BAU-LV activated carbon is made of wood charcoal obtained of birch wood by treating it with water steam at a temperature higher than 8000C with its prior or following crushing and screening. Each manufactured batch of activated carbon is tested by Technology Department by indicators for compliance with TU requirements, as well as by a number of additional indicators important in determining quality of activated carbon used in distillery industry for sorting processing.
Activated carbon BAU-LV TU 20.14.72-001-06343907-2017 was developed by OOO “Tekhnosorb” in order to improve efficiency of water-alcohol mixtures processing. Catalytic activity of carbon BAU-LV, which is higher than of carbon BAU-A, and its sorption activity allow production of vodka of different physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics.
Birch-based activated carbon is characterized by a highly developed through-porous structure, which enhances the effect of sorting treatment by reducing channelling at long-term use, and also birch activated carbon micropores are smaller in size.
This activated carbon is mainly used for treatment of water-alcohol solutions at distillery plants.
