Industrial activated carbon applications
Water, gold recovery, air, gas, refinery, and specialty industrial programs each place different demands on hardness, pore structure, activity, and purity.
Water Treatment
Granular, powder, impregnated, and catalytic grades for drinking water, municipal systems, and wastewater purification.
Black Opal supplies activated carbon for drinking water, industrial process water, municipal systems, groundwater remediation, and wastewater polishing.
Gold Recovery
Microporous coconut shell carbon grades for CIP, CIC, and tank-adsorbed precious-metal recovery systems.
Gold recovery is a specialist performance application where hardness, low platelets, low dust, and adsorption kinetics directly affect metal loading and carbon loss.
Air & Gas
Coconut shell and impregnated grades for indoor air quality, protection equipment, flue gas, and odor control.
Air and gas purification depends on hardness and retentivity, making coconut shell carbon a strong base media for demanding filtration duties.
Oil & Gas
Activated carbon for vapor recovery, H2S removal, condensate polishing, and low-silica boiler-feed protection.
Oil and gas applications include refinery vapor recovery, hydrogen sulfide removal, and high-purity condensate boiler-feed water treatment.
Catalytic / Chloramine Removal
Specialty catalytic carbon for chloramine decomposition and hydrogen sulfide control in drinking-water systems.
Utilities are switching to chloramine, and catalytic activated carbon is the correct point-of-use or treatment response when standard chlorine carbon is not enough.
Other Applications
Specialty grades for solvent recovery, food and beverage purification, edible oil, and related industrial processes.
Black Opal supplies specialty grades for solvent recovery plus food and beverage purification work beyond the main water, mining, gas, and refinery categories.
