Anthracite Filter Media
Crushed and graded anthracite coal is the most widely used granular media for rapid gravity and pressure filtration in water and wastewater treatment. Its angular particle structure and lower density compared to sand provide superior head loss characteristics and excellent turbidity removal efficiency. Used as the upper layer in dual-media (anthracite over sand) or multi-media filter beds.
