Activated carbons solutions for air and gas treatment industry

Air and Gas Treatment: the Challenge Treatment of air and process gases typically has two fundamental drivers: regulatory compliance and/or product purity. Many industrial operations face increasingly stringent discharge limits on volatile organic compounds (VOCs). From a process purity standpoint, many process gases contain undesired impurities that can be removed with Jacobi’s EcoSorb and AddSorb products.

Activated carbons solutions for automotive industry

In today’s competitive market, vehicle manufacturers face a variety of challenges with respect to the capture of organic compounds. Increasingly stringent emissions regulations require efficient removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the vehicle, mileage standards impact the size and weight of vehicles (thus impacting the design of air filters used in the vehicle), and consumers continue to demand improved driving experiences (driven in part by air quality within the vehicle cabin). Auto...

Activated carbons solutions for flue gas & mercury sector

In many industrialized nations it is common practice to use incineration methods for waste disposal. There are also ways to recover energy from the process. However, operating an incinerator requires strict adherence to environmental regulations. Hazardous, clinical and waste to energy incinerators can benefit from our EcoSorb range of activated carbon. Specially designed to adsorb unwelcome airborne compounds from flue gases.

Activated carbons solutions for food and beverage industry

Unwanted tastes and colours must be dealt with and impurities need effective removal. Beverage producers demand very high purity in the water and many times the water supply from local sources needs further treatment. Public health and safety issues are at the top of the list. Activated carbons possess a diverse range of pore properties that are perfect for adsorption of numerous chemical compounds. Jacobi’s AquaSorb and ColorSorb products are ideal for this...

Activated carbons solutions for home water filters industry

As standards of living continue to increase in developed nations, consumers demand higher quality drinking water from their taps. Activated carbon is the time tested solution to meet these challenges. Jacobi offers a full range of products for water treatment from the AquaSorb™ line especially designed for use in home water filtration systems.

Activated carbons solutions for mining industry

The Challenge: The gold extraction industry faces perennial challenges even in times when gold prices are high. Mines must strive to process ore of diminishing quality, and control operating costs at levels that maximize the return on investment. The need to maintain environmental responsibility adds to the challenge. Selecting a provider of high quality activated carbons is vital to the bottom line. Almost half of all Adsorption-Desorption-Recovery (ADR) plants worldwide use Jacobi’s activated carbons...

Activated carbons solutions for oil and gas industry

The Challenge: Managers of petrochemical facilities today are faced with striking a difficult balance between optimizing the operating the refinery to maximize profits and complying with increasingly stringent environmental regulations governing air and water emissions from the facility. Jacobi fully understands the scale and nuances of refinery operations, and we have developed a full range of activated carbons to meet every challenge in typical refinery operations.

Activated carbons solutions for personal protection industry

The Challenge: Manufacturers of personal protection devices are driven to safeguard the public health caused by airborne chemical contaminants. Removal of these contaminants is technically demanding, and manufacturers must meet this technical challenge while navigating stringent regulations. Jacobi’s understands this unique blend of technical and regulatory challenges for personal protection devices faced by our customers. Jacobi provides many different formats of product that are used in different...

Activated carbons solutions for medicinal and pharmaceutical industry

Modern medical treatments increasingly utilise drug therapy in addition to, or in place of, invasive measures. The growth of new pharmaceutical preparations is today at an unprecedented level. At the same time, increasing regulatory scrutiny over pharmaceutical formulations adds to the challenge for pharmaceutical companies. Jacobi has extensive knowledge of the regulatory and economic challenges faced by pharmaceutical manufacturers, and deep insight into their complex markets. Regardless of the industry...

Activated carbons solutions for tobacco sector

Since its first discovery by Europeans more than 500 years ago, the consumption of tobacco has been a contentious issue. The effects are well documented, especially from refined products such as cigarettes, cigars and pipe smoking. Nevertheless, the use of tobacco products persists and as the market is highly subjective in relation to the experience of taste and odour, the modification of these sensory perceptions has seen the incorporation of activated carbon into smoking devices. High surface area activated...

Activated carbons solutions for water treatment industry

Water. One of the world’s most precious resources for drinking, irrigation or industrial processes. The supply of clean, fresh water continues to be more and more constrained as populations rise and water demands grow on our planet. Activated carbon is one of the best technologies available for improving water quality. Jacobi’s AquaSorb range of activated carbon is specifically designed for use in liquid phase adsorption systems.
