How can you minimise the impact your carbon filters are having on the environment?
Activated carbon filters come in various shapes and sizes; at ATS Plastics ltd, we can build you a carbon filter that is a vessel or build you refillable cartridges to fit your existing carbon vessel.
It is common practice to have single use activated carbon media cartridges, at ATS Plastics Ltd we can help design you a specific re-fillable activated carbon media cartridge to suit your existing vessel or design and build you a new vessel. The benefit to environment is the filter is being used more than once and not sent to land fill or recycled involving energy high costs, increased carbon footprint for the recycling process.
Flexibility
The construction of the re-fillable filters is made using plastic sheets, which welded together to suit the dimensions of your vessel or filter box. We offer a range of different sized perforations on the sheet to suit the required pressure drop and size of the activated carbon media granules.
Your activated carbon filter can be filled with a range of carbon media, and not just virgin carbon. There are many variations on the market to suit your process specific needs with media that is impregnated with properties to treat very specific odours. If you also need assistance with the maintenance of your carbon filter and associated equipment please do not hesitate to contact our Service and Maintenance team to arrange a site visit.
Benefits
#The benefits of using a filter that can be emptied and refilled, is that it will cut down on the operational costs of your filter, whilst your business is being environmentally conscious. If you are worried about the disposal of the media, there are companies in the UK that want your spent carbon to feed into their processing plants that regenerate the media so it can be re-sold on the market and not sent to landfill or incinerated.
If your media is particularly hazardous then the above option may not be an option to regenerate resulting in the spent media needing to be sent to landfill or incinerated, speak with your local waste handler to understand what the requirements are in your area for the disposal of spent media.
