Manufacturers, Exporters, Suppliers of Activated Carbon in Bengaluru

Innovacorp is a manufacturer, exporter, and supplier of activated carbon for sugar refineries in Bengaluru and across Karnataka — powder activated carbon (PAC) and granular activated carbon (GAC) for melt liquor treatment, syrup decolorization, and refinery polishing. The carbon is a porous adsorbent designed to remove colourants, residual organic impurities, and off-odour compounds from cane and beet sugar streams.

Why Activated Carbon Matters in Sugar Refining

Refinery melt liquor carries natural pigments — polyphenols, caramels, and melanoidins — that darken the final sugar. Colour is the parameter that decides whether a refinery can deliver ICUMSA 45 or ICUMSA 100, and it is the parameter most sensitive to carbon performance. Anyone who has run a refinery through a difficult cane season knows that colour load rises before anything else does, and that the carbon program is what holds the line. The right grade, at the right dose, with the right contact time, is what delivers the colour target.

Where Our Activated Carbon Is Used in Bengaluru Refineries

• Melt liquor treatment: colour and impurity removal ahead of crystallisation.
• Syrup decolorization: polishing of refinery syrup before pan boiling.
• Refinery decolorization: final colour correction for ICUMSA 45 and ICUMSA 100 grades.
• Water treatment: organic and colour removal in boiler feed and process water.
• Pharma and food applications: API purification and food-grade decolorization where the grade is confirmed against the relevant standard.

Types We Manufacture, Export & Supply in Bengaluru

• Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC): high-activity carbon for batch treatment and rapid decolorization in refinery melt liquor.
• Granular Activated Carbon (GAC): for fixed-bed columns and continuous syrup treatment.
• Grades by iodine value: available in 900, 1000, and 1100 mg/g iodine value to match the colour load and contact time.
• Grades by substrate: coconut shell, coal-based, and wood-based, each with a different pore structure for different applications.

Specifications

Property	Typical Value
Appearance	Black powder or granules
Iodine value	900 / 1000 / 1100 mg/g (grade dependent)
Moisture content	< 10%
Ash content	Grade dependent; confirmed on TDS
Bulk density	0.35 – 0.55 g/cc (grade dependent)
pH (aqueous extract)	6.0 – 9.0 (grade dependent)
Shelf life	24 months in unopened original packing

Final specification is confirmed on the technical data sheet for each grade.

Application and Dosage

Dosage depends on the colour load, the carbon grade, and the contact time. Typical starting points:

• Melt liquor treatment (PAC): 0.05%–0.30% on syrup solids, adjusted to colour load.
• Syrup decolorization (PAC): 0.05%–0.20% on syrup solids, confirmed on jar test.
• Fixed-bed GAC: bed volume and contact time per column design; carbon replacement based on colour breakthrough.
• Water treatment: per TDS, adjusted to organic load and target colour removal.

These are starting points only. Final dose is set after a lab trial on your syrup or melt sample and confirmed on a plant trial.

Technical Support in Bengaluru

Activated carbon performance depends on the colour load, the carbon grade, and the contact time. We work with your process and lab team on jar tests, grade selection, and dose setting so the carbon program performs on your refinery. Support is available across Bengaluru and Karnataka.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What types of activated carbon do you supply in Bengaluru?

We manufacture, export and supply powder activated carbon (PAC) and granular activated carbon (GAC) for sugar decolorization, water treatment, and pharma applications in Bengaluru. The right grade depends on the application, the iodine value requirement, and the process conditions.

2. Which activated carbon is used for sugar decolorization in Bengaluru refineries?

Sugar refineries typically use PAC for melt liquor and syrup decolorization. The iodine value and particle size depend on the colour load and the refinery's filtration setup. We confirm the grade with your process team after a lab trial.

3. What iodine value grades do you supply in Bengaluru?

We supply activated carbon in multiple iodine value grades — typically 900, 1000, and 1100 mg/g — for different applications. The right grade depends on the colour load, the contact time, and the filtration setup. Call +91-9312871070 to discuss your requirement.

4. Do you supply activated carbon in bulk in Bengaluru?

Yes. We manufacture, export and supply in 25 kg, 50 kg, and 500 kg jumbo bags to sugar refineries, water treatment plants, and pharma units across Bengaluru and Karnataka. Call +91-9312871070 to discuss your requirements.
