Properties of Anthracite Filter Media

Anthracite is a natural, high carbon content coal that possesses:

High Porosity & Surface Area: The porous structure of anthracite enhances its ability to trap and retain impurities, making it highly effective in filtration systems.

Hardness & Density: Its high density and hardness enable anthracite to withstand the pressures of filtration without breaking down, ensuring longevity and consistency.

Low Moisture Content: Anthracite has a low moisture absorption rate, which reduces the risk of clogging and maintains high filtration efficiency.
