A Thermal Reactivation Facility

Activated carbons that are used for the removal of organic compounds from gas or liquid phase systems will gradually become saturated, due to the concentration of contaminants on the surface of the adsorbent. When this occurs a decision must be made on how to deal with the spent material.

Activated carbon is a valuable commodity which is capable of being recycled using thermal reactivation techniques. This process offers very significant advantages to an activated carbon consumer;

• The best environmental option available
• Removal of expensive waste disposal costs
• Conservation of existing landfill provision
• Reduction in operating costs as regenerated material is often less expensive than virgin adsorbent

CPL Carbon Link offer a comprehensive service for the reactivation plant of spent activated carbons including those used for the removal of aliphatic, aromatic and many halogenated compounds.

Precise process control during reactivation ensures complete and full control over the reactivation process to the highest standards and in full compliance with all regulations.

Reactivation restores the activated carbon to a state where it is virtually identical to the properties of the virgin pre-cursor. The organic compounds removed from the spent adsorbent are passed through sophisticated multi-stage treatment system ensuring the reactivation system does not cause pollution while undertaking the recycling operation.
