Vapor Adsorption Cartridges

Vapor Adsorption Cartridges are designed to selectively remove vapors from air and other gases by passing the stream through a bed of adsorbent granules. The most common applications are activated carbon (CC) for hydrocarbon removal and silica gel (SG) for water vapor removal. These are considered polishing or final trace filters and are typically only specified in the most critical applications.

Adsorption Cartridges

Vapor Adsorption Cartridges come in two basic formats both utilizing a high efficiency borosilicate microfiber disposable element which will capture any adsorbent material thus protecting the downstream system. It is important to protect the adsorption cartridge with pre-filters so that the granules have full contact with the vapors that need to be extracted. Contact time is also critical so that the flow rate should be minimal.

Adsorption Cartridges are designed to fit all standard size housings. Our Stainless Steel housings accept cartridges designated with the suffix “TS” (i.e. 25-64-CC-TS) and our Aluminum and Plastic series accept cartridges designated with the prefix “TRE” (i.e. TRE25-64-CC).
