Chemical Filters / AR502

Granular Activated Carbon Filter

Packed media for gas-phase filtration.

Granular adsorbent media in a filter frame. Media selection depends on the target contaminant, concentration and air velocity.

Standard models and custom dimensions available. Ask us to match your filtration requirements.

Product overview

What it is and where it fits.

The AR502 packed-bed filter holds granular chemical media in a 1–2 inch frame to remove gaseous contaminants — odours, VOCs, acidic or alkaline gases and sulfur compounds — that particle filters cannot stop.

A high adsorbent loading suits higher contaminant concentrations at lower face velocities, where the air has more contact time with the media. The catalogue also describes V-arranged media trays with a 2-inch pleated prefilter, in black-painted cold-rolled steel, epoxy-coated steel or stainless steel.

  • Acidic or alkaline gas control in industrial and laboratory air
  • Sulfur-compound (H₂S) control

Construction & performance

Packed adsorbent design

Granular chemical media is filled into a 1–2 inch filter frame. A high adsorbent loading suits higher contaminant concentrations at lower face velocities where longer residence time is available.

Media & housing

Select adsorbent for VOCs, acidic gases, alkaline gases or sulfur compounds. The catalogue describes V-arranged trays with a 2-inch pleated prefilter. Frame options include black-painted cold-rolled steel, epoxy-coated steel or stainless steel.

Selection

Gas removal depends on the contaminant and operating conditions. Provide gas type, concentration, airflow, temperature and humidity for media selection.

Selection guide

How to choose.

01

Tell us the gas

Gas-phase filters are selected by chemistry. Provide the target gases, concentrations, airflow, temperature and humidity so we can choose the media and bed depth.

02

Low velocity for high loads

Packed beds work best at low face velocity, which gives more contact time — note the low rated airflow compared with particle filters of the same size.

FAQ

Common questions.

Why doesn't a HEPA filter remove odours or gases?

HEPA filters capture particles. Gas molecules are far smaller and pass through; they must be adsorbed or chemically neutralised by media such as activated carbon.

How long does a carbon filter last?

It depends on the gas type, concentration, airflow, temperature and humidity. Service life is estimated from these conditions and confirmed by monitoring.
