10 SERVICE Equipment for VOC Control

Description

The increasing emphasis on cleaner air presents the industrywith new challenges to control and reduce toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at air emission sources. To help facilities comply with current and future VOC regulations, Calgon Carbonoffers the VAPOR-PAC Your Calgon Carbon Sales Representative can help evaluate thesuitability of the VAPOR-PAC
® 10 Service to satisfy your air treatment requirements. If required, evaluation studies to determine applicability and economics can be arranged. Calgon Carbon offers a wide range of adsorption equipment and activated carbon including permanent installations or smallerservice equipment.
® 10 Service which uses adsorption ongranular activated carbon to remove VOCs from high volume air emissions. The service also minimizes capital expenditures and eliminates on-site spent carbon transfer and regeneration.The VAPOR-PAC
® 10 Service uses a transportable adsorber thatcontains approximately 12,500 pounds of granular activated carbon and can treat air flows up to 10,000 scfm. When the activated carbon's capacity to remove VOCs has been reached,the on-stream adsorber is removed and replaced with one containing fresh carbon. Use of the VAPOR-PAC

Benefits

• Removes toxic VOCs• Eliminates on-site carbon handling• Minimizes spent carbon disposal concerns • No major capital investment required • Wide variety of activated carbons • No on-site equipment required for loading or offloading
® 10 Service minimizes capital expenditure because the only site facilities normally required are ductwork and a fan. Calgon Carbon provides the entire service for the adsorption process whichincludes spent carbon removal, transport, and reactivation or disposal. The VAPOR-PAC
® 10 adsorbers are owned by CalgonCarbon, who maintains the units in operable condition.* VAPOR-PAC
® 10 units are ideally suited to remove low concentrations of VOCs from applications such as industrial plant emissions, soil remediation vents, and air stripper off-gases. In order to handle a wide range of flows and VOC concentrationsefficiently, the VAPOR-PAC

® 10 unit can also be configured as twoseparate adsorber beds. Each bed contains approximately 6,250 pounds of activated carbon. Depending on the flow and VOC concentration, the beds can be used one at a time, operated inparallel, or in series. A three-foot deep carbon bed is provided inthe VAPOR-PAC

® 10 for effective removal of VOCs, even duringperiods of peak concentrations.To determine carbon life in the VAPOR-PAC
® 10, Calgon Carbonrecommends monitoring the performance via the provided sample ports. Frequency of unit exchange will depend on the types and concentrations of VOCs being treated. Exchangeshould be scheduled before carbon breakthrough occurs. If thebeds are used sequentially, the timing of the breakthrough from the second bed can be estimated by comparing it with the breakthrough time for the first bed (assuming that they operateunder similar conditions). When an exchange is required, Calgon Carbon delivers a replacement unit. Upon delivery of the replacement, the unit containing the spent carbon is removed from the process andthe replacement unit is placed on-line to continue treatment. Inmany cases, the delivery trailer can manage both the setting of the new unit and pickup of the old, eliminating the need for a crane. The unit removed from the process is returned to our facility where it is emptied, inspected, refilled, and stored for thenext exchange.
