Hyera’s Eco-Friendly Activated Carbon Products
Hyera is pioneering the production of sustainable activated carbon, offering eco-friendly alternatives for diverse industries. Unlike traditional methods that consume nonrenewable resources like coal and other unsustainable raw materials, Hyera’s innovative process uses sustainable materials such as nut shells (including almonds, walnuts, and hazelnuts) and sustainable forestry wood sources. This approach not only reduces carbon emissions but also helps maintain stringent quality standards, ensuring exceptional performance across a wide range of applications.
Granular & Powdered Activated Carbon Solutions
High-performance. Sustainably made. Purpose-built.
Hyera is proud to offer two core forms of activated carbon: granular activated carbon (GAC) and powdered activated carbon (PAC). Both play a critical role in modern filtration, treatment, and remediation systems. Delivering high adsorption capacity, fast kinetics, and long-term value across water, air, and industrial applications.
As one of the leading granular activated carbon suppliers and powdered activated carbon suppliers in the U.S., we manufacture all of our products from renewable biomass, not coal or coconut shells, to help clients meet performance targets without compromising sustainability.
Types of Activated Carbon
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)
Granular activated carbon features larger particle sizes and is used in continuous flow systems such as fixed-bed filters. Its granular structure provides a vast internal surface area, making it ideal for high-volume applications requiring long contact time and low-pressure drop.
Hyera’s GAC is produced from sustainable feedstocks like nut shells and forestry by-products, activated under carefully controlled conditions. The result: consistent particle distribution, high porosity, and excellent adsorption efficiency.
Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)
Powdered activated carbon is a fine powder that excels in rapid, batch-based treatment. With smaller particle sizes (<0.18mm), it offers faster kinetics and greater surface area contact, making it ideal for short-duration or emergency treatment needs.
Hyera’s PAC is sustainably produced and highly effective for liquid-phase contaminant removal, odor control, and polishing stages in industrial processes.
Key Applications
Both GAC and PAC are trusted across a wide range of treatment and purification systems. Hyera’s expertise spans the following major use cases
Drinking Water Treatment
Removes organic compounds, chlorine, and harmful substances for clean, safe potable water.
Wastewater Treatment
Enables sustainable reuse and regulatory compliance by adsorbing pollutants and industrial by-products.
PFAS Adsorption/Remediation
Effectively targets and removes per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances from water and soil.
Soil Remediation
Supports soil cleanup projects, capturing contaminants from fuel spills, pesticides, and industrial runoff.
Benefits of GAC & PAC
Whether you need powdered activated carbon or granular activated carbon, Hyera products deliver key benefits:
High Adsorption Capacity
Our carbon solutions are engineered for maximum surface area and pollutant contact, ensuring efficient contaminant removal.
Versatile in Different Environments
From large-scale water plants to specialised industrial applications, GAC and PAC are adaptable to a range of system requirements.
Longevity & Reusability
Granular carbon offers extended life in continuous systems, while PAC allows for precise dosing and targeted treatment.
Fast Kinetics
PAC activated carbon delivers quick results in batch processes, making it ideal for seasonal spikes or emergency interventions.
