Product Overview

Our Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is a premium-grade adsorbent manufactured from high-quality coconut shells. Through advanced steam activation processes, we create a highly porous structure with exceptional surface area, making it ideal for a wide range of purification and filtration applications.

This versatile material exhibits superior adsorption characteristics for organic compounds, chlorine, taste, and odor — making it the preferred choice for industries demanding consistent quality and reliable performance.

Key Features

  • High adsorption capacity — Excellent for removal of organic contaminants
  • Low ash content — Ensures minimal interference with target processes
  • High mechanical strength — Reduces dust formation and product loss
  • Reactivatable — Can be thermally regenerated multiple times
  • NSF/ANSI 61 compliant — Safe for drinking water applications

Primary Applications

This product is widely used across multiple industries:

  • Municipal and industrial water treatment
  • Wastewater treatment and effluent polishing
  • Groundwater remediation
  • Beverage processing and decolorization
  • Gold recovery from cyanide solutions
  • Air and gas purification systems
Sahyadri Carbon's GAC has consistently delivered superior performance across our installations — exactly what we need for critical water purification operations.

Quality Assurance

Every batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing in our laboratory facilities. We provide detailed Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with each shipment, ensuring complete traceability and compliance with international standards.
