Purafil Puracarb - AM - Ammonia Media - Brochure

M E D I A S P E C I F I C AT I O NPuracarb® AM Media is manufacturedspecifically for the control of ammonia andamines and consists of generally spherical,porous pellets. Composed of carbon, aluminaand other binders, Puracarb® AM pellets areimpregnated during pellet formation, such thatthe impregnant is uniformly distributedthroughout the pellet volume and is totallyavailable for reaction.T H E C H E M I S O R P T I V E P R O C E S SThe Purafil chemisorptive process shall removecontaminant gases by means of adsorption,absorption and chemical reaction. Gases shallbe trapped within the pellet where chemicalreactions change the gases into harmless solids,eliminating the possibility of desorption.D I S P O S A L R E Q U I R E M E N T SSpent Puracarb® AM Media should be disposedof according to local, state and federalguidelines.PURACARB ® AM MEDIA has a higher bulk density and larger removalcapacity than standard ammonia medias. It is designed for 99.5% initialremoval efficiency in Purafil’s equipment systems.
