AquaCite - Anthracite

Anthracite

AquaCite is the produced Anthracite by AQUACO Company. IT IS MADE IN IRAN

The broken and crushed Anthracite which meet the standards demonstrated in European BS-EN12909 Standard and AWWA-B100 American Standard are one of the products offered by our company.

Aquacite (Anthracite) is a black colored lustrous granular material and has granular or angular shapes, amorphous structure and smooth texture.

Concerning ASTM D388-12 Standard and INSO 18204 Iranian national Standard, the anthracite coals must be classified regarding their physical and chemical properties.

Coal classification is determined based on non-volatile Carbon and its thermal value. High quality coals are classified according to the amount of non-volatile carbon in dry conditions and lower quality coals according to the total thermal value in humid conditions.

Coal classification based on carbon content can be seen in the following chart:

Why to use multimedia filters?

AquCite , Anthracite produced by AQUACO, are meant to meet the requirements of two and three media filters. Layers for a two-media filter consist of Anthracite and Silica sands; whereas there is an additional layer of Garnet in three media ones.

Although used widely, Silica sand filters are quite deprecated and new refineries around the world tend to use two media filters. This is also applicable about Iran and its water refinement systems.

The most essential advantage of multimedia filters over the traditional ones is the higher filtration capacity, almost twice more, which will provide the system with approximately 240 square meter per day.

Furthermore, the other advantages are listed below:

These filters are able to withstand high turbidity of inlet water to filter up to about NTU 60 and keep the water quality same.

The better quality of the water compared with single media filters

Less number of backwashes needed. The time between two successive two-layer filters is usually 2 or 3 times better than single-media filters.

Anthracite and AquaCite consumers

Drinking water refineries

Seawater desalination plants

Water treatment plants in public and private pools

Also Aquacite is widely used in Petrochemical cooling towers, refinery systems, Condensate water production plants and etc.

AquaCite packs

Based on our customers’ needs, Anthracite produced in this company are either packed in big bags –jumbo bags- weighing approximately one ton or 25Kg packs.

There are 4 handles on jumbo bags in order to ease the transportation.
