What is Adsorption?
Adsorption is a process that occurs when a gas or liquid solute accumulates on the surface of a solid, forming a molecular or atomic film (the adsorbate).  The carbon utilized for radioactive iodine removal is nuclear grade 8x16 mesh and is impregnated with TEDA to improve retention of radio-iodines.

RPS offers adsorbers in both circular and square cross-sections.

P/N C103585 Carbon Adsorber (HEGA) - High Efficiency, 500 CFM, 0.286  Second Residence Time, Plastic Frame

A high efficiency high-impact plastic HEGA adsorber designed to ensure rigidity and adsorbant retention while reducing weight. This adsorber is rated at 0.286 seconds residence time at 500 CFM @ 0.60 in.wg pressure drop, and .125 seconds residenc time at 1140 CFM @ 1.59 in.wg pressure drop. Gaskets are installed on the upstream and downstream face. The adsorber measures 24" x24" x 16" deep and weighs approximately 115 lbs. Carbon media is 8 x16 US mesh activated coconut shell carbon AG-1 nuclear grade, impregnated with TEDA and KI.

The nuclear grade adsorber is manufactured under procedures that meet ASME NQA-1 QA program requirements for nuclear facilities.  (ISO 9001-2001 facility)

NUTOX Carbon Adsorbers are designed for the capture of organic vapors and fumes.  They employ a high carbon contact time.  NUTOX uses technical grade activated carbon and is not rated for nuclear (radio-iodine) applications.  The NUTOX Radial Flow Adsorbers treat relatively large flows with a very low pressure drop.  The activated carbon is contained in an annulus between two stainless steel screens attached to expanded metal.  When an accumulator cabinet is used to house the radial flow adsorber, condensate drains and breakthrough indicators are provided.  If conditions dictate, stainless steel can be substituted for carbon steel or an alternative coating can be provided.  Flow can be reversed if preferred.

NOTES:
1) Nominal design flow may be conservative.  Desired contact time may allow higher or lower flow rates.
2) Dry virgin activated or reactivated carbon provided as standard adsorbent.
3) Maximum adsorbent fill is based on a bed density of 29 lb/ft3.
4) Maximum adsorbent fill can differ based on variable bed density and alternate adsorbents.
