Effectively removes hazardous gases and particulate pollutants, helping facilities comply
with environmental regulations while supporting sustainable production environments.
CARBON TOWER
(Activated Carbon Adsorption Tower)
Environment division
Equipment Overview
An Activated Carbon Adsorption System is a dry gas treatment system that utilizes the large specific surface
area of activated carbon (800–1,200 m²/g) to physically adsorb and remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs),
odorous substances, and hazardous gases from exhaust air.
As an environmentally friendly solution that requires no chemical reagents, it is particularly effective for
removing low- to medium-concentration VOCs and odorous compounds. When solvent recovery is feasible, the activated carbon can be regenerated through a desorption process, enabling economical operation.

STEP 01
Contaminated Air Inlet
STEP 02
Passage Through the Activated Carbon Bed
(Residence Time: ≥ 1 Second)
STEP 03
Adsorption on the Activated Carbon Surface
(Physical Adsorption)
STEP 04
Discharge of Cleaned Air
to the Stack
STEP 05
Steam or Hot Air Desorption Regeneration upon Saturation,
or Activated Carbon Replacement
With two units installed in parallel, continuous 24-hour operation is possible through alternating operation, with one unit in adsorption mode and the other in desorption mode.
