Manufacturing activated carbon

Carbon Activated manufactures activated carbon at plants in Sri Lanka and works with manufacturers in China.

By producing our own media, we can maintain our high quality standards from start to finish.

Activated carbon is produced from coconut shells, wood, coal and other carbonaceous sources. During the activation process, pure carbon is extracted from these materials by a superheating method known as pyrolysis.

Throughout the manufacturing process, samples are collected at various stages and tested for quality in our labs.

The qualities of our final product depend on:

• the type of raw material used
• the length of the activation and rate of reaction
• the reaction temperature
• the type and concentration of the oxidizing gases

over 300 different applications across a wide variety of industries.

Our quality is guaranteed.
