Control of VOC's with Carbon Adsorption
Credits : 4 PDH
PDH Course Description:
Carbon adsorption is used in air pollution control to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from low to medium concentration gas streams, when stringent outlet concentration must be met and/or recovery of the VOC is desired. This course covers the types of adsorbers, adsorption theory, and design procedures for carbon adsorption equipment.Topics:
Following the completion of this course, the student will be:- familiar w/ types of carbon adsorption equipment and which are in most common use
- able to define an adsorption isotherm and be able to recognize the equation for the Freundlich isotherm
- familiar with adsorber sizing parameters
- able to make adsorption and desorption time calculations
- familiar with procedures for estimating carbon requirements
- familiar with cost estimation procedures for carbon adsorption systems
