"The full report presents the results of theoretical and field test investigations of full-scale carbon adsorption applications. The program focused on the performance testing of several fixed-bed, steam-regenerated carbon adsorption systems used in the rubberized fabric, magnetic tape, and flexible packaging industries. The test results showed that a 96 percent volatile organic compound (VOC) reduction can be expected for most common industrial solvents when exhaust gases are processed through a properly designed and operated activated carbon bed. The test program was also designed to measure the effective carbon life for each of the test facilities. Carbon life was found to vary from plant to plant and ranged from as low as 9 months at a magnetic tape facility to over 5 years at a rubberized fabric coating operation. The full report also includes a brief discussion on the theory of carbon adsorption and on computer simulations of carbon bed systems." |
