Product Applications

Batch treatment with Nuchar powdered carbon is a cost effective way to achieve purity and color targets using minimal capital equipment where dosage levels may vary. The capital expense of fixed bed granular carbon vessels and piping systems can be avoided with batch mixing and filter press/leaf filters to remove the carbon.
