Carbon Adsorption Beds

For adsorbing volatile gases and odours from air streams. They are ideal when concentrations are low, and when the air volume is relatively large. Activated carbon is a crude form of graphite with a highly porous structure, into which the gaseous molecules are adsorbed and captured.

Different grades of carbon have different adsorption capabilities. Carbon impregnated with caustic compounds can be used to improve removal efficiencies for compounds such as hydrogen sulphide. It is important that the right grade of carbon be used for your specific project.

Carbon adsorption beds are made from corrosion resistant fibreglass.

USES
•Removing hydrogen sulphide from sewer gases
•Odour control
•Solvent recovery
•Air purification
•As final stage after a wet scrubber or biological scrubber

LIFE CYCLE COST ANALYSIS
LCC analysis is used to determine the most cost effective choice of scrubing technology. For example, for removing hydrogen sulphide from sewer gases vented from a pump station, carbon bed adsorbers are best below 10ppm. We have prepared a LCC analysis in the following pdf file.
