Most people make the mistake of assuming that all coal is the same. The fact is that there are different types of coals and each one of them has their own characteristics and properties. Anthracite coal is the oldest and cleanest type of coal available. It is a highly carbonated form of coal and is the hardest variety known to man. As the anthracite coal is low in ash and sulfur, it is very much in demand across various industries.
PS Anthracite manufactures high quality, dry and low uniformity coefficient anthracite filter material.
PS Anthracite offers a customized comparative analysis between the uniformity coefficient of 1.3 and the traditional higher uniformity coefficients. The analysis summarizes the annual savings realized from reduced fresh water use.
Our filter media systems provide water and wastewater facilities cost savings to allow utilities to remain competitive by reducing costs. PS Anthracite offers filter media systems designed to fit municipal systems need and budgets.
