Superior Coal Dust
Product description
Distinguished by its superior thermal and calorific properties, consistent volatiles content and very low sulphur levels, our coal dust stands out for creating a superior, lustrous finish on iron castings.
The absence of foreign impurities and deleterious matter adds to its reliability, ensuring a high-quality end-product. With a proven track record for continuous casting, it’s reliable and high-performing for ferrous foundry and green sand moulding applications.

Projects
Sydney Desalination
Plant
In response to declining water levels, Sydney Water obtained approval for a Seawater Desalination Plant. Pilot testing favoured coarse dual-media filtration. We supplied C & S Brand Australian Filter Coal, on time and to exact specification.
Qurayyat Desalination
Plant
This plant is in operation to address water shortages in Muscat, Oman and surrounds. We supplied 2,210 cubic metres of C & S Brand Australian Filter Coal, delivered on time, to exact specifications.
Dungog WTP
This was the first contact filtration plant in Australia to use large effective size media, after pilot plant work by the Hunter Water Corporation. It was also the first to use C & S Brand Australian Filter Coal and remains an industry frontrunner with long-term results, durability and consistency.
Barangaroo Lendlease
Grand Casino
We supplied premium C&S Brand Australian Activated Carbon while transforming a former gas works site into a modern casino and hotel, effectively eliminating odours and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and adding to Sydney’s evolving skyline.
Mt Crosby
Eastbank
This refurbishment project included converting 20 mono-media sand filters to dual-media filters with C&S Brand Australian Filter Coal. It extended filter run times, reduced backwashing frequency and improved plant performance, surpassing client expectations.
