Western Carbons was formed in 1995 to produce Anthracite Filter Media for the water industry. We are located in the South Wales anthracite coalfield from where we obtain our raw material. Over the years our customers have recognized our dedication to quality, supply and service so now we are the major supplier of Filtration Anthracite in the UK. Fifty percent of our product is exported to over 28 countries.

We now supply the full filter media service. In conjunction with a major filter sand producer we now provide the complete package of manufacture, supply and installation of all types of filter media.

Our filter media pumps have been specially designed to provide the service that clients expect. They are small, quiet and efficient, being able to pump filter media at the rate of 30 tonnes per hour over a distance of 200 meters. The flexible delivery hose can reach any part of the water treatment works where ever the filters may be situated. The water used for pumping the media may be recycled as a standard option.

Western Carbons also produces specialist anthracite products for the oil and steel industries. Injection Carbon, Charge Carbon and Anthracite for Disulphide Separators are made to meet the customers exact requirements.

We are committed to continually improve our service and trust that you may find these web pages both informative and useful. Should we be of any further service to you please contact us.
