Activated carbon in industrial air filtration systems

Written by Cindy Vargas | Jul 16, 2024 7:00:00 AM

Activated carbon is a key technology in industrial air filtration systems. Due to their highly porous structure, achieved through the carbonization and activation of raw materials such as wood, coconut shells, and charcoal, activated carbons provide an extensive surface area for adsorption of pollutants.

This technology effectively removes a wide range of harmful chemicals from the air, improving the quality of the work environment and contributing to the health and safety of workers.

What is the purpose of activated carbon in filtration systems?

Activated carbons are used in air filtration systems derived from industrial processes to improve air quality by removing harmful gaseous pollutants and vapors. The adsorption capacity of activated carbon makes them effective tools in air purification, contributing to health protection and the creation of safer working environments.

In particular, activated carbon filters are used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs), creating a cleaner working environment that complies with environmental regulations.

What are the advantages of using activated carbon in air filtration systems?

  • Adsorption efficiency: activated carbons have a great ability to adsorb harmful chemicals in the air, ensuring effective purification.
  • Versatility: they are excellent for removing a wide range of pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
  • Sustainability: the main base of activated carbon is of natural origin making them a more sustainable choice than some chemical alternatives.

But that's not all: HFiltration uses specific, high-retention activated carbon to ensure maximum efficiency and long life in its industrial air filtration systems.
