See how it works
Six short animations: how our carbon is made and tested, how it cleans water, oil and air, and how it reaches you.
How our carbon is made
- Babul logs are cut to length
- The wood is cut into small pieces
- The pieces are loaded into the kiln and fired
- Water is sprayed under the kiln to cool the charcoal
- The charcoal is crushed into fine powder
- Every batch is tested and given its batch number
- Bagged and stored in our warehouse, ready to ship
How our carbon is made
- Babul wood from Gujarat
- Carbonised without air into char
- Activated with steam at about 900 °C
- Crushed, sieved and packed in 25 kg sacks
How every lot is tested
- A sample is taken from every lot
- Iodine number: how much it can adsorb
- Methylene blue: how it takes larger molecules
- Hardness, ash and moisture go on the report
Carbon in a water treatment plant
- Water comes in with taste, odour and chlorine
- It runs down through a bed of granular carbon
- The impurities stay in the carbon's pores
- Clean water comes out
Decolorizing edible oil
- Dark oil in the bleaching tank
- A small dose of wood powder carbon goes in
- Mixed, then filtered out in a filter press
- Light, clear oil comes out
Cleaning air and gas
- Fumes and solvent vapour leave the process
- They pass through a bed of carbon pellets
- Vapours and odours stay in the pores
- Clean air leaves the stack
From Kutch to your plant
