Activated Carbon
Adsorption is a purification process in which carbon will adsorb more than another. What
cer tain impurities in a process stream are often is more impor tant than the surface
attracted to the internal pore surfaces of a area is the pore size; par ticularly when
carbon par ticle. The activation process greatly contaminants of large molecular size need
increases the surface area internally of the to be removed. One must consider the
carbon. However, just having a large surface appropriate type of carbon for the application
area does not mean that a par ticular type of in which it is to be used.

Applications Benefits
• Removes fouling agents from process
streams, thereby maintaining a high
ADSORBS level of scrubbing efficiency and avoiding
IMPURITIES costly down time.
Liquid Suspended
Hydrocarbon Solids • Removes hydrocarbon and degradation
Emulsions products from recirculating streams.
Corrosion Others
Inhibitors • Removes agents that cause foaming,
resulting in reduced amine, glycol, etc.
Color Dissolved make-up.
Bodies Organics
• Reduces need for anti-foam agents.
FROM
Selexol Sulfinol • Permits a reduction of process recircula-
tion rate and/or lower concentration
Hydrogen required, thereby reducing reboiler fuel
