Puragen Activated Carbons applications

Research has shown that removing mercury from the flue gas of coal fired power plants would save many lives. Puragen is a global leader in transporting vast quantities of raw materials. This transportation experience is important because flue gas filtration can be a large volume application that requires particular attention to supply logistics. OxPure™ PAC’s are highly effective at capturing mercury from flue gas under a wide variety of challenging conditions.

Puragen Activated Carbons pays special attention during manufacturing to the purity, stringent particle size distribution, moisture and low dust required by the cigarette industry for activated carbon.

Untreated flue gas can emit harmful gaseous compounds into the air. Puragen Activated Carbons products are effective at high temperatures and, due to their large surface area, capture a range of compounds from flue gas. OxPure™ powder activated carbon, when injected into flue gas from metal smelters, steel mills, cement kilns, incinerators, and coal fired utilities, enables these industries to reduce mercury, dioxin, furans, and other emissions to meet stringent regulations.

Whether purifying specialty gases to ultra-pure levels, treating hydrogen purification using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) or removing siloxane from methane, our gas purification customers count on Puragen Activated Carbons for the right carbon products and services. GAC or EAC is commonly used to remove unwanted contaminates. In some cases, the activated carbon can be regenerated within the vessel using temperature or pressure swing methods.

Puragen Activated Carbons’s GAC and EAC products are very effective in removing impurities in air streams. Specific uses include reducing harmful airborne emissions from industrial operations and improving indoor air quality. Higher activity levels, different raw material sources, and varying particle sizes are examples of attributes that match the right Puragen Activated Carbons product for the job.

Odor control technology is critical to industrial and municipal operations where foul odors can be harmful to human health. Examples include industrial facilities that emit odors caused by sulfur compounds, ammonia, and amines. For industrial and municipal operations where foul odors can be harmful to human health and to the facility’s acceptance among its neighbors, odor control technology is critical. Examples include sewage treatment plants and oil refineries that emit odors caused by sulfur compounds, ammonia, amines and others. GAC provides high-efficiency filtration, which is crucial, as humans can detect many odor causing compounds at extremely low levels.

Respirator applications rely on activated carbon to protect workers from a wide variety of harmful contaminants. Required in a wide range of manufacturing and other industries, respirator technology is effective and reliable due to GAC.

Puragen Activated Carbons GAC and EAC are used to capture and adsorb organic solvents in air. When the activated carbon’s capacity for the solvent is reached, the system can be regenerated on-site with steam or hot gas. The solvent is recovered, and the same activated carbon can be reused.

Puragen Activated Carbons products used for cabin air are high activity carbons that are excellent for adsorbing many odors and chemicals from the air one breathes while in the vehicle.

Puragen Activated Carbons offers products that are used in the automotive industry for evaporative emission control to reduce gasoline emissions from the vehicle, which helps to improve the environment. Special, highly mesoporous activated carbon is used in canisters mounted within the vehicle to adsorb fuel emissions and carbon filters are placed in the air intake system to purify the air you breathe within the cabin.
