Bygen's Sustainable Granular Activated Carbon
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is a coarse, granular adsorbent designed for fixed-bed systems where water or air flows through a stable carbon bed. Bygen stands at the forefront of producing high-performance GAC for delivering a high-surface-area adsorption medium. It is effective for reducing PFAS in appropriate applications, particularly long-chain PFASand other impurities from water, air, and gases, making it ideal for continuous treatment processes.
Bygen's GAC is a high-performance carbon solution used across multiple industries. Our proprietary GAC products are widely used in drinking water treatment to remove removes free chlorine, as well as taste and odour compounds such as geosmin and MIB; in wastewater and sewage treatment for organics and colour removal; in gas and vapour applications for VOC and odour control; and in food and beverage processing for decolourisation and trace contaminant removal.
Many GAC grades can be thermally reactivated after use, which may improve lifecycle cost in suitable applications. Bygen’s granular activated carbon is available in a range of particle sizes, including 8×30, 12×40, 6×12, 20×40, 30×60, and customised mesh distributions, allowing selection based on specific application requirements.
Key Applications
Bygen has earned the trust of its customers by delivering high-quality, high-standard GAC known for its proven effectiveness across diverse applications.
Our GAC filters remove natural organic matter, chlorine, and trace contaminants like PFAS, in systems designed with appropriate empty bed contact time (EBCT)
GAC serves as a final treatment step to adsorb residual organics, colour, and micropollutants not removed in earlier stage
In CIP/CIL processes, GAC adsorbs dissolved gold from leach solutions, enabling efficient recovery in mining operations.
Sewage Treatment (polishing stage)
GAC is used in tertiary treatment to purify effluent further, removing residual contaminants and controlling odour before discharge or reuse.
It is used to remove unwanted colour, impurities, and off-flavours, ensuring product clarity, taste, and consistency.
Bygen’s highly effective GAC captures volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odours, and solvent vapours from air streams, helping control emissions and improve air quality.
Benefits of Sustainable Granular Activated Carbon
-
High Adsorption Efficiency – Highly adsorbent and effective in filtering both gases and liquids, ensuring efficient removal of contaminants. Bygen’s GAC offers a larger internal pore volume, supporting long-term polishing and predictable breakthroughs.
