For professionals in the petroleum refining and chemical industries, achieving high purity in distillates is paramount. A key process in this endeavor is 'sweetening,' which involves removing undesirable sulfur compounds, particularly mercaptans, that contribute to unpleasant odors and corrosive properties. Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) has emerged as a highly effective adsorbent for these applications. As a prominent manufacturer and supplier in China, we understand the critical role GAC plays and offer high-quality coal-based products tailored for distillate sweetening.

The primary function of activated carbon in distillate sweetening is its remarkable adsorption capacity. Our coal-based GAC, with its extensive surface area and optimized pore structure, efficiently traps mercaptans and other organic impurities from liquid streams. This process not only neutralizes foul odors but also enhances the overall quality and safety of the refined products. For instance, the MRX type, a steam-activated bituminous coal activated carbon, is specifically developed for the Merox process, a common method for mercaptan removal. When you choose to buy activated carbon from a reliable supplier like us, you are investing in performance and consistency.

Key specifications such as a high iodine value (typically 900-950 mg/g) and excellent mechanical hardness (≥95%) are hallmarks of our activated carbon. These attributes ensure that the adsorbent remains robust in fixed-bed applications, minimizing attrition and fines production. This durability translates to cost-effectiveness, as the GAC can often be regenerated for reuse, further supporting operational efficiency. If you are seeking a price quote for high-quality activated carbon, partnering with an established manufacturer in China ensures competitive rates and dependable delivery.

Beyond petroleum distillates, our coal-based granular activated carbon is also utilized in various water treatment applications. It effectively removes taste and odor compounds, color, and total organic carbon (TOC) from industrial wastewater, chemical sewage, and even drinking water. This versatility makes it an indispensable material for industries aiming to meet stringent environmental and quality standards. Whether you need activated carbon for water purification or for specialized refining processes, our company is your go-to manufacturer and supplier.
