GENERAL

The filter coal is composed of hard durable cubic subangular shaped particles, free of clay, shale and other extraneous matter. The filter coal produced is very clean and has minimal fines. This allow reduced loss from scraping operation during installation into filters and thus the normal 10% extra purchased for scraping loss can be reduced representing a considerable cost saving.

 

Standard Packaging

:

Woven Polypropylene Bags of 32.5 liter capacity.
Woven Polypropylene Bulk Bags of 1.25 m3 capacity.

 

Bulk bags are equipped with four lifting lugs for crane or forklift handling and bottom discharge spout for easy media installation.

 

COAL, COKING COAL AND CHARCOAL PRODUCTS

Coal, Coking Coal and other types of charcoal products (coconut, palm kernel, etc.) are also available upon request.
