| What is activated
carbon?
Simply put, it is a porous material
made from carbonaceous raw materials, such
as coal, coconut shells, wood, peat, and
others. When activated under very specific
conditions and processes, the material develops
a large internal surface porosity and casts
the surface area. |

What type of carbon does GLCT handle?
We can provide activated carbon products for
virtually any application. Our specialties
are coal and coconut based products well suited
for environmental, industrial and municipal
water, wastewater, and air filtration or treatment.
We also custom batch specially impregnated
carbon products for specific applications,
as well as supplying other specialty filtration
media products to compliment our activated
carbon products. |

What about reactivated
or regenerated carbon?
Reactivated carbon is used carbon,
processed under specific conditions to remove
the contaminants that were absorbed in prior
use. As some of the physical structure is
lost during the process, the carbon loses
a percentage of its original pore structure,
thereby reducing its overall efficiency. |
| |
| We start with virgin grade. GLCT
utilizes virgin grade activated
carbon in our treatment systems for change
out services. Some clients do not specify
their desire for reactivated carbon, but we
are happy to provide these products upon specific
request. Our reactivated carbon products are
produced under strict controls to ensure the
highest quality product possible. |
