ANTHRACITE

Anthracite coal is used extensively in water filtration because of its excellent filtration properties. Anthracite consists of hard, durable coal particles that come in various sizes.

Becuase of extensive use in the water industry we currently stock .8 -.9 anthractite in 52 lb. bags. Other sizes of anthracite may be availble for your application. Please call for information.

Our anthracite meets AWWA B100 and NSF Standards.

ADVANTAGES

• Higher service flows and longer filter runs than equivalent sand filters
• Close attention to gradation, hardness and purity assures consistent and reliable performance
• Unique density allows anthracite to be combined with other filtration media in multi-media filters
• Lower uniformity coefficient has less oversized and undersized particles resulting in a highly uniform bed
