Product Overview

FHM wood powder activated carbon utilizes high-quality hardwood sawdust processed through controlled steam activation. The product exhibits large specific surface area (>900 m²/g), strong adsorption capacity for haze-forming proteins and polyphenols, and rapid filtration characteristics. Ideal for beer clarification, baijiu (Chinese liquor) decolorization, wine polishing, and distilled spirits purification. The physical activation method ensures no chemical residue concerns for food-grade applications.

Technical Advantages

Rapid Decolorization & Food-Safe Performance

Produced from high-quality wood chips through advanced phosphoric acid chemical activation, our wood activated carbon delivers outstanding methylene blue adsorption (>210-250 mg/g) for rapid liquid-phase decolorization.

The optimized mesopore structure enables efficient removal of color bodies, odors, and impurities in sugar refining, beverage processing, pharmaceutical purification, and edible oil refinement.

With controlled pH (2-5), low iron content (<50 ppm), and excellent filtration characteristics, it meets strict food-grade standards. Available in physical (FHM) and phosphoric acid (LPF) activation methods with 200-mesh powder options for maximum surface contact.

FAQ

Q1: How does FHM improve beer clarity?

A: FHM adsorbs haze-active proteins and polyphenols that cause chill haze and permanent haze in beer, resulting in brilliant clarity and extended shelf stability.

Q2: Will FHM affect beer flavor?

A: When used at recommended dosages (0.1-0.5 kg/1000L), FHM selectively removes haze precursors while preserving desirable flavor compounds. Sensory testing is recommended for new applications.

Q3: Is FHM suitable for craft brewery use?

A: Yes, FHM is ideal for craft breweries requiring batch-to-batch consistency and rapid processing without specialized equipment.

Q4: Can FHM be used in continuous filtration systems?

A: FHM is designed for batch treatment. For continuous systems, consider our granular activated carbon products.

Q5: What is the typical contact time?

A: Optimal results are achieved with 15-30 minutes contact time at 5-10°C, followed by filtration separation.
