Product features
Construction and performance
- Used in a wide range of air purification and vapour phase applications for general odour removal, cooking odours, exhaust fumes, ammonia and its derivatives, formaldehyde and other airborne pollutants.
- A series of carbon panels mounted in a sealed case.
- Panels made using long established bonding techniques, with the carbon encapsulated in carbon impregnated cloth to prevent any leakage of granules or powder.
- Each carbon panel is sealed into the case so no air can bypass the carbon.
- Used on supply to purify incoming air, or on extract to remove toxic gases and odours from a process.
- Loose fill or bonded carbon, depending on the odours to be removed.
- Depths of 197mm, 292mm, 397mm, 440mm or 597mm.
- Filter class: 50% CTC.
Key benefits
- Bonded solid carbon panels give strong adsorption of offensive odours and hazardous substances, including hydrogen sulphide and ammonia, for cleaner indoor air.
- Carbon loadings from 18kg to 67kg cover a wide range of air volumes and contact times.
Typical applications
- Hydrogen sulphide
- Ammonia
- Kitchens and cooking odours
- Exhaust fumes
- Process extract
- Supply air purification
