Activated Carbon (Granular) – Coconut-Based Steam-Activated 25 KG (IV900)
The IV900 Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is a premium, coconut shell-based, steam‐activated filtration media crafted in India. It delivers exceptional adsorption capacity and a clean, natural solution for improving water quality. Ideal for domestic, industrial, and municipal use, this 25 kg bag ensures that unwanted tastes, odors, and chemical contaminants are effectively removed. Moreover, its physical hardness and low ash content make it durable under heavy usage.
Key Features & Benefits
- Superior Adsorption Performance: Removes chlorine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bad odors, and discolors. It also eliminates trace amounts of pesticides, insecticides, and other organic contaminants. Puricom+2Yihang Carbon+2
- Steam Activation Process: The carbon is steam-activated, which enhances its microporosity and gives it excellent surface area for adsorption.
- High Hardness & Durability: With hardness above 92%, this activated carbon resists breakdown, reducing dust generation and extending filter life.
- Low Impurities: Contains less than 0.7% iron (Fe) value, ensuring minimal unwanted metal ion release. Puricom
- Eco-Friendly Material: Coconut shells are renewable, making this carbon a more sustainable choice over coal-based varieties.

Applications
This Activated Carbon (Granular) media is excellent for:
- Final polishing stage in water purification systems
- Removal of chlorine & chlorine by-products (e.g. THMs) in municipal and RO setups
- Improving taste and odor in drinking water
- Filtering process water in food & beverage, industrial effluent, and swimming pools
Usage & Selection Tips
- Use this GAC in systems where flow and contact time are sufficient to allow adsorption (granular contact beds or GAC filters).
- Regular replacement or regeneration may be required depending on contaminant load and volume; performance declines when saturation is reached.
- For best results, pre-filter to remove sediments and protect granular carbon from clogging.
Installation & Handling
- Flushing the new activated carbon before first use reduces carbon dust.
- Ensure media bed depth is adequate to allow proper contact time.
- Avoid abrupt pH extremes (very acidic/alkaline) as these may reduce effectiveness.
