Activated carbon filters are widely used to remove contaminants and organic matter in filtration and purification systems. With their high adsorption capabilities, large surface area and microporous structure they find usage in various industrial applications. In this blog, we explore the different applications of activated carbon filters highlighting its versatility.
What are Activated Carbon Filters?
TAn activated carbon filter is typically made of granular activated carbon (GAC) to remove specific chemical compounds, organic matter and contaminants from water. GAC filters are also used to remove unwanted odour and taste from water. If you are looking for activated carbon filtration, Western Carbon & Chemicals is one of the top granular activated carbon manufacturers in India. We have a comprehensive range of activated carbon for all filtration applications. Check out our activated carbon products.
Top 5 Applications of Activated Carbon Filters

Removing Contaminants in Wastewater Treatment Plants
Industrial wastewater contains many toxic-hazardous chemicals, odours and other impurities that need to be removed. Activated carbon in water treatment plants removes contaminants & impurities from industrial wastewater. Its microporous structure removes inorganic and synthetic organic chemicals. Our team can help you choose the right activated carbon for your filtration/purification needs.

Gas Purification
In the pharmaceutical and chemical industry air filtration mechanism is required for emission, odour and VOC produced in the manufacturing operations. Activated carbon filters for gas purification are employed to trap gas molecules and eliminate them. The porosity and large surface area trap unwanted particles within the microporous structure.

Treating Drinking Water
Water purification is another popular use of activated charcoal. Its high porosity adsorbs the impurities to stick to the surface of the material. Activated carbon is more efficient than sand filters in removing organic compounds including heavy metals, byproducts and VOCs.
-
Metal Processing
Various metal processing activities like welding, grinding, CNC cutting, spray painting and others produce toxic fumes and also cause corrosive interaction. This could lead to costly repairs and be harmful to the workforce’s health. Use Western Carbon & Chemical’s activated carbon for metal processing to adsorb harmful gases.
-
Production of Renewable Energy
Biogas is produced through an anaerobic digestion process to generate renewable energy. During this process, a mixture of gases is produced that are toxic and corrosive in nature impacting the combustion engine. Activated carbon filters adsorb toxic chemicals produced in the anaerobic digestion process for a higher yield of renewable energy.
