Activated Carbon Manufacturer and Supplier in Kuwait
SorbiTech manufactures and supplies activated carbon to Kuwait for desalination, oil refining, petrochemical processing, and municipal water treatment. We produce granular activated carbon (GAC), powdered activated carbon (PAC), pelletised activated carbon, and impregnated speciality carbons from coconut shell, coal, wood, and palm kernel shell base materials.
All products are manufactured in house and stocked at our UAE facility. We ship to Kuwait on standard Incoterms (EXW, FOB, CIF, DDP) and arrange freight based on your project requirements and delivery schedule. Our clients include KNPC, MEW, EQUATE, and PIC.
Activated Carbon Product Range for Kuwait
Selecting the right activated carbon starts with understanding what you need to remove. Desalination and process water applications need GAC with high iodine number and uniform particle size. Gas phase applications like VOC recovery and odour control need pelletised carbon with high working capacity. Decolorisation applications need PAC with high mesopore volume.
| Product | Form | Available Sizes | Iodine Number | Key Speciality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coal Based GAC | Granular | 4×8, 8×16, 8×30, 12×40 mesh | 800 to 1100 mg/g | Versatile pore structure suited for desalination, process water, and wastewater |
| Coconut Shell GAC | Granular | 4×8, 8×30, 12×40 mesh | 900 to 1200 mg/g | High micropore volume for drinking water polishing and amine system protection |
| Coal Pelletised Carbon | Extruded Pellet | 1.5mm, 3mm, 4mm diameter | 800 to 1100 mg/g | Designed for solvent recovery, VOC adsorption, and gas treatment with low pressure drop |
| Impregnated Carbon | Pellet / GAC | 3mm, 4mm pellet or 4×8 GAC | 600 to 900 mg/g | Sulphur, caustic, or KOH impregnated for mercury, H2S, and acid gas applications |
| Wood Based PAC | Powder | 200 mesh (75 micron) | 800 to 1200 mg/g | High mesopore capacity for sugar decolorisation, oil refining, and wastewater dosing |
| Palm Kernel Shell GAC | Granular | 8×30, 12×40 mesh | 900 to 1050 mg/g | Cost effective alternative for water filtration with good hardness and adsorption |
Applications of Activated Carbon in Kuwait
Kuwait’s refining, desalination, and petrochemical sectors consume activated carbon at various process stages. Whether you need coal based GAC for desalination pre treatment, pelletised carbon for solvent recovery, or wood PAC for oil refining, SorbiTech manufactures the right grade for each application.
| Application | Recommended Carbon | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Seawater Desalination | Coal GAC 8×30 | Dechlorination and organic removal to extend RO membrane life |
| Drinking Water Treatment | Coconut Shell GAC 12×40 | Removes residual chlorine, taste, and odour from treated water |
| Solvent Recovery | Coal Pellet 4mm | Adsorbs process solvents for recovery and reuse in production |
| Industrial Process Water | Coconut / Coal GAC | Reduces TOC for high purity boiler feed and cooling water systems |
| Odour Control | Impregnated GAC / Pellet | Neutralises H2S, mercaptans, and amine odours in ventilation air |
| Wastewater Treatment | Coal GAC / PAC | Polishes treated effluent for discharge compliance or industrial reuse |
| Sugar Decolorisation | Wood PAC 200 mesh | Removes colour bodies and organic impurities from sugar liquor |
| Edible Oil Refining | Wood PAC | Bleaches and deodorises cooking oils during the refining process |
