What is Anthracite?
Anthracite is a type of coal containing more than 90% carbon, offering excellent filtration performance in the water treatment industry due to its low density and high surface area. Thanks to its large surface area, it effectively filters organic substances and suspended solids. Its chemical resistance and long-lasting structure make it widely used, from drinking water treatment plants to industrial water treatment systems. Anthracite is preferred as the top layer, especially in multi-layer filters, due to its low-pressure loss and high filtration capacity.
What are the Properties of Anthracite?
Anthracite stands out with its high physical and chemical stability. Thanks to these properties, it can operate in a wide pH range, maintains its form without breaking during backwashing, and provides resistance to clogging even in long-term use. It is very useful in facilities because it provides less water and energy consumption during backwashing. It optimizes the bed structure in filter systems, supporting a more homogeneous flow of water, which increases filtration efficiency and reduces operating costs.
