Anthracite

Anthracite Filter Media is thoroughly selected from anthracite which yields the highest percentage of carbon.  It is then hydraulically classified to reduce mineral matter and ash to a minimum, and finally screened and washed to ensure suitability for filtration purposes. Crushed anthracite makes an excellent medium density filtration media. Because of its fractured shape, some sediment penetrates deeper into the bed. When compared to equivalent filter sands., this means longer filter runs and less head loss. Backwash rates are also reduced.

Typical Applications:
* General Water Treatment and Mixed Bed Filtration
