Disposable, High Activity

Carbon Bonded Panel Filters

• 60% CTC activity carbon Higher Efficiency

AmerSorb BP carbon bonded panel filters are constructed with
• High first-pass removal efficiency and low 0.25 oz. high-loft, non-woven polyester front and back for protection
resistance to airflow during shipment and offer particulate removal capabilities as well.
Structurally designed to prevent bypass of contaminated air, the
• No carbon dusting — no settling carbon is “locked” in place and will not settle, as often occurs in
loose-fill trays and honeycomb carbon filters.
• Easy disposal

• Individually sealed in cellophane bag More Carbon

for easy handling AmerSorb BP bonded carbon panel filters contain approximately
5% more carbon by weight than a comparable size loose-fill panel
• Available in various thicknesses filter. Since a supporting enclosure is not required, there is additional
space for carbon content.

AmerSorb BP disposable, carbon bonded panel filters are a direct

replacement for 1" panels used in most manufacturers' side and front
access housings. An economical alternative to refillable trays used in
granular media housings, AmerSorb BP filters are easier to handle
and reduce maintenance costs.

Patented Bonding Process

The patented process uses a polymeric substance to bind AmerSorb ® BP high
activity carbon granules
activated carbon into a rigid, uniform structure characterized by
open pore structure. This bonding process is unique because
adsorption properties of the base activated carbon remain Reduced Maintenance
virtually unchanged. Conventional bonding methods may Disposable filters eliminate many of the maintenance costs
corrupt surface area and pore size distribution. Since the associated with refillable carbon panels. Disposable carbon bonded
adsorptive capacity of the activated carbon is preserved, panels are easy to install and cleaner to handle. No extra freight,
the need for post-binding activation is eliminated. handling, or clean up is required.

Applications Performance Data

AmerSorb BP carbon bonded panel filters are used for applications
where odor control and Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) removal
are necessary. As a result of high performance and extremely low
particle shedding, AmerSorb BP filters do not require downstream
particulate filters. These filters are ideal for applications ranging from
air make-up units in high purity environments to general heating and
cooling applications.
Static Adsorption Capacity
Carbon Tetrachloride (CCI4) adsorption capacity is virtually unaffected
by bonding. Several carbon samples in the 60-80% CCI4 activity
range are shown in the graph below. As indicated, there is little
impact on the activated carbon by the bonding process.
