OozeChem is a leading supplier of high-quality Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) in Dubai UAE, Gulf region, and worldwide, offering reliable solutions for water purification, air treatment, and industrial adsorption processes. Our PAC products are engineered for optimal efficiency, ensuring exceptional performance across various water treatment and environmental applications.

What is Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)?

Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) is a highly porous carbon material with an exceptionally large surface area, typically ranging from 500 to 1,500 m²/g. This fine-grade adsorbent is produced through controlled activation processes that create an extensive network of micropores and mesopores, making it ideal for rapid adsorption applications. PAC’s fine particle size and high surface area enable quick contact and efficient removal of contaminants from water and air streams. Its versatility and effectiveness make PAC a trusted choice in municipal water treatment, industrial wastewater treatment, emergency water purification, and air filtration systems where fast-acting adsorption is critical.

At Oozechem, we supply Powdered Activated Carbon suitable for various industrial, municipal, and commercial applications in the UAE and across the Gulf region.

Usage Guidelines:

Dosage: Typical dosage rates range from 5-50 mg/L for drinking water treatment and 50-200 mg/L for industrial applications, depending on contamination levels and treatment objectives.

Mixing: PAC should be thoroughly mixed with water to form a uniform slurry before addition to the treatment system. Adequate mixing time (15-30 minutes) ensures optimal contact with contaminants.

Contact Time: Allow sufficient contact time (typically 30-60 minutes) for maximum adsorption efficiency before separation or filtration.

Handling & Storage:

OozeChem Powdered Activated Carbon should be stored in its original sealed packaging in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid storage near heat sources or oxidizing agents.

When stored under these conditions, OozeChem PAC has a shelf life of three years in sealed bags.

Safety Information

OozeChem Powdered Activated Carbon is non-toxic, chemically stable, and safe for use in water treatment and industrial environments. However, it should always be handled in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhalation of fine particles that may be released during handling. While the material itself is safe, wearing protective gloves, eyewear, and a dust mask is recommended during handling operations to prevent dust inhalation. Avoid creating dust clouds during transfer operations, and use appropriate dust collection systems when handling large quantities.
