Air-purification equipment reference. Carbon form and bed design must be matched to the vapor profile, airflow and pressure-drop limit.

Selection overview

Air & VOC Treatment selection starts with operating data

For ventilation, exhaust and vapor-control systems, carbon selection is driven by the VOC or odor profile, humidity, airflow and allowable pressure drop. Pellet or granular carbon is reviewed for physical adsorption duties; reactive gases require a separate industrial-gas assessment.

Recommended sourcing direction

Pellet activated carbon for controlled pressure drop in VOC and odor beds; granular carbon where the equipment and vapor duty favor GAC

The figures below are common sourcing references, not an application-performance guarantee. Final grade, test methods and batch limits are confirmed after the operating conditions are reviewed.

Common pellet diameter1.5-8 mm available directions; 4 mm is widely requested
CTC activityTypical pellet range: 40-90%; common grades are often 50-75%
HardnessTypical pellet range: 90-97%; >=95% is a common target
MoistureTypically <=5%
Apparent densityTypical pellet reference range: 400-700 g/L
Alternative gas testsButane activity, butane working capacity or a VOC-specific adsorption or breakthrough test

Application data needed for grade matching

Gas composition, contaminant and concentration, humidity, temperature, airflow, bed dimensions, pressure-drop limit, target service life, quantity and destination.

Qualification boundary

Confirm suitability with the actual system and agreed test method

No single carbon removes every VOC or odor compound. Selection must reflect the actual vapor, humidity, airflow and breakthrough target; reactive gases require a separate industrial-gas review.

System qualification

Move from operating data to a defensible grade specification

The selection process separates system conditions from product properties so the quotation can state relevant tests and acceptance values.

Process factors to send

  • Contaminant identity, concentration and competing vapors
  • Humidity, temperature, airflow and operating schedule
  • Bed depth, face velocity and maximum pressure drop
  • Target outlet concentration, service life and replacement method

Recommended validation path

  1. Define the VOC, vapor or odor-control duty
  2. Choose pellet diameter or GAC mesh
  3. Select CTC, butane or contaminant-specific tests
  4. Confirm breakthrough target and safe change-out criteria

Performance boundary: Operating results depend on the actual system. A sample or pilot result should use an agreed method and representative conditions.

RFQ preparation

Commercial details needed with the technical review

Stock, final MOQ, production date, guaranteed values, packing cost, freight, payment terms and inspection scope are confirmed for the specific quotation and contract.

Quantity

1 metric ton standard MOQ

Orders below 1 metric ton are reviewed against the grade, available stock, packing and freight cost.

Sample plan

Method-matched quantity

Standard samples are normally free; the buyer usually covers international courier cost. Sample quantity is matched to the product and test method.

Production

15-25 days typical

Timing starts after the product specification, packing, order documents and agreed payment conditions are confirmed.

Delivery basis

Export terms by route

Qingdao or Tianjin are commonly used; the final loading port is confirmed with the route and trade term.

FAQ

Air & VOC Treatment sourcing questions

Its cylindrical shape supports controlled airflow and pressure drop. Diameter, bed depth and hardness still need to match the equipment.

Water vapor can compete for adsorption sites and reduce usable capacity for some organic vapors. Provide the expected humidity range so the carbon and bed design can be reviewed under representative conditions.

Provide contaminant identity and concentration, humidity, temperature, airflow, bed depth, pressure-drop limit, desired service life and replacement method.
