Dual Express - Carbon Adsorption System Brochure

Making Water and Air Safer and Cleaner www.calgoncarbon.comPRODUCT BULLETINDescriptionCalgon Carbon’s Dual Express is a carbon adsorption system specifically designed to provide a rapid solution to a temporary problem. For emergency situations where quick response is critical, itcan be dispatched to a customer’s site within hours of notification andoperation can begin immediately after set-up. Calgon Carbon personnel are available to supervise system start-up.The Dual Express is a skid-mounted backwashable system deliveredas two pre-piped adsorbers with a separate interconnecting pipe module. It is available pre-filled with activated carbon that, once exhausted, can be returned to Calgon Carbon for reactivation as partof a closed loop carbon exchange service.The Dual Express is ideal for periodic or temporary use where a permanent system would not be economical, including:• Emergency wastewater treatment• Cooling or process water purification• Acid decolorization• Alcohol purification• Amine purificationFeatures / Benefits• Immediate Availability• Rapid Installation• Versatile Design•Closed Loop• Cost Effective• The Dual Express system is pre-piped and ready for shipment immediately without obtaining any special transportation permits.• The Dual Express can be set up for operation and put on stream quickly.• The Dual Express is designed to handle a wide range of flows and contaminants.• Spent carbon may be returned to Calgon Carbon for thermal reactivation, eliminating the customer's disposal concerns.• Customer's avoid incurring permanent capital expenses or maintenance costs because the Dual Express can be used aslong as needed and then returned to Calgon Carbon.System Operating ConditionsOperating mode Series or parallelFlow rate 50-600 gpmCarbon per adsorber 20,000 lbs.

In closedor partially closed containers and vessels, oxygen depletion may reachhazardous levels. If workers are to enter a vessel containing carbon,appropriate sampling and work procedures for potentially low oxygenspaces should be followed, including all applicable federal and staterequirements.
