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 bituminous coal.

Our Australian Filter Coal has a lower fixed carbon content than Anthracite Coal. However, this doesn’t affect filtration ability. Our Australian Filter coal’s 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.

Lead times for Australian Filter Coal orders can vary depending on factors such as order size, specific product requirements, current stock levels and your location. However, we strive to fulfil orders as efficiently as possible. We can provide you with a precise delivery timeframe upon request. We manage the delivery process along the way, from formal quotation to confirmation of order and prompt shipment.
