Activated Carbon in India – High-Performance Steam Activated Carbon
On this page
What is Activated Carbon?
Activated Carbon is a powerful adsorbent manufactured from coconut charcoal and activated using superheated steam at 1000°C. This process creates millions of micro-pores that adsorb contaminants, chemicals, color bodies, and organic impurities from water, air, and industrial fluids.
Coconut-based activated carbon offers higher hardness, longer service life, and superior adsorption compared to coal or wood-based carbons.
Why Industries Across India Prefer Our Activated Carbon
- High surface area: 600–2000 m²/g
- High mechanical hardness with minimal fines
- Excellent chlorine, odor, color & organic removal
- Ideal for RO pretreatment and STP/ETP polishing
- Long operational life with consistent performance
Across India, the demand for high-quality Activated Carbon is increasing rapidly due to stricter environmental regulations and growing investments in water treatment, wastewater management, air pollution control, and industrial process purification. Activated carbon plays a crucial role in helping industries meet compliance standards while maintaining operational efficiency.
At Carbure Activated Carbon, our products are manufactured using carefully selected coconut charcoal and processed through steam activation at 1000°C. This method reduces volatile compounds and develops a stable pore structure, resulting in uniform adsorption capacity, high mechanical strength, and reliable performance across multiple treatment cycles.
With a surface area ranging from 600–2000 m²/g and certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, GMP, HALAL, and KOSHER, our activated carbon is trusted by municipal projects, industrial plants, OEMs, and exporters across India for critical purification and recovery applications.
