Pellet Activated Carbon is created by extruding activated carbon into cylindrical shaped pellets with diameters ranging from 0.8 to 8 mm. Their high activity and surface area make it ideal for many vapor phase applications. The uniformity of its shape makes it particularly useful in applications where low-pressure drop is a consideration.

Pellet Activated Carbon has a wide variety of uses removing contaminants such as volatile organic compounds (VOC's) and mercury from natural gas as well as controlling odor.
