Activated Carbon Granular is a high-performance adsorbent in granular form. In Chandigarh - known for its high quality of life, being the capital of two states (Punjab and Haryana) and a Union Territory administered directly by the Government of India, and with over 1.2 million residents (making it one of the more densely populated but also one of the most liveable cities with relatively low crime, high literacy >86%, excellent parks, and civic amenities due to planned development by Le Corbusier and the Chandigarh Master Plan, we supply premium granular activated carbon to support water treatment plants at Chandigarh's Sector 39 Water Works (80 MLD, supply to sectors 23-40, Industrial Area Phase I, II), Sector 51 Water Works (110 MLD supply to southern sectors 41-56, 61-80, and neighboring areas), Sector 52 Water Works (25 MLD supply to certain pockets), Panchkula Water Works (40 MLD), Mohali Water Works (50 MLD), and air purification systems at CSIR-Institute of Microbial Technology (IMTECH - Chandigarh's premier biotech research institute with BSL-3 lab & fermentation pilot plant requiring HEPA filtration, and clean-room facilities for microbial, molecular biology labs, animal house requiring VOC & particulate removal, and process vents from R&D and pilot scale operations), Central Scientific Instruments Organisation (CSIO - Chandigarh's instrumentation research & precision electronic manufacturing, requiring VOC & process exhaust), and industrial processing units in Baddi (pharma solvents handling & API R&D pilot labs requiring vent adsorption. Chandigarh's air quality during winter months (Nov-Feb) can be moderate to poor due to inversion, with AQI 150-300 for few weeks annually (PM2.5, PM10, and some VOC due to paddy stubble burning in Punjab/Haryana post-harvest Oct-Nov, & again post-wheat harvest April-May) affecting occupational health and requiring facility air intake with filtration for sensitive manufacturing (pharmaceuticals, electronics, healthcare, research, food processing). Our product helps maintain clean air in Chandigarh's critical research and manufacturing facilities.
As an indispensable granular adsorbent for Chandigarh's municipal water supply, research institutions, and industrial sectors, it serves multiple treatment facilities. For Chandigarh's water treatment plants (Sector 39, 51, 52), air purification systems at IMTECH, CSIO, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) Mohali, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Mohali, and industrial processing facilities (Baddi pharma - API manufacturing, solvent handling, R&D pilot plant operations, and pharmaceutical R&D centers at NIPER and other TRICITY institutes with R&D pilot & vent emissions requiring carbon adsorption), this product meets all quality standards while supporting Chandigarh's leadership in science, technology, and public health, and the city's reputation for high quality of life & clean environment.

Why Choose Our GAC? Our Coconut Shell GAC is the preferred choice for Reverse Osmosis (RO) pre-treatment, wastewater recycling, and gold recovery due to its low attrition loss. The high Iodine Value ensures that even the smallest molecular contaminants are trapped effectively, providing crystal clear water and purified air.
