PT MEGA KARBON NUSANTARA
We manufacture granular activated carbon at our own facility in Tanjungsari, Bogor, West Java. Our carbon is produced for two demanding duties in particular: purifying water, and capturing dissolved metals from industrial process streams.
Iodine number is the figure that decides whether activated carbon is right for your application, so we build each grade around the number you need — below 1,000, above 1,000, or 1,200 mg/g — rather than asking you to work around a fixed catalogue.
We serve small trial quantities and large recurring contracts on the same terms of quality, and we publish our independent laboratory figures openly so you can compare before you commit.

Size Options
Three Mesh Fractions
Granule size sets the balance between contact time and pressure drop in your filter bed. Tell us the duty and we will recommend the fraction.
Mesh 4x8
Coarse
Largest granule. Low pressure drop — suited to high-flow filter beds.
Mesh 6x12
Medium
The general-purpose fraction, balancing contact time against flow resistance.
Mesh 8x30
Fine
Highest surface area per bed volume for demanding adsorption duty.

Where Our Carbon Works
Water purification
Removing colour, odour, chlorine and dissolved organics from drinking water, process water and wastewater streams.
Metal capture
Adsorbing dissolved metals from industrial process liquids — one of the two applications our carbon is produced for.
Industrial filtration
General-purpose adsorption duty where high pure-carbon content and a clean, dust-free granule matter.
Packaging
Packaging Option
Activated carbon adsorbs moisture from the air, so packing is part of the specification — not an afterthought.
Lined 25 kg sacks
Woven sacks with a sealed inner liner, so ambient moisture never reaches the pore structure in storage or transit.
Weighed per bag
Every bag is weighed as it is filled, so net weight per sack stays consistent across the batch.
Stacked ready to load
Sealed sacks stack flat and travel palletised — tell us your handling equipment and container plan and we pack around it.

We would rather show you than tell you. Buyers and partners are welcome at our Tanjungsari facility to walk the production line, watch a batch being activated, and see how quality control is run before carbon is packed.
