FRP SERIES
FIBERGLASS PRESSURE ADSORBER
|
|
| Resistant
to many chemicals, GENERAL CARBON'S FRP-Series Liquid
Phase Adsorbers are ideal where corrosion is a primary
concern.
Rated for 150 PSI, these units can be used effectively in high
pressure applications where there is NO chance of a vacuum
condition. The FRP-Series tanks come in many sizes to
handle a full range of liquid flows. Made with an internal bladder
wrapped in fiberglass, these filament wound vessels are ideal
for filtration using activated carbon, resins or other filter
media. Food grade internals are standard along with a wide selection
of inlet/outlet sizes. Easy use automatic valves are available
for unattended operation. |

Installation
& Startup -
FRP-Series adsorbers are shipped empty along with the
required carbon. The adsorber should be connected and all fittings
pressure tested for leaks before the carbon is installed through
the top access hole. A vacuum relief device is advised to prevent
tank damage. After the carbon has been loaded, the unit should
be filled with clean water through the bottom collector, and
allowed to degas for 8-12 hours if possible. Backwashing the
carbon is recommended to remove carbon fines that can cause
excessive pressure drop through the unit.

|
| Maintenance
- The only
maintenance that FRP-Series adsorbers require is the
testing of effluent quality, and the checking of the operating
pressure of the system. Monitoring the contaminant level into
the last unit in a series arrangement is the recommended safeguard
against having breakthrough in the final outflow. |
| |
| Servicing
FRP-Tanks
- Once an adsorber's carbon is saturated by contaminants, the
unit should be taken off line and fresh carbon installed. To
purchase replacement carbon or to arrange for a carbon change
out, please contact our office. When preparing the unit to be
serviced, as much water as possible should be drained from the
vessel. |
| |
| |
|
WARNING!
Wet
activated carbon removes oxygen from air causing a severe
hazard to workers inside carbon vessels. Confined space/low
oxygen procedures should be put in place before any entry
is made. Such procedures should comply with all applicable
local, state and federal guidelines.
