Air Treatment Options

• Thermal Destruction
• Carbon Adsorbents
• Polymer Fluidised Bed

4
Thermal Destruction

• Use on low air flows with high concentration
• High energy consumption
• C02 Generation
• High maintenance
• Post acid treatment
• Large capital cost

5
Carbon Adsorbents

• High Water retention heel effect
• High resonance time leading to large installed
  footprint
• Media degredation requiring regular replacement.

Polymer Fluidised bed

• Polymer adsorption capacity is very high. The
  polymeric adsorbent typically has a much greater
  adsorption capacity than carbon
• Polymer adsorbents have an extremely high
  affinity for organic compounds. For example,
  1,2-DCA has been shown in field application to be
  well adsorbed 1 (Inlet 1,250 ppbv, Outlet 0
  ppbv).
• Polymer adsorbents are hydrophobic, Use of a
  polymer adsorption system requires no humidity
  control.
• Polymer adsorbents require less residence time
  and thus less adsorbent than a comparable carbon
  system. The resin requires a theoretical
  residence time of 20-100 ms whereas carbon can
  require four seconds or more of residence time.
  This translates into less adsorbent, less
  pressure drop, and a smaller footprint for
  equipment
