Activated Carbon Manufacturer and Supplier in Bahrain
SorbiTech manufactures and supplies activated carbon to Bahrain for aluminium smelting, oil and gas processing, water treatment, and food grade purification. Our product range covers granular activated carbon (GAC), powdered activated carbon (PAC), pelletised activated carbon, and impregnated speciality carbons produced from coconut shell, coal, wood, and palm kernel shell raw materials.
All activated carbon grades are manufactured in house and stocked at our UAE facility. We ship to Bahrain on standard Incoterms (EXW, FOB, CIF, DDP) and coordinate logistics based on your project requirements. Our clients include Alba, BAPCO, GPIC, and the Electricity and Water Authority.
Activated Carbon Product Range for Bahrain
Bahrain’s industrial mix requires activated carbon that performs across liquid and gas phase duties. Drinking water plants and desalination facilities rely on coconut shell GAC for chlorine and organic removal. Mercury capture in aluminium smelter flue gas needs sulphur impregnated carbon. Beverage and sugar processing lines use wood based PAC for decolorisation and purification.
| Product | Form | Available Sizes | Iodine Number | Key Speciality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coconut Shell GAC | Granular | 4×8, 8×30, 12×40 mesh | 900 to 1200 mg/g | Highest micropore volume for drinking water, desalination, and food grade purification |
| Coal Based GAC | Granular | 4×8, 8×16, 8×30, 12×40 mesh | 800 to 1100 mg/g | Broad pore distribution suited for industrial process water, wastewater, and condensate polishing |
| Sulphur Impregnated Carbon | Pellet / GAC | 3mm, 4mm pellet or 4×8 GAC | 600 to 900 mg/g | Built for mercury vapour capture in aluminium smelter and refinery flue gas |
| Coal Pelletised Carbon | Extruded Pellet | 1.5mm, 3mm, 4mm diameter | 800 to 1100 mg/g | Low pressure drop design for gas phase adsorption, biogas cleanup, and VOC recovery |
| Wood Based PAC | Powder | 200 mesh (75 micron) | 800 to 1200 mg/g | High mesopore capacity for sugar decolorisation, beverage clarification, and oil bleaching |
| Palm Kernel Shell GAC | Granular | 8×30, 12×40 mesh | 900 to 1050 mg/g | Sustainable raw material option for water filtration with strong hardness and low dust |
Applications of Activated Carbon in Bahrain
From desalination membranes to smelter flue gas treatment, activated carbon is used across Bahrain’s core industries. SorbiTech supplies grades matched to each process, whether you need GAC for process water, PAC for pharmaceutical purification, or impregnated carbon for biogas cleanup.
| Application | Recommended Carbon | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Mercury Capture | Sulphur Impregnated Pellet / GAC | Chemisorbs mercury vapour from aluminium smelter and refinery flue gas streams |
| Seawater Desalination | Coal GAC 8×30 | Removes chlorine and organics upstream of RO membranes to prevent fouling |
| Drinking Water Treatment | Coconut Shell GAC 12×40 | Polishes treated water by removing taste, odour, and residual disinfection byproducts |
| Biogas Purification | Impregnated Pellet 4mm | Scrubs H2S and siloxanes from biogas before engine or grid injection |
| Beverage Clarification | Wood PAC 200 mesh | Decolorises and purifies juices, syrups, and other beverage streams |
| Industrial Process Water | Coal GAC 12×40 | Reduces TOC and organics from boiler feed, cooling, and rinse water systems |
| API Purification | Coconut Shell GAC / PAC | Removes colour and organic impurities from pharmaceutical active ingredients |
| VOC Removal | Coal Pellet 3mm | Captures volatile organic compounds from process exhaust and storage tank vents |
| Gold Recovery | Coconut Shell GAC 6×12 (OraPure) | Adsorbs dissolved gold from carbon in leach and carbon in pulp circuits |
