Product Introduction

The targeted molecular chemical filter uses a restrained bed of activated alumina, activated carbon or chemically impregnated pellets inside a perforated metal panel or cartridge. Unlike a broad-spectrum odor panel, the media chemistry is selected for the dominant contaminant family: acid gases, ammonia and amines, oxidizing gases, sulfur compounds or VOCs. Vibratory filling produces an even packed bed and reduces settlement voids, while fine retaining screens contain the pellets. Standardized panel or modular cartridge dimensions allow the filter to be used in supply, recirculation and process-exhaust housings.

Key Features

Adsorbent chemistry can be matched to acid, base, sulfur, oxidant or organic molecular contaminants.

Vibration-packed granular media reduces voids that would otherwise create untreated air channels.

Perforated metal faces and fine retaining screens support an even air path through the entire bed.

Refillable metal construction can support scheduled media replacement without discarding the outer frame.

Customer Product Concerns

Different gaseous contaminants interact with adsorbents in different ways, so a generic carbon panel may leave the dominant corrosive or reactive gas untreated.

Broad-spectrum carbon has limited capacity for the primary acid or basic gas.Impregnated carbon or activated-alumina chemistry is selected for the actual contaminant family.

Granular media settles and leaves a bypass void at the top of the panel.Vibratory filling, internal compression and retaining screens maintain a dense uniform bed.

Fine adsorbent dust migrates downstream toward sensitive equipment.Fine support scrims and a downstream particulate stage retain media fines.

A disposable panel generates unnecessary waste during frequent media changes.A refillable stainless or galvanized cartridge allows the spent pellets to be replaced separately.

Typical Applications
