Carbonisation
Selected palm kernel shells are processed at low temperatures to
remove natural volatile components and residual moisture levels.
The granules are then de-stoned and sorted to right sizes for
activation. The by-product carbonisate powder can be processed
into briquette fuel or fertilizer material.
Activation
The carbonised raw material is passed through high temperature
(1000oC) activation retorts in the presence of a stringently
controlled flow of steam which is used as the oxidising medium.
The resulting product is a powerful adsorbent with a range of
pores of molecular dimensions. Under a scanning electron
microscope the pore development is clearly visible, appearing
like a porous sponge. This high concentration of pores within a
relatively small volume produces a material with a phenomenal
internal surface area.
To put this into perspective, a tea spoon of activated carbon
would exhibit a surface area equivalent to that of a football
field. It is this vast internal surface area that gives
activated carbon its unique ability to adsorb a wide range of
compounds from both the liquid and gas phase. The target
compound is contacted with the activated carbon and subsequently
diffuses into the internal pore structure. The internal surface
area of the activated carbon exhibits Van der Waals forces which
lock the compound into the pore structure. The process of
transferring molecules from the gas of liquid phase onto a solid
surface is defined as adsorption.

Palm Activated
Carbon - The compelling choice
Our customers
have found Palm Activated Carbon to exceed or at least equal
that of Coconut Activated Carbon in terms of effectiveness and
micro porosity when used for the purposes of water purification
and waste water treatment.
As the raw material of Palm Kernels is more accessible than
imported coconut shells, we provide our customers with premium
grade activated carbon at a superior performance over price as
compared with many other types of activated carbon.
Like stated, we pride ourselves on stringent quality control to
ensure uniform and consistent quality. The high specification of
our product coupled with competitive pricing ensures cost
effectiveness to our customers.
