Beverage Industry

Vadivel Cocotech offers a range of products that make a special impact in the beverage and bottled water industry. Geared to ensure correct taste, colour and odour, our products include superior powdered and granular carbons specifically designed to retain the organoleptic character of the beverage. The unparalleled adsorptive capacity together with the excellent filtration characteristics enables our products to effectively capture colour precursors and other low, medium and high molecular weight organics.

The lower dechlorination half values of the products contribute to faster and efficient removal of residual chlorines and chloramines as well as possible reaction products such as trihalomethanes. The superior features of having a low dust and ash content, absence of heavy metal contaminants such as Arsenic and inherent hardness of the granular products have made Vadivel Cocotech Activated Carbon the preferred industry choice of beverage and bottled water giants.

Bottling Water Treatment

Bottled water is a user friendly and convenient access to drinking water and an infinitely popular industry. Vadivel Cocotech offers robust purification solutions for this commercial trade focusing on the removal of residual disinfectants such as chlorine and chloramines, disinfection by-products such as trihalomethanes (THMs) as well as compounds affecting the colour, odour and taste of water.

The intricate pore network and superior adsorption features engineered into Vadivel Cocotech products allows maximum adsorption of contaminant molecules from the water stream while having a low dust and ash content, absence of heavy metal contaminants such as Arsenic and inherent hardness ensure minimum leaching of contaminants from the carbon and longer life cycles.

Carbonated Drinks and Alcohol (Soft Drinks)

Clean and pure water is a primary requirement in commodity beverage products, in most occasions as a raw material. Vadivel Cocotech Activated Carbon water series has tailor made products for a wide array of water treatment applications in the production of carbonated drinks and alcoholic beverages. Our carbons allow effective adsorption of a diverse range of water contaminant chemicals including, organics, residual disinfectants such as chlorine and chloramines, disinfection by-products such as trihalomethanes (THMs), colour bodies, colour precursors as well as taste distorting molecular species.

The intrinsic hardness of our products ensures longer life cycle of the carbon while the low dust, low ash and , absence of heavy metal contaminants such as Arsenic reflects the high purity guarantees in Vadivel Cocotech activated carbon products.
