Effective VOC removal and odour reduction in industrial settings using activated carbon filters - thanks to their large filter surface area and adsorption capacity.
VOC reduction & odour control
Activated Carbon Filters for Air Cleaning
Odour emissions can be not only unpleasant and bothersome but also hazardous to health. These emissions are typically caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or inorganic compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3). There are regulatory limits for such components in exhaust air that must be adhered to. Even minimal concentrations can cause significant odour nuisances.
Activated carbon filters adsorb pollutants from the exhaust air, trapping them on the surface of the activated carbon and effectively reducing odour levels. By combining carbon adsorption filters for exhaust air purification with our patented COPLAS clean plasma technology, volatile organic compounds and odour concentrations can be effectively reduced, while significantly extending the service life of the activated carbon.
Advantages & Features
Industrial exhaust air purification using activated carbon filters
Industrial activated carbon filters are a widely used method for removing VOCs, pollutants, and odours from exhaust air. Discover the benefits of using carbon adsorption filters for VOC abatement and odour control in industrial applications:
Effective VOC Abatement
Reliable reduction of VOCs, pollutants, and odours in industrial exhaust air. Elimination of pollutant-laden components in the exhaust air through adsorption using activated carbon.
Regulatory-Compliant Exhaust Air Purification
Compliance with legal limits for VOCs, pollutants, and odour emissions in the production environment and surrounding areas. Minimization of the risk of complaints and fines from authorities, as well as avoidance of production restrictions.
Insensitive to Process Fluctuations
No impact on the adsorption performance of the activated carbon filter under varying operating conditions. No need for system adjustments or shutdowns.
Low Investment Costs
Low initial installation and commissioning costs for activated carbon filters for exhaust air purification. Replacement of the activated carbon is required when saturation occurs.
Process Combination
Compatibility with additional technologies, especially our patented plasma technology COPLAS clean for odour reduction.
Optional Configurations
On request, the activated carbon filter can be customized with features such as automatic monitoring of filter breakthrough. Option for outdoor installation.
Choose Riedel Filtertechnik GmbH and benefit from our extensive experience, innovative technologies, and comprehensive service in the field of industrial exhaust air purification.
Functionality & Application
Use of Activated Carbon Filters for VOC Abatement & Odour Control
An industrial activated carbon filter purifies exhaust air by binding pollutants through adsorption. The exhaust air flows through a bed of porous activated carbon, which offers a large internal surface area. Pollutants in the air adhere to the surface of the activated carbon, thereby cleaning the air. When the activated carbon becomes saturated, the filter must be replaced or regenerated. Activated carbon filters are particularly suitable for VOC removal and odour reduction. The efficiency of the adsorption filter depends on the pore size, adsorption capacity, and contact time of the activated carbon with the exhaust air.
Combination of Activated Carbon Filters with COPLAS clean Plasma Technology
Traditional alternative technologies for VOC removal and odour reduction, such as biofilters or thermal combustion, have some significant drawbacks:
- High environmental impact
- Significant fire and explosion hazards
- Low efficiency
- High space requirements
Activated carbon filters also have the disadvantage of high ongoing costs in extensive industrial applications due to the need to replace the activated carbon once it is saturated. At Riedel Filtertechnik, we therefore rely on the combination of various technologies for optimal treatment of your contaminated exhaust air. Our patented COPLAS clean plasma technology usually serves as the core of our solutions, with industrial activated carbon filters applied as an additional filtration stage.
