Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the lead time for bulk orders?
Standard grades are typically ready for shipment within 7-14 days. For customized specifications or very large orders (full container loads), we recommend consulting with our sales team for an accurate timeline. We maintain strategic stock for popular grades to expedite delivery.
Can you provide material tailored to a specific contaminant?
Absolutely. The adsorption profile can be optimized by selecting the appropriate raw material (coconut, coal, wood) and activation process. We recommend sharing your target contaminants (e.g., specific VOCs, heavy metals, chlorine) with our technical team for a tailored product recommendation.
What packaging options are available?
We offer flexible packaging to suit your handling needs: 25 kg multi-wall paper bags, 500-1000 kg disposable bulk bags (FIBCs), or direct loading into ISO tank containers for powdered carbon. All packaging is designed for safe, secure, and dust-minimized transport.
How do I determine the right mesh size for my system?
The optimal mesh size depends on your system's pressure drop requirements, contact time, and the physical nature of the fluid stream. Generally, smaller mesh provides more surface area but higher pressure drop. Our engineers can help you analyze your system parameters to select the most efficient grade.
Do you offer regeneration or take-back services for spent carbon?
While we focus on the supply of virgin material, we can connect you with certified partners who specialize in the thermal reactivation of spent granular activated carbon, supporting a more circular economy for your operations.
