Product Overview

Honeycomb Activated Carbon (HAC) is a structured adsorption medium designed for gas-phase treatment applications requiring high airflow capacity and low system resistance. Unlike granular or pelletized activated carbon, honeycomb carbon is manufactured with parallel flow channels that allow process air to pass through the media with relatively low pressure loss.

The combination of adsorption capacity and airflow characteristics makes honeycomb activated carbon suitable for large-volume, low- to medium-concentration VOC treatment systems, air purification equipment, solvent recovery processes, and odor control applications.

Different formulations, dimensions, and cell densities can be selected according to airflow requirements, contaminant characteristics, and system design.

Key Features

Low Airflow Resistance

The honeycomb channel structure allows air to pass through the media with reduced pressure drop compared with many packed-bed carbon systems. This characteristic can be beneficial in applications involving large airflow volumes.

Developed Pore Structure

Depending on the raw material and activation process, the carbon contains a combination of micropores and mesopores suitable for adsorption of many organic compounds commonly found in industrial exhaust streams.

Structural Stability

The monolithic design provides mechanical strength suitable for installation in adsorption units, air treatment equipment, and filtration systems.

Configurable Cell Density

Multiple channel densities are available to accommodate different airflow velocities, adsorption requirements, and pressure drop limitations.

Impregnation Compatibility

Selected grades can be chemically impregnated for treatment of sulfur compounds, acid gases, aldehydes, and other specific contaminants.
