Vapor Phase Carbon Vessels

Carbonair's GPC Series vapor phase carbon vessels are designed to provide an efficient and economical means to reduce VOC concentrations, corrosive gases, toxic vapors, and to control odor. Carbonair’s GPC Series Vapor Phase Carbon Vessels can be filled with several types of granular activated carbons and other specialty media for a variety of applications.

Carbonair’s GPC Series vapor phase carbon vessels are constructed of high quality steel and treated with corrosion resistant paint inside and out. The GPC Series is designed to provide the most efficient use of the granular activated carbon in the bed and to provide the lowest pressure drop possible in order to minimize back pressure on blowers and other equipment. Some vessels use slotted plastic pipe to distribute the air flow across the carbon bed. This tends to create excessive back pressure and can cause channeling of the carbon bed, causing the waste of some of the carbon in the bed and premature breakthrough. Carbonair GPC vessels employ a carbon bed supported on a screened grate above a plenum. The air stream enters the vessel through the plenum where it is evenly distributed across the entire cross section of the carbon bed, providing the lowest pressure drop and most efficient use of the carbon.
