While anthracite is often considered a higher grade of coal due to its higher fixed carbon content, our experience across thousands of projects delivering potable water, wastewater and desalination applications has consistently demonstrated the distinct advantages of our select bituminous based coal.

Our Australian Filter Coal has a lower fixed carbon content than Anthracite Coal. However, this is proven to not affect filtration ability. Our Australian Filter coal superior hardness also contributes to greater resistance to abrasion and breakdown, ultimately prolonging the lifespan of the operating filter. Choosing bituminous coal can also be a more cost-effective solution, given the relative scarcity and higher cost of imported anthracite.
