FAQ - ACTIVATED CARBON
What is the difference between Pelletized, Granular, and Powdered Activated Carbon?
Pelletized Activated Carbons (PAC) is cylindrical and ideal for gas and air purification. Granular Activate Carbon (GAC) has an irregular shape, making it great for water and liquid filtration. Powdered Activate Carbon (PAC) is fine powder, used for fast adsorption in liquid-phase applications like food, pharmaceuticals, and emergency water treatment.
Which type of activated carbon should I choose for my application?
It depends on your filtration needs:
- For gas filtration (biogas, VOC removal) → Choose Pelletized AC
- For water treatment & industrial filtration → Choose Granular AC
- For fast liquid-phase adsorption (food, pharma) → Choose Powdered AC

How does coconut shell-based activated carbon compare to coal-based activated carbon?
Coconut shell based activated carbons has a higher micropore volume, making it more effective for adsorbing low molecular weight contaminants like VOCs and heavy metals. It also has higher hardness, reducing dust generation and improving durability compared to coal-based carbon.
Can activated carbon be reused or regenerated?
Yes, Pelletized and Granular Activated Carbons can be regenerated using thermal reactivation, but Powdered Activate Carbon is typically single-use and disposed of after use. The feasibility of regeneration depends on the type of contaminants adsorbed.
How do I determine the right particle size of activated carbon for my needs?
It Depends –
- Pelletized Carbon: Typically 3mm to 5mm pellets for gas-phase filtration
- Granular Carbon: 8×16 mesh or 12×40 mesh for water treatment
- Powdered Carbon: Below 200 mesh for liquid-phase rapid adsorption
If you’re unsure, contact our experts for recommendations based on your specific application.
What is the lifespan of activated carbon in filtration systems? How do I know when activated carbon needs to be replaced?
Lifespan varies based on contaminant load and flow rate:
- Pelletized AC: 1–3 years (with possible regeneration)
- Granular AC: 6 months – 2 years
- Powdered AC: Single-use (must be replaced per batch)
Also
Signs that indicate replacement is needed:
- Gas-phase applications: Reduced odor or VOC removal efficiency
- Water filtration: Increased taste, odor, or contaminant breakthrough
- Industrial use: Drop in adsorption capacity (measurable via testing)
Does activated carbon remove bacteria and viruses?
Activated carbon does not kill bacteria or viruses, but it effectively removes organic contaminants, chlorine, pesticides, and odors that impact water and air quality. It is often used alongside UV or RO filtration for complete purification.
Can activated carbon be used for both air and water purification?
Yes, but Pelletized Carbon is best for air, while Granular & Powdered Carbon are better for water. Some grades of high-quality activated carbon can work for both applications, but it’s essential to select the right type for optimal performance.
