Activated carbon can be regenerated several times while retaining the same adsorption capacity. Regeneration offers substantial cost savings and restores the carbon to 97% or greater of its original adsorption capacity. In addition to adsorptive capacity, the recycling of spent granular or extruded carbon eliminates the need for incineration or landfill disposal.
As part of our regeneration services suite, we transport spent activated carbon filters from our customers’ plants to our regeneration facility. The spent carbon is transported hydraulically to our tanks in a closed loop system to prevent any contamination of the surrounding area by the pollutants adsorbed onto the carbon. We then thermally regenerate the carbon to its original performance levels. We also service the filter components and eliminate all contaminants within the filter at our site before refilling it with the regenerated carbon as well as some virgin carbon for return to the customer’s plant.
Haycarb guarantees that the regenerated carbon meets the performance levels of the original carbon supplied.
Haycarb also provides technical advice, systems design, engineering support and installation of regeneration systems onsite.
Classic regeneration of spent activated carbon is performed off-site in a furnace, rotary kiln or multiple hearth furnaces. The thermal regeneration process is similar to that used to manufacture the original activated carbon and is especially used where large tonnages of granular activated carbon are involved. Thermal regeneration can regenerate spent gas phase granular activated carbons where the adsorbed impurities have a high boiling point or are very strongly adsorbed, and for spent liquid phase activated carbons used in water treatment.
Some activated carbon particles will break during handling and the regeneration process burns off some of the activated carbon to produce slightly smaller particles on average. This loss will be made up with fresh input of virgin material.
The number of times GACs can be regenerated and the periods between regeneration vary significantly depending on the type of carbon and on its application. In solvent recovery, GAC can be used for up to 5,000 cycles.

Our forward integration strategy of developing the purification equipment and environmental engineering systems segment of business is undertaken by our subsidiary Puritas (Pvt) Ltd. Puritas is well positioned with the necessary strategic alliances and internal competencies to break into the large and medium scale water usage project market that post war Sri Lanka offers.
Puritas (Pvt) Ltd has been in the forefront of providing water and wastewater solutions with over 250 treatment plants in Sri Lanka and the Republic of Maldives, treating over 20 million litres of water and wastewater per day. With over 19 years of experience in the purification industry, Puritas (Pvt) Ltd, a fully owned subsidiary of Haycarb engages in providing a wide range of products and services to cater diversified needs in the environmental engineering sphere.
‘Lakdiyatha’ is established to undertake Build Operate Transfer (BOT) infrastructure needs on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) platform. It is a result of exclusive collaboration with Veolia Water, world’s leading operator in water services, formed as a joint venture between Veolia Water India and Puritas (Pvt.) Ltd
Acclaimed for implementing first ever BOT project on PPP platform in the water & wastewater sector in Sri Lanka, as the Rs 185 million investment. Lakdiyatha Passikudah’ facility is a centralized treatment plant to the National Holiday Resort in Passikudah comprising of 930 rooms in fourteen hotels.
Treatment plant consists of approximately 12 Kilometer network connecting 14 hotels and other common areas within the Holiday Resort to the centralized treatment plant to treat and recycle the wastewater back to the hotels for irrigation, ensuring a pollution free Passikudah bay. Lakdiyatha designed and built the plant and will operate it for 20 years.
Puritas (Pvt) Ltd commissioned its first Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant in D10 Maithreepura, Padaviya under their CSR project, ‘Puritas Sath Diyawara’ on the 15th of August 2014. Funded, designed and constructed by the Haycarb group, under the guidance of the National Water Supply and Drainage Board, this plant will provide purified potable water for nearly 1,500 inhabitants in the area. This will directly contribute to the efforts to mitigate the spread of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in the North Central province and uplift the socio-economic conditions of the people of that region.
Studies indicate that an approximately 400,000 people are currently affected by CKD, of which men between the ages of 15 – 60 years are the most vulnerable. Providing purified water is found to be the key solution not only to eliminate CKD but to reverse the effects of those affected by it.
The technology used is reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filtration along with customized pre- and post-treatment technologies depending on the quality parameters of the raw water source.

At Haycarb, we have a mandate to nurture and sustain a healthier environment by preventing pollution in our production processes and all areas of application of our products. In over 40 years of operations, we’ve emphasized a ‘Green’ way of life: all the way from generating our electrical requirement from waste gases to developing the world’s first line of ‘green’ carbon products and reducing our carbon footprint by an impressive 137% over the last 10 years.
Haycarb’s patented green charcoaling process is used to develop its line of NeutroCarb Premium Activated Carbons featuring the smallest carbon footprint of any activated carbon currently available in the market. NeutroCarb is a global industry first.
The coconut shells are dried using waste heat from the process and charcoaled in mechanical reactors where there is no release of pollutant gasses into the atmosphere.
The pollutants (green house and acidic gasses) released during the manufacture of charcoal are combusted in a boiler to generate steam that is in turn converted to electricity via a steam turbine.
The electricity generated is utilized to operate the plant with the excess supplied to the national grid.
Prevents the release of 890 tons per annum of Methane gas, otherwise released during traditional charcoaling, to the atmosphere, equivalent to 18,700 tons of carbon dioxide per annum.
The substitution of fossil fuel based power generation by this renewable process prevents a further 32,000 tons per annum of carbon dioxide (that would not have been carbon-neutral) from being released to the atmosphere.
The prevention of greenhouse gas emissions is approximately eight tons for every ton of activated carbon produced.
Once charcoal is received from our patented ‘Green’ charcoaling process, it is converted to the NeutroCarb range of activated carbon through our eco-friendly activation and finishing processes.
All activities in the production process are geared towards reducing the carbon footprint of our activated carbon.
