6.1 Site Services and Disposal

Removal service - emptying of solvent recovery adsorbers

To simplify the operation of an adsorption system CPL Carbon Link is able to provide a comprehensive media handling package, including the supply of all necessary labour and equipment to undertake the required work.

This service extends beyond the handling of the media, and can often involve arranging repairs to adsorption equipment and process appraisal to assess the operation of individual facilities. A team of highly experienced operators are used offering flexibility to meet site requirements.

Filling Service - This work is generally undertaken using high power water jet eductors to pump a slurry of water and activated carbon into the adsorption system. This method offers the benefits of being simple to operate, minimising attrition products and assisting in commissioning procedures.

Removal Service - This process is often considered both difficult and laborious involving the use of significant numbers of man hours for even the smallest filtration systems. CPL Carbon Link can often undertake this operation using high volume, air conveying equipment designed for the transportation of granular products. The system provides the facility for the transfer of spent adsorbent into a variety of bulk containers to assist in the easy removal from site.

Often, the removed spent product will be returned for reactivation and this is easily undertaken by CPL Carbon Link, assisting with the completion of all necessary documentation. However, in some cases reactivation is not a viable alternative and the material must be disposed of in a responsible and environmentally sensitive manner.

Activated carbons saturated with a wide range of organic compounds can be dealt with using this technique. Specialist advice is readily available to assist you with your specific requirements.
