Activated carbon filtration of exhaust air

Industrial exhaust air

Compliance with pollutant limits set by the German Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control requires exhaust air treatment through activated carbon in order to fulfill administrative restrictions. During the filtration process, hazardous hydrocarbon compounds are absorbed by activated carbon and leave the exhaust air free of these compounds.

Adsorption process:

Via a pipeline system, the air to be cleaned is led into an adsorber filled with activated carbon. Through adsorption of pollutants on the surface of the activated carbon, the exhaust air is cleaned during its dwelling time in the adsorber. Activated carbon is a product with a porous structure and a large inner surface. This structure allows the activated carbon to adsorb hydrocarbon compounds and hence clean exhaust air from them.

BROCKHAUS ENVIRONMENT offers standard-sized activated carbon filters with a capacity from 280l up to 25.000l. Additionally, all special sizes can be delivered. The filters are constructed corrosion-proof and pressure-resistant. Depending on project requirements and customer demands, activated carbon filters are made of either stainless steel, coated or lacquered steel or plastic.
