Activated Carbon Towers

What Are Activated Carbon Towers?

Activated carbon towers are purification units used in compressed air and gas systems to remove oil vapor, hydrocarbon traces, and odors. They play a critical role in applications where high air quality is required and where downstream equipment or production quality may be affected by residual contaminants.

Working Principle

Activated carbon towers operate by adsorbing oil vapor and organic contaminants onto a specially selected activated carbon media. As compressed air passes through the tower, unwanted vapors and odor-causing compounds are retained by the carbon bed, resulting in cleaner air at the outlet. Depending on the application, these systems are commonly integrated with filtration and drying equipment.

Why Use an Activated Carbon Tower?

In many industrial processes, removing only water and solid particles is not enough. Oil vapor and odor can also create quality, operational, and product-related issues. Activated carbon towers help improve compressed air purity at a more advanced level and support more reliable process conditions.

Advantages

  • Helps remove oil vapor and hydrocarbon residues
  • Improves overall compressed air quality
  • Reduces unwanted odors
  • Supports cleaner air for sensitive applications
  • Can be integrated with filtration and drying systems
  • Available for a wide range of capacities and pressures
  • Durable and reliable industrial design

Capacity and Operating Conditions

Mentis Activated Carbon Towers can be manufactured within the following ranges:

  • Capacity: 1 Nm³/min – 200 Nm³/min
  • Operating pressures: 10 bar(g), 16 bar(g), 20 bar(g), 40 bar(g)
