Oil, gas and petrochemical markets are growing rapidly in India and Southeast Asia.

The Indian petrochemical market, valued at U.S. $ 70 billion, is one of the petrochemical markets in the world's fastest growing, with more than 10% per year. Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IndianOil), flagship of the energy industry in India, built a complex consisting of a Naphtha Cracker very large, adjacent to its existing refinery of 12 mmpta (million metric tons per year), Panipat, near Delhi in northern India. For this project, IndianOil has decided to outsource its requirements for oxygen and nitrogen, under a long-term contract with Air Liquide.

Adsorption is a process where a solid is used to remove water soluble substance. In this process the activated carbon is the solid. Activated carbon is produced specifically to reach a very large internal surface area (between 500-1500 m 2 / g). The large internal surface area makes the charcoal has an ideal adsorption. The activated carbon comes in two variations: Powdered activated carbon (PAC) and granular activated charcoal (CAG).

Activated carbon is used for example in the following processes: Groundwater Purification Dechlorination of water
Water treatment for swimming pools Refinement of treated wastewater The water refining process consists of passing water to a tank or travez activated charcoal filter. This method is highly efficient for removing chlorine, odor and taste of water, and solid heavy metals (lead, mercury) in water.
