Dust collector for adsorption tower

Klaus A/C Tower KAC Series

Dust collector for adsorption tower

Purpose of use
  • Removes harmful gases and odors from petrochemical plants, food processing plants, paper mills, printing plants, paint booths, paint shops, sewage treatment plants, waste water treatment plants and processes using organic solvents.
Adsorption Tower (A/C Tower)
  • The Adsorption Tower is a piece of equipment that eliminates various types of VOCs and odors by using physicochemical adsorption through fine pores developed in activated carbon and various chemicals impregnated on it.
Active Carbon
  • Activated carbon is a collection of amorphous carbon with well-developed micropores made from wood, lignite, anthracite and palm bark, and is an adsorbent that has a large internal surface area due to well-formed micropores about the size of molecules during activation.
  • Activated carbon has a surface area of more than 1,000 m2 per unit g, and the functional group of carbon atoms on the surface has the property of adsorbing adsorbed molecules by exerting attraction on the surrounding liquid or gas.

Adsorbent Purpose
Active carbon Solvent recovery, odor removal, gas purification (most common)
Alumina Drying of gases, air and liquids

Adsorption by an adsorbent such as activated carbon
  • At the same flue gas temperature, the amount of harmful gas adsorbed on adsorbents such as activated carbon increases with increasing molecular weight.
  • Substances that are liquid at room temperature and those with a boiling point close to room temperature are often advantageous for the adsorption method.

Physical adsorption

chemical adsorption

Features
  • Removes odors and harmful gases and no water waste.
  • Economical with high adsorption capacity and long life of the activated carbon filter.
  • Operation and maintenance are inexpensive and simple.
  • Pressure drop is low.
  • It is safe and easy to replace activated carbon filter.
Turbo fan
  • Aluminum alloy is used to reduce the idle weight and start up load, thus increasing the absorbing force, and electronic balancing with the mould has achieved zero vibration and low noise.
  • Eliminates vibration caused by dirt squeezed between or stuck to the fan blades during use.
Coating
  • Maximized durability and luxury with a high quality coating
  • Coated with chemical resistant material
Maintenance
Dust inflow
  • Pay attention to the inflow of dust that closes the surface of the adsorbent during operation.
  • The inflow of dust reduces the surface area of the adsorbent and closes the fine capillary tube in the adsorbent, so that the adsorption efficiency is very low. Therefore, to solve this problem, a dust removal filter must be installed at the adsorption stage.
Corrosion
  • The material is corroded by steam during desorption stripping. As the water vapour temperature increases, corrosion also increases relatively, so the material must be made of stainless steel or a special surface treatment must be carried out to prevent corrosion.
Polar and non-polar compounds
  • Activated carbon can adsorb both polar and non-polar substances, but additional separation methods such as distillation are required to recover polar substances desorbed by water vapour during desorption stripping.

Caution
  • The time of duration should be sufficient.
  • The airflow passing through the adsorption layer must have a uniform distribution.
  • There should be low resistance to the flow of gas.
  • Substances that are not adsorbed and that harm the operation of the adsorption layer must be treated before and be removed.
