Activated carbon adsorber VPM

Overview
The VPM vapor adsorber rental units are prefabricated steel vessels designed to remove contaminants and odors from air at moderate flow rates while maintaining a low pressure drop. Units are supplied charged with activated carbon, mounted on a fork-truck mobile base and equipped with lifting lugs for fast placement and service.

Description
Delivered ready-to-install, VPM adsorbers are self-supporting and intended for installation on a level, accessible area near the influent source. Connection is via MNPT inlet and outlet fittings; flexible hose or flexible pipe connectors are recommended for hard-piped systems to avoid stress on fittings and to simplify adsorber change-out. Evoqua can provide turnkey support including on-site carbon changeouts by OSHA-trained personnel, packaging and transport of spent carbon for recycling and thermal reactivation, and issuance of reactivation certificates on request.

Features

• Adaptable — charged with the carbon best suited to the application; handling up to 1200 SCFM
• Continuous operation with minimal maintenance
• Robust prefabricated steel construction lined with high-performance epoxy for corrosion resistance
• Recycling of vessels and carbon optimizes lifecycle cost
• Portable — fork-truck base and lifting lugs enable rapid deployment
• Modular — configurable as single or multiple-unit systems for higher flows

Applications

• Emergency air quality control
• Tank or sump venting
• Soil vapor extraction (SVE)
• Air stripper off-gas treatment
