Overview
The UltraSorber-CNS™ is a high activity, granular activated carbon manufactured from selected grades of coconut shell. The granular shape of this carbon maximizes its geometric surface area, significantly increasing surface and pore diffusion rates and thereby increasing its effectiveness for the adsorption of VOCs with a short contact time. The high surface area and predominately microporous pore size distribution further enhance the effectiveness of this coconut shell based carbon.
Features
• Specifically manufactured from coconut shells
• Long life expectancy and removal efficiency
• Excellent hardness
• High surface area and micropore structure
• Less carbon changeouts, less dust and fines
• High adsorption capacity, lower pre-soak times, readily wettable
• Packaged in bags, totes, and super sacs
Applications
• Chemical process applications
• VOC control from air strippers, soil vapor extraction and air sparge systems
• Control of tank vent emissions
• HVAC
• Odor control
• Solvent recovery of low boiling point solvents
• Use as a catalyst/catalyst support
