Filtration Equipment
TV-Adsorbers
Vapor Phase : 1000, 2000, 3000
The Transportable Vapor Phase Adsorbers are fabricated from mild steel. All units have two part epoxy coatings on the inside and industrial enamel on the outside to give a long service life. Steel FNPT inlet / outlet fittings are connected to PVC internals for corrosion resistance. The TV-3000 has an internal carbon support grate and polypropylene retention screen. The units have forklift access, lifting lugs, and a screened drain and 22 inch top manhole. GC C-40 pelletized virgin, bituminous coal base carbon is standard. Other virgin coal, coconut shell, reactivated or impregnated carbons are available. |

Installation & Start Up
TV Series adsorbers require no special procedure for start up. Remove the shipping plugs from the inlet and outlet and make the proper connections to your system. The unit is now ready for service and can be started up. Unions or quick connect fittings are recommended if the unit will be disconnected frequently. Multiple units are usually connected in series with testing advised between the units to determine when the first unit needs to be changed out.
Maintenance
When in use, the only maintenance the TV Units require is testing for contaminants in the influent and effluent streams, and checking the operating pressure of the system. Monitoring the contaminant concentration level into the last unit in a series arrangement is the recommended safeguard against having breakthrough in the final outflow. When the concentration of contaminants in the flow coming out of the lead unit equals the concentration of the flow into the unit, the unit has reached its removal capacity and should be removed from service. The working life of each adsorber is dependent upon the type of contaminant in the air as well as its concentration and the air flow rate. A pressure relief device is advised to prevent damage to the adsorber in the event of excessive pressure buildup.
Recharging
Once the carbon is saturated by contaminants, the unit should be taken off line. If connected in a series mode, the next down stream unit should be moved into the lead position and a fresh unit put at the end of the train. All shipping plugs must be replaced when the unit is to be transported. To purchase replacement carbon or to arrange for a carbon change out, please contact our office.
Disposal
Dispose of the spent carbon in accordance with Federal, State and Local regulations.
Caution!
Wet activated carbon removes oxygen from air causing a severe hazard to workers inside carbon vessels. Confined space/low oxygen procedures should be put in place before any entry is made. Such procedures should comply with all applicable local, state and federal guidelines.
