Resistant
to many chemicals, GENERAL CARBON'S FRP-Series
Liquid Phase Adsorbers are ideal where corrosion
is a primaryconcern.
Rated for 150 PSI, these units can be used effectively
in high pressure applications where there is NO
chance of a vacuum condition. The FRP-Series
tanks come in many sizes to handle a full range
of liquid flows. Made with an internal bladder wrapped
in fiberglass, these filament wound vessels are
ideal for filtration using activated carbon, resins
or other filter media. Food grade internals are
standard along with a wide selection of inlet/outlet
sizes. Easy use automatic valves are available for
unattended operation.

1 - Flow Rate at Maximum Recommended Loading
of 5 gpm/sq ft Bed Cross Section Area.
2 - Pounds of Carbon is for Density of 28#/cu. ft. and allowing
25% Bed Expansion for Backwash.
Installation
& Startup -
FRP-Series adsorbers are shipped empty along
with the required carbon. The adsorber should be
connected and all fittings pressure tested for leaks
before the carbon is installed through the top access
hole. A vacuum relief device is advised to prevent
tank damage. After the carbon has been loaded, the
unit should be filled with clean water through the
bottom collector, and allowed to degas for 8-12
hours if possible. Backwashing the carbon is recommended
to remove carbon fines that can cause excessive
pressure drop through the unit.
Maintenance
- The only
maintenance that FRP-Series adsorbers require
is the testing of effluent quality, and the checking
of the operating pressure of the system. Monitoring
the contaminant level into the last unit in a series
arrangement is the recommended safeguard against
having breakthrough in the final outflow.
Servicing
FRP-Tanks
- Once an adsorber's carbon is saturated by contaminants,
the unit should be taken off line and fresh carbon
installed. To purchase replacement carbon or to
arrange for a carbon change out, please contact
our office. When preparing the unit to be serviced,
as much water as possible should be drained from
the vessel.
WARNING! Wet
activated carbon removes oxygen from air causing
a severe hazard to workers inside carbon vessels.
Confined space/low oxygen procedures should be
put in place before any entry is made. Such procedures
should comply with all applicable local, state
and federal guidelines.
