-pores and due to its unique distribution of pores diameter, coconut shell activated carbon are very popular in the gas phase purification and potable water purification industries.
- Regular Granular Coconut Shell Carbon
- Water Washed Granular Coconut Shell Carbon
- Acid Washed Granular Coconut Shell Carbon
- Powder Coconut Shell Activated Carbon
Coal Based Activated Carbon originates from coal that has undergone steam activation process to create its activated carbon form. During activation, it creates millions of pores at the surface of the carbon thus increasing the total surface area. Coal based carbon has mainly meso-pores and macro-pores and due to its unique distribution of pores diameter, coal based activated carbon are very popular in the gas phase purification, potable water purification industries, wastewater purification industries and aquarium/pond water purification industries.
- Regular Bituminous Coal Based Carbon
- Acid Washed Bituminous Coal Based Carbon
- Virgin Extruded Pelletized Coal Based Carbon
- Acid Washed Extruded Pelletized Coal Based Carbon
- Powder Coal Based Activate Carbon
Lignite Based Activated Carbon granular activated carbon produced by steam activation of lignite coal. This grade is specifically manufactured for applications requiring rapid adsorption rate in percolation columns. Lignite based activated carbon is a general purpose granular carbon grade used in a variety of applications including purification of fine chemicals and food.
Powder activated carbon produced by steam activation of lignite coal. It is widely used in agriculture as a soil amendment to protect and enhance plant and turf grass growth and vigor.
Wood Based Activated Carbon is produced by steam activation of wood. This wood based activated carbon has high porosity and purity. Majority is being used in the water and wastewater treatment, decolorization and vapor phase injection systems.
Impregnation Series

FILTER MEDIA
Our filter media products include:
- Anthracite Filter Media
- Gravel Filter Media
- Sand Filter Media
- Garnet Filter Media
Anthracite Filter Media
Excellent filtration medium for gravity and pressure filters, for treatment of hard and soft water, sewage, oil and acid/alkali liquids.
The hardness of carbocite ensures minimum wastage by attrition in service. It contains 80% of pure carbon. The irregular shape of the particles offers a larger surface area per unit of volume and larger spaces between particles which enable high filtration rates with low head losses to be obtained. The greater surface area of carbocite promotes the efficient removal of algae, turbidity and bacteria.
The advantages of using anthracite become expressed as follows:
- Faster filtration
- Longer filter runs
- Low loss of head
- Economic use of space
- Easy to handle
- Savings in wash water
- Big capital savings
- Long life
Gravel Filter Media
To insure a clean, quality product, filter gravels are double scrubbed to remove all clay, shale and inorganic impurities. High purity, consistent quality gravel makes this media ideal for filtration.
The advantages of using gravel filtration become expressed as follows:
- Wide variety of grades available (1 1/2“ to 3/16”)
- Full service lab continually monitors product
- Extremely pure silica content (>99%)
- Private labeling available on request
- Variety of packaging offered
- All filtration gravel meets AWWA B100 Specifications
- NSF certified for standard 61
Sand Filter Media
Prominent Systems' sand filter media is composed of sub-angular, hard, durable, and dense grains of predominately siliceous material. Extracted from a clean glacial sand deposit, our sand media physical properties make it among the finest available in the world for filtration applications. The sand media is washed, kiln dried, and screened to meet exacting specifications with strict adherence to quality control.
Garnet Filter Media
Prominent Systems' garnet is a chemically inert non-metallic mineral commonly found in the natural environment. Garnet has a high specific gravity. Its chemical, hardness, and durability properties makes garnet an ideal filter media and abrasive media.
