Grinding
Powdered activated carbon from the heart of the Ruhr region
We produce powdered activated carbon at our company headquarters in Essen by crushing and grinding granulated or extruded activated carbon in our in-house mill. We can process all carbon-containing materials. We produce powdered activated carbon using the dry grinding process. This means that the activated carbon to be ground must be completely dry so that we can process it further.
After mechanical treatment in our mill, the activated carbon particles have a wide range of particle sizes – depending on customer requirements. This small size requires less space in the filter than other forms of activated carbon and more product can be filled into the filter, which can be an advantage for the adsorption process, depending on the application. With powdered activated carbons, the equilibrium states are reached more quickly, i.e. the dependence of the pollutant concentration on the adsorption by the activated carbon used.
The mixture makes the difference
Powdered activated carbon offers additional advantages for special applications. With powder, we can provide you with a customised mixture of several types. This is perfectly customised to your applications: The separation and adequate filtration properties of powdered activated carbon complement each other perfectly.
We will be happy to put together your personalised mixture.

GrindingWe can adjust the degree of fineness of the grinding according to customer requirements. A customised product mixture is also possible depending on the application.Further processingYou supply us with your product - we grind it for you.CounsellingOur experts will be happy to advise you on the right mixing ratio and the best possible grain size for your application.AREAS OF APPLICATION OF POWDERED ACTIVATED CARBON
AREAS OF APPLICATION OF POWDERED ACTIVATED CARBONActivated carbon in powder form is used in applications such as water treatment, exhaust air treatment and in the food industry. It is particularly good at removing micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals, hormones, biocides and much more by attaching them to the powdered activated carbon.
In the field of water applications, this includes drinking water treatment, but also the 4th purification stage, as particularly intensive and thorough purification is required here due to complex contaminants such as active pharmaceutical ingredients, metals, pesticides or PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).
In the field of exhaust air treatment, the generation of energy by burning natural gas, coal or biomass produces flue gases that must be cleaned of mercury or carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons before being released into the ambient air.
Thanks to our expertise, we are also able to offer you the right solution for special applications.
