About Donau Carbon
Donau Carbon GmbH, based in Frankfurt am Main, has been active in the activated carbon industry for over 100 years. The company produces and supplies a comprehensive range of powdered, granulated and extruded activated carbons made from hard coal, lignite, coconut shell and wood, manufactured using the standard activation processes. In addition, special activated carbons are produced in the company's own plants, and spent activated carbons are reprocessed in the company's own reactivation facilities in Germany and Austria. At the Frankfurt am Main site, the portfolio also includes repackaging, sieving and impregnation, rental and sale of mobile and stationary activated carbon filters, custom-made adsorber vessels, application consulting, design of adsorption systems and contract analysis in the company's own central laboratory. The activated carbons and sorbents are delivered worldwide; customers include, among others, water and wastewater treatment, air pollution control, natural gas treatment, solvent recovery as well as the food and beverage industry.
