The whole petroleum sector, the production of natural gas and basic chemistry, are highly regulated fields due to the risks that they present to health and to the environment.

They therefore have recourse to treatments in which activated carbon performs a predominant role, consisting in extracting undesirable products carried in the air, water or soil. The activated carbon serves also to refine the chemical products and is used as catalysis support for organic chemistry.

PICA offers high performance and durable activated carbons dedicated to each of these applications: PICACTIF (extraction of solvents) PICACHEM (purification of petrochemical waste), PICAPURE (manufacture of synthetic products), PICATAL (catalysis).
