NitroxTec activated carbon towers are designed to separate oil vapor in compressed air. There are diffusers at the inlet and outlet of the tower to distribute the flow. The system is designed with attention to the equal and homogeneous air flow distribution of the activated carbon.
There is oil vapor in the form of condensed or steam due to oil leaking from the compressor system. Activated carbon is one of the best materials used to solve air purification, water purification and oil problems all over the world.
Activated Carbon Towers in Oxygen and Nitrogen Gas Production
Activated carbon towers play a critical role in the production of oxygen and nitrogen gas. These towers effectively clean unwanted contaminants, oils, and organic compounds during the air separation process. This allows for obtaining high purity oxygen and nitrogen gas.
Nitroxtec’s activated carbon towers enhance efficiency in gas production with their high absorption capacity and durability.
Adsorption Mechanism
Activated carbon towers are a highly effective solution used to remove contaminants in industrial gases. These towers are made of a material called activated carbon, which has a large surface area. Activated carbon attracts and traps contaminant molecules like a magnet due to its porous structure. This process occurs as the gas passes through the activated carbon bed. The high surface area of activated carbon allows a large number of contaminant molecules to be trapped, resulting in purified gas.
