TL-Adsorbers
Liquid Phase
1000, 2000, 3000
|
|
|
The
Transportable Liquid Phase Adsorbers are fabricated from
mild steel . All units have two part Epoxy coatings on the inside
and industrial enamel on the outside to give a long service
life. 2" steel FPT inlet/outlet fittings on the tip of
the vessels are connected to PVC internals for corrosion resistance.
The units have forklift access, a screened drain and 16 inch
top manhole. GC 8x30 virgin, bituminous coal base carbon
is standard with GC 12x40, reactivated GC 8x30R
and other specialty carbons available.

| Installation
& Start Up - If possible, before the units are used
for the first time, they should be filled with clean water through
the bottom collector, and allowed to degas for a period of 8
to 12 hours. A gentle backwash is recommended to remove carbon
fines that can cause excessive pressure drop through the unit.
Multiple units are usually connected in series with testing
between the units advised to determine when the first unit needs
to be changed out. |
| |
| Maintenance
- When in use, the only maintenance the TL Units require
is testing for contaminants in the influent and effluents streams,
and checking the operating pressure of the system. Monitoring
the contaminant concentration level into the last unit in a
series arrangement is the recommended safeguard against having
breakthrough in the final outflow. When the concentration of
contaminants in the flow coming out of the lead unit equals
the concentration of the flow into the unit, the unit has reached
its removal capacity and should be removed from service. The
working life of each adsorber is dependent upon the type of
contaminant in the water as well as its concentration and the
liquid flow rate. A pressure relief device is advised to prevent
damage to the adsorber or cause a failure in the event of excessive
pressure buildup. Backwashing an adsorber that is operating
at an elevated pressure, will sometimes provide a temporary
lowering of the pressure drop through a unit. |
| |
| Recharging
- Once the carbon is saturated by contaminants, the unit should
be taken off line. If connected in a series mode, the next down
stream unit should be moved into the lead position and a fresh
unit put at the end of the train. To purchase replacement carbon
or to arrange for a carbon changeout, please contact our office.
When preparing the unit for servicing, as much water as possible
should be drained from the vessel through the screened drain
fitting. All shipping plugs must be replaced when the unit is
to be transported. |
| |
| Disposal
- Dispose of the spent carbon in accordance with Federal, State,
and Local regulations. |

|
Warning!
|
|
Wet
activated carbon readily absorbs free oxygen. ANY entry into
carbon vessels requires procedures for confined space entry
and oxygen depletion to be followed!
