Versatile Granular Activated Carbon Solutions

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) features a larger particle size than powdered carbon, offering high durability and long-lasting performance. It is ideal for applications that require extended contact time, such as air purification, water treatment, deodorization, and flow system separation.

GAC is effective in adsorbing gases, vapors, and organic compounds like chlorine and VOCs. Its structure supports efficient diffusion, making it suitable for both industrial and residential use—including home filtration units, rapid mix basins, and large-scale treatment systems. Western Carbon & Chemicals GAC is available in both granular and extruded forms, providing a reliable, cost-effective solution for consistent purification performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is granular activated carbon used for?
Granular activated carbon is primarily used for water and air filtration systems, including odor removal, and in industrial processes that require high adsorption capacity.
How is granular activated carbon different from powdered activated carbon?
Granular activated carbon has larger particles and is designed for applications that require slower flow rates, making it ideal for water and air purification systems.
Can granular activated carbon be used for home water filtration?
Yes, it is commonly used in home water filters, providing effective removal of chlorine, organic compounds, and other contaminants.
How often should granular activated carbon be replaced?
Replacement frequency depends on usage and the level of contamination in the air or water. Typically, it needs replacing every 3-6 months for residential systems.
Can granular activated carbon be regenerated for reuse?
Yes, granular activated carbon can be regenerated in some applications, usually through heat or chemical treatment, though it depends on the contamination level.
