Powdered Activated Carbon for High Performance

Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) is a fine-grade material made from high-carbon organic sources like wood, lignite, and coal. Manufactured through direct activation, it offers a high surface-to-volume ratio, making it highly effective at adsorbing a broad range of contaminants, including organic compounds, chlorine, and unwanted odors. Its small particle size enables fast and efficient purification, especially in liquid-phase applications.

PAC is widely used in water treatment—both for continuous use and targeted control of taste, odor, or organic chemicals. It can be applied as a dry powder or slurry, depending on dosage needs. Beyond water, it also plays a key role in air purification and industrial processes across the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and environmental sectors. Western Carbon & Chemicals powdered activated carbon delivers consistent performance and meets the highest standards for quality and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) used for?
Powdered activated carbon is used primarily in water treatment, air purification, and industrial filtration processes to remove impurities and contaminants.
How does powdered activated carbon improve water quality?
It adsorbs harmful chemicals, chlorine, and other contaminants from water through its highly porous structure, making the water cleaner and safer to use.
Can powdered activated carbon be used in food and beverage industries?
Yes, powdered activated carbon is commonly used in the food and beverage industries to remove taste and odor impurities from products such as juices, alcohol, and syrups.
Is powdered activated carbon safe for household water filtration systems?
Yes, it is safe for household water filtration systems, especially for reducing chlorine, odors, and other chemicals from tap water.
How should powdered activated carbon be stored?
It should be stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to prevent moisture from reducing its effectiveness.
