Anthracite

Anthracite

Anthracite Filter Media are specialized filtration materials designed for the effective removal of turbidity and suspended solids (SS). Due to its lighter specific gravity compared to Filter Sand, Anthracite is commonly used alongside Filter Sand in dual-media filtration systems, enabling the formation of reverse grain layers after backwashing.

With its high carbon content, Anthracite offers:

  • Superior chemical resistance
  • High physical strength

These properties make Anthracite widely used in city and industrial water purification systems.

Our Anthracite Filter Media has a proven track record with supply references in some of the largest desalination plants and municipal water filtration systems.
