AnthraciteCoal is a type of coal that has high carbon content, fewest impurities, andabove all the highest energy density when compared with any other type of coal.A hard and compact material also known as hard coal it has sub-metallic lustreand contains low Sulphur. It has multiple applications.

Anthracite Media are filtration materials for turbidity and SS removal. Since the specific gravity is lighter than that of Filter Sand, it is much used in combination with Filter Sand in dual-media filtration, to consist reverse grain layers after backwashing. Because of high content carbon of this product, it has high resistance to various chemicals and high physical strength so that it is widely used for city and industrial water purification. Anthracite used in sand filters for Water Filtration with other water treatment filtration media products such as Gravel, Activated Carbon and Silica Sand. 

It is specifically selected for water treatment, and during its production goes through several sizing inspections. Because of its angular shape, some of the 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. Because of its unique density, Anthracite can be used in multi-media filters. At 50 lbs/ft3, it will hydraulically classify and remain above heavier media such as Filter Sand or Manganese Greensand, providing a pre-filtration layer.

Its uses:

Anthracite is a hard, compact, high-carbon mineral coal that's used in water treatment as a filter medium to clarify water for drinking and industrial use.

Anthracite is often used in combination with sand filters, and can also be used in deep bed filtration.

Benefits Anthracite has many benefits,including:

Turbidity removal: Anthracite is effective at removing turbiditybecause of its ability to hold solids.

Filter life: Anthracite can extend the life of filterbeds.

Lower operational costs: Anthracite can reduce operational and capitalcosts.

Less backwashing: Anthracite can reduce the amount ofbackwashing needed.

Better treatment results: Anthracite can improve the quality of treatedwater.
