Activated Carbon Granular, Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) in Kenya
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is the workhorse of adsorption filtration. In Nairobi, where water recycling is critical, we supply Premium GAC (coal/coconut-based) to support Nairobi Water, industrial RO pretreatment, and EPZ wastewater recycling. Nairobi's water scarcity drives need for higher RO recovery and water reuse requires high-quality GAC.
As a versatile adsorption media for Kenya's municipal and industrial water treatment, it serves: chlorine removal (RO pretreatment), organic contaminant adsorption, taste/odor control, and polishing before reuse, meeting KEBS, AWWA, and NEMA standards.
While Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) can be produced from various carbonaceous materials like Coal, Wood, or Lignite, OUR GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON IS MANUFACTURED FROM COCONUT SHELL ONLY. This source makes our carbon significantly harder and provides a much higher surface area compared to other variants, making it ideal for the unique water treatment challenges in Kenya. Coconut Shell based granular activated carbon offers superior adsorption capacity due to its dense micro-porous structure and exceptional mechanical hardness, ensuring long-lasting performance in the demanding filtration beds used by industries in Kenya.

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.
