James-Cumming C & S - Filter Coal
C & S Brand Australian Filter Coal is an industrial Filter Coal with optimal uniformity coefficient, consisting of hard, durable cubic subangular particles, free of clay, shale and impurities.
Manufactured in our plant with consistent particle sizing, it is clean with minimal fines, resulting in lower scraping losses during filter installation and significant cost savings.
Our anthracite-type filter media ensures long-term performance, outperforming softer or chemically unstable alternatives. Upgrading from a mono-media sand filter to a dual-media filter with Australian filter coal achieves a 50-100% increase in water filtration efficiency and a significant reduction in backwash rates.
- Woven polypropylene bulk bags of 1.6m3 (approx. 1075kg) capacity with bottom discharge spout and four lifting lugs for crane or forklift handling. Bags can be stored indefinitely indoors or out of direct sunlight under suitable UV cover.
- 1.25m3 (approx. 845kg) bulk bags specifically designed for export containerisation.
- 32.5 litre (approx. 20kg) woven polypropylene sacks shrink-wrapped 42 sacks per pallet.
At James Cumming & Sons, we’ve identified an Australian bituminous coal that generally outperforms imported anthracite coal, meeting or even exceeding the AWWA B100 standard.
The two key factors for filtering suitability are coal hardness and acid solubility. Our extensively tested Australian Filter Coal, with a proven track record in thousands of treatment plants, is a superior choice for potable, wastewater or pretreatment desalination. Anthracite coal is not essential for durability and filtration performance.
