Activated carbon removes organic chemicals from waste or process streams in the liquid or vapour phase. Generally, high molecular weight contaminants are more effectively removed by activated carbon than are low molecular weight contaminants.

Filter Innovations can predict the effectiveness and capacity of activated carbon in your application. Useful for project planning, costing and treatment system sizing, activated carbon usage estimates are arrived at through adsorption isotherm based computer modeling.

With the activated carbon usage estimate and other specific information Filter Innovations will recommend the proper activated carbon treatment system for your unique situation.

Planning for the operation of your activated carbon adsorption system begins before adsorber selection and installation. This way the cost of spent carbon handling and recycling are minimized. Issues include site location; system size, waste characterization, operator experience and shipment to the reactivation facility or the spent adsorber can be shipped directly to the facility to eliminate waste handling at your site.
