Activated Carbon Filter

Procedural Principle

The contaminated air is passed through the fixed bed for adsorption. The filters are equipped as standard with a mesh base to hold the molded activated carbon. To meet your needs, we offer everything from easy-to-handle drum filters to large 40" industrial container filters. For smaller filters, the entire unit is replaced when the activated carbon becomes saturated. For larger container filters, the carbon is replaced using quick-change systems.

Advantages

Versatile • Easy to use • Quick adaptation to changing operating conditions • Reliable compliance with required exhaust air values • Modular design: ideal for series and parallel operation

Other sizes available upon request. Take advantage of our attractive rental service.

In addition to Activated Carbon

In addition to providing activated carbon for exhaust air purification, our activated carbon service offers professional maintenance, replacement, and disposal—ensuring consistently safe and efficient system performance.

Basic Equipment

Tank designs in plastic, electrically conductive PE, steel, and stainless steel • Perforated bottom and support grate • Filling and replacement openings • Measurement and sampling openings

Optional Equipment

Pressure-boosting fans • Break detection • Water separators • Air preheaters (relative drying) • Dust filters • Low- and high-pressure versions • Special coatings • Insulated versions • Supply and exhaust ductwork and hose systems

FAQ's

What types of pollutants are activated carbon filters effective against?

Activated carbon filters are particularly effective at removing VOCs, solvents, hydrocarbons, odorous substances, and organic vapors from industrial exhaust air streams.

How does an activated carbon filter work in an exhaust system?

The contaminated exhaust air is passed through a fixed bed of activated carbon. As it passes through, the contaminants are adsorbed onto the surface of the activated carbon, while the purified air exits the filter.

How is the loaded activated carbon replaced?

For smaller filters, entire filter units are replaced; for larger container filters, the activated carbon is replaced using quick-change systems to minimize downtime. 

Is an activated carbon filter the right exhaust air solution for my application?

Whether an activated carbon filter is the best solution depends on the type of contaminant, its concentration, and the flow rate. Prantner provides personalized advice and designs the right filtration solution for you. Use our process selection tool now!
