Sorbent Containment Systems

• Treatment vessels
• Carbon-holding baskets
• Activated carbon packs

Treatment Vessels are standard Rosedale strainer/filter housings, available in carbon steel, and 304 or 316 stainless steel. They are made in many sizes. Single-basket models are pressure rated from 75 to 500 psi, with pipe connections from 3/4-in.-NPT to 4-in.-flange. Multi-basket models can hold from 2 to 23 baskets and are pressure rated at 150 psi. Pipe sizes are from 2 to 12 inches (flanged).

Sorbent-Holding Baskets are made in two styles: the RS, for recirculating systems, passes liquid (horizontally) through a shallow bed (approximately 2-1/2 inches deep); the SP, for single-pass systems, has a deep (vertical) bed (approximately 29 inches deep).

Baskets are made entirely of 304 stainless steel, and are of high quality construction. They are easily recharged with sorbents such as activated carbon. Turning the large lifting handle opens a cover so that they can be emptied and refilled. The particles are retained by 100-mesh wire screening.

These baskets can also be filled with materials other than activated carbon. Other processing media might include deionizing resin beads, silica gels, alumina, green sand, and odorizing agents.

Activated Carbon Packs are premeasured amounts of 20 x 50-mesh-size activated carbon, packaged to protect against moisture. A universal grade of carbon is used, offering good flow rates.

Designing An Optimum System

While carbon granules can act as a filtering media to remove solid particulate from a liquid, it is far more economical to pre-filter liquids entering a carbon adsorption vessel to avoid impeding the adsorption process. It is also recommended that a second filter be placed downstream of the carbon unit to catch any carbon particles that might be flushed out by the fluid stream. Rosedale bag filters are excellent in these roles.
