Filtration Applications
CarboPur's advanced activated carbon materials have unique adsorptive, physical and electrical properties, and can be tailored for a wide range of filtration applications, such as:
Kitchen Hoods Odor Filters
Clean Room Filters
"Point-of-Use" Water Filtration
High-End Water Treatment (carbonization and activation of nanofibers)
High-end HVAC Filtration (Hospitals, Museum, Airports, etc.)
Cabin Air Filters
Personal Respirators
Sampling Badges
Cigarette Filters
Medical (ostomy bag and wound management)
The key competitive advantages of CarboPur's advanced materials are:
Low Cost - Because CarboPur's advanced materials can be produced from commodity-type raw material, at relatively low temperatures, with high process yields and re-usable additives, the resulting process is relatively inexpensive compared to traditional activation processes for the making of both granular carbon and activated carbon cloth;
High Surface Area - CarboPur's advanced materials have over 1,500 m2/g of active area;
Rapid Adsorption Kinetics - CarboPur's advanced materials require much shorter contact times than granular activated carbon based products. High adsorption kinetics make CarboPur's advanced materials extremely well suited for high velocity applications where contaminant contact time with the media is often minimal due to rapid flow rates or system designs (such as POU water filtration or high-end industrial/residential HVAC applications);
Zero Breakthrough - Unique to CarboPur's materials is their 100% capture capacity performance (zero breakthrough), for significant periods of time, when challenged with commonly occurring Volatile Organic Contaminants ("VOC");
Specificity to Application Requirements - CarboPur is capable of tailor-making materials with enhanced performance and capacity for specific contaminants. For instance, CarboPur can make materials that are predominantly microporous, ideal for the capture of small organic molecules, and materials that are predominantly mesoporous, ideal for the capture of larger organic molecules. CarboPur also has the novel ability to produce a product which combines both enhanced microporous and mesoporous capture profiles;
Process Flexibility - CarboPur's process is based on low-temperature activation of cellulosed based raw material (viscose rayon, lyocell, cotton, denim, etc.), using low-cost, proprietary additives. CarboPur's can equally treat woven and non-woven textile precursors, irrespective of shape, size or form, allowing for any desired form and thickness. The process can also treat combinations of cellulose-based precursors or combinations enhanced with other fibres that are stable at CarboPur's lower process temperatures. This paves the way for "alloy" material compositions;
Electrical Conductivity - The electrical conductivity of certain grades of CarboPur's advanced material permits their use in combination with CarboPur's patented electrothermal regeneration technology. This combination has the potential to create unique systems where the filter media is "permanent" (regenerable in situ) or that afford the recovery of valuable solvents. |
