Granular Activated Carbon
Granular activated carbon, also known as GAC, is a porous carbon media used in fixed bed filters, adsorption columns, and continuous treatment systems. SorbiTech™ Group supplies granular activated carbon grades for liquid phase and gas phase applications where contact time, flow control, pressure drop, and product specification are critical to process performance.

How Granular Activated Carbon Works and Why It Is Selected
Granular activated carbon operates through adsorption, a surface based process in which contaminants are retained within the internal pore structure of the carbon. In continuous treatment systems, water, air, or process streams pass through a fixed carbon bed, allowing dissolved or gaseous impurities to migrate into the pore network and attach to the internal surface. This mechanism supports the removal of chlorine, organic compounds, odors, VOCs, and trace contaminants under stable operating conditions. Medaad activated carbon, as a highly porous adsorbent with a large surface area, positions GAC as suitable for water treatment and air purification with effective removal of chlorine, organics, and heavy metals.
Granular activated carbon is selected where continuous operation, predictable flow characteristics, and long service life are important. Its larger particle size supports effective contact time while maintaining practical flow through beds, columns, and filters. This makes GAC suitable for water treatment, air purification, gas treatment, and other industrial adsorption duties where operational reliability and stable treatment performance are required.
