Carbon & Gas Phase Air Filters
What are carbon & gas phase filters and what are they used for?
Carbon and gas phase air filters are essential components in various industries, providing effective solutions for air purification and contaminant removal. These filters are designed to target specific airborne pollutants, making them well-suited for a range of applications.
Carbon air filters are particularly effective in removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and other gaseous contaminants from the air. They are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, chemical processing, and pharmaceutical production, where the control of air quality is crucial for worker safety and product quality.
Gas phase air filters, on the other hand, are designed to target specific gaseous pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrogen sulfide. These filters are widely used in industries like power generation, wastewater treatment, and oil and gas refineries, where the removal of these harmful gases is essential for environmental compliance and worker protection.
Both carbon and gas phase air filters play a vital role in maintaining a clean and safe working environment, ensuring that employees can breathe clean air and that sensitive processes are protected from airborne contaminants. By understanding the specific needs of your industry, you can select the most appropriate air filtration solution to meet your air quality requirements.

Carbon
Technology
Carbon air filters are meticulously designed to effectively remove odors, gases, and chemicals from the air. As air particles pass through the filter, those that come into contact with the filter’s porous carbon are captured and retained.
Carbon is particularly effective at neutralizing odors due to its unique interaction with particles. It employs a process known as adsorption, which causes gas molecules to adhere to the carbon. Once adhered, these gas molecules remain confined within the filter and cannot re-enter the air.
Replacement Frequency
Recommended Replacement
Keeping your air filters fresh is key to enjoying great air quality! It's important to replace or clean the filters in your ventilation system and furnace when needed. Over time, activated carbon can accumulate sediment, scale, organic contaminants, bacteria, and other buildup that impedes flow and filtration. This means your system has to work a bit harder, which can lead to higher energy bills. By keeping your air filters clean, you can expect efficient airflow and a more comfortable environment! It's a good idea to periodically clean carbon filters every 6–12 months or when you notice: Reduced water flow and pressure.
