Air
Pollution
Control Barrels
The
General
Air Pollution Control Barrels are ready to use, low
cost, self contained air purification units that can treat
air flows of up to 250 CFM. The General is available
in three different sizes to better serve your treatment
needs.

Activated Carbon
- The General
vapor adsorbers are filled with virgin, high activity GC C-40
pelletized carbon. Other virgin coal, coconut shell, reactivated
or impregnated carbons are available.
|
Removable Lid
- 16 gauge
lid with ring & bolt closure and poly-clad cellulose gasket.
|
Connections -
Metal connectors
with standard pipe threads insure easy, durable and leakproof
hookup to your system. Unions or quick connect fittings are
advised to make drum exchange easy. Drains let you remove any
accumulated condensate.
|
Flow Distributors
- The 55
gallon barrel uses an air chamber to insure even distribution
of the air flow through the carbon. Low pressure drop, slotted
Schedule 40 PVC collectors are used in the 85 gallon and 110
gallon drums for proper flow distribution. Stainless Steel internals
and drums are available for special applications.
|
Coatings - The
General
pollution control barrels are coated on the inside with heat
cured phenolic epoxy. The outside coating is industrial enamel.
A polyethylene liner is available for extra corrosion resistance
for the 55 gallon and 85 gallon units.
|
Installation
& Start Up - The General
air pollution control barrel requires no special procedure for
start up. Just connect the inlet and outlet to the treatment
system and start it up. Multiple units are usually connected
in series with testing advised between the units to determine
when the first unit needs to be changed out.
|
Maintenance -
Once connected,
The General requires no maintenance other than the monitoring
of the influent and effluent air streams and the operating pressure
of the system. Monitoring the air stream into the last Air Pollution
Control Barrel in series mode is a recommended safeguard against
breakthrough in the final discharge. When the concentration
of contaminants in the outflow equals the concentration in the
inflow, The General has reached its removal capacity
and should be removed from the service. The working life of
each adsorber is dependent upon the type of contaminant in the
air as well as its concentration and the air flow rate. A pressure
relief device is advised to prevent damage to the canister in
the event of excessive pressure buildup.
|
Recharging The
General - Once
the carbon has reached its pollutant removal capacity, the unit
should be removed and replaced with a fresh one. To purchase
replacement carbon or to arrange for a carbon change out, please
contact our office.
|
Disposal - Dispose
of the spent carbon in accordance with Federal, State and Local
regulations.
|
|
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.
