DESCRIPTION

Catalytic Carbon is a vapor phase virgin activated carbon that has been developed specially for odor removal from sewage treatment operations. This bituminous coal-based product is unique in that it provides high adsorption capacity for H2S without chemical impregnates and adsorbs volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in an effective manner. Catalytic Carbon, by its catalytic functionality, oxidizes H2S and converts it to water-soluble sulfur compounds. As a result, H2S capacity can be restored simply by water washing the carbon, eliminating safety concerns typically encountered with alkali-impregnated carbons.

PRESSURE DROP

The pressure drop is low; at 50 ft./min., the pressure drop is approx. 1.4"/ bed ft. and at 70 FPM it is approx. 2.8"/bed ft.

CAUTION: WET ACTIVATED CARBON DEPLETES OXYGEN FROM AIR.

Whenever workers enter a vessel containing carbon, all precautions must be taken since dangerously low levels of oxygen may be encountered.  Atmosphere sampling and work procedures for potentially low oxygen areas should be followed.
