CPL trebles carbon reactivation capacity

摘要

Wigan-based CPL Activated Carbons has dramatically increased its capacity for reactivating 'amber list' spent carbons from industrial purification processes, following a major expansion at its Im-mingham production facility. Activated carbons are used in a wide range of gas and liquid phase filtration applications, such as air treatment, water purification and numerous other environmental protection applications. When carbons are 'spent' and no longer achieving the required level of filtration, they need to be replaced. In most cases, spent carbons can be regenerated by a process called thermal reactivation, which involves passing the spent media through a high temperature rotary kiln to restore its filtration capability.
