Why Choose Us

At Agglomerated Carbon Works (ACWorks), we’re challenging the status quo as we combine our world-renowned engineering and manufacturing expertise. That’s how we can provide the highest quality, American-made activated carbon products and best-in-class customer service in the industry.

Our Powerful Pelletized Product

Our product stands out from alternatives for four primary reasons.

  • Consistent performance

    Consistent performance

    Our proprietary re-agglomeration process enables the coal particles to be uniformly activated. This results in a more consistent performance compared to direct activation.
  • Low ash content

    Low ash content

    Our carbon products inherently perform better than competitors’ thanks to our unique raw material source, which has the lowest ash content in the industry. This creates a purer product with less leaching potential and a higher percentage of activated carbon available for adsorbing contaminants.
  • Larger particle size

    Larger particle size

    Pelletized carbon has a larger particle size compared to standard granular activated carbon (GAC). In both water and air filtration applications, this larger size significantly reduces pressure-drop losses within the system, thereby reducing associated electricity consumption of associated pumps and fans. This is a major benefit amid the ever-rising costs of operating water and wastewater treatment plants, as well as other industrial filtration applications.
  • Minimal dust generation

    Minimal dust generation

    Our premium pelletized products also exhibit extraordinary hardness and resistance to dust generation during handling and use. This helps your company improve health and safety standards.
american made Agglomerated Carbon

American-Made

We are the first producer of coal-based activated carbon pellets located in the United States. Our company is vertically integrated. The bituminous coal at the core of our products is sourced a few miles away from our production facility in Kentucky, where we proudly design, develop, and manufacture our products. By doing so, we contribute to the U.S. technology sector’s growth and support local talent and resources. Our “Made in America” label expresses our quality, ingenuity, and dedication to the American workforce.

Our domestic-based manufacturing facility provides us with a competitive advantage over the many activated carbon products that are imported to the U.S. Our customers enjoy rapid delivery times (avoiding lengthy international shipping processes) and the reliability of domestic transportation and logistics.
