Activated Carbon Manufacturer and Supplier in Saudi Arabia (KSA)
SorbiTech manufactures and supplies activated carbon across Saudi Arabia for water treatment, petrochemical processing, oil refining, and mining operations. 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 activated carbon products are manufactured in house and stocked at our UAE facility. We ship to Saudi Arabia on standard Incoterms (EXW, FOB, CIF, DDP) and coordinate freight to match your project schedule. For gold mining operations, our OraPure Activated Carbon is engineered for high gold loading and recovery in CIL and CIP circuits. Our clients include Aramco, SABIC, NWC, SWCC, and Ma’aden.
Activated Carbon Product Range for Saudi Arabia
Choosing the right activated carbon depends on your process conditions. Desalination plants and drinking water facilities across Saudi Arabia use GAC for dechlorination and organic removal. VOC treatment and mercury capture in refineries need pelletised or impregnated carbon. Gold recovery operations rely on coconut shell GAC with high hardness and activity.
| Product | Form | Available Sizes | Iodine Number | Key Speciality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coconut Shell GAC | Granular | 4×8, 6×12, 8×30, 12×40 mesh | 900 to 1200 mg/g | Highest micropore volume for drinking water, gold recovery, and food grade applications |
| Coal Based GAC | Granular | 4×8, 8×16, 8×30, 12×40 mesh | 800 to 1100 mg/g | Broad pore distribution for desalination, process water, and industrial wastewater |
| Wood Based PAC | Powder | 200 mesh (75 micron) | 800 to 1200 mg/g | High mesopore capacity for sugar decolorisation, oil refining, and wastewater dosing |
| Coal Pelletised Carbon | Extruded Pellet | 1.5mm, 3mm, 4mm diameter | 800 to 1100 mg/g | Low pressure drop design for gas phase adsorption, VOC removal, and solvent recovery |
| 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 removal |
| Palm Kernel Shell GAC | Granular | 8×30, 12×40 mesh | 900 to 1050 mg/g | Cost effective water treatment option with good hardness and low ash content |
Applications of Activated Carbon in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia’s desalination, petrochemical, and mining sectors consume large volumes of activated carbon. Whether you need coal based GAC for seawater desalination, impregnated pellets for mercury capture, or OraPure carbon for gold recovery, SorbiTech manufactures the right grade for each process.
| Application | Recommended Carbon | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Seawater Desalination | Coal GAC 8×30 | Removes chlorine and organics to protect RO membranes from fouling and degradation |
| Drinking Water Treatment | Coconut Shell GAC 12×40 | Polishes treated water to remove taste, odour, and residual disinfection byproducts |
| Gold Recovery | Coconut Shell GAC 6×12 (OraPure) | Adsorbs dissolved gold from cyanide leach solution in CIL and CIP circuits |
| Mercury Capture | Sulphur Impregnated Pellet | Chemisorbs mercury vapour from natural gas, refinery, and petrochemical flue gas |
| VOC Removal | Coal Pellet 4mm | Captures volatile organic compounds from process exhaust and tank venting systems |
| Industrial Process Water | Coal / Coconut GAC | Reduces TOC and organics for high purity boiler feed, cooling, and process water |
| Wastewater Treatment | Coal GAC / PAC | Tertiary polishing to meet discharge limits for COD, colour, and organic contaminants |
| Sugar Decolorisation | Wood PAC 200 mesh | Removes colour bodies and organic impurities from raw and refined sugar liquor |
