Mobile interchangeable ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER for the treatment of liquids.

DESCRIPTION
The MOBICON® is a mobile interchangeable activated carbon adsorption filter, specially developed for the treatment and purification of water and liquids. This mobile filter is adsorber and transport vessel in one. This mobile container (MOBI-le CON-tainer) can be used on-site for industrial applications such as waste water treatment, groundwater remediation, treatment of leachate and also for the purification of chemicals, foods, drinking water, ... The MOBICON® is delivered pre-filled on site by a DESOTEC truck. The frame of the filter allows it to be placed on a flat and hard surface.

The filter is operated until saturation of the activated carbon. Once the activated carbon is saturated, the entire filter is replaced by another unit, filled with fresh carbon. This eliminates the need for spent activated carbon disposal by the user and minimizes manipulation and transport costs. Once the mobile filter is returned to DESOTEC, it is discharged of spent carbon, cleaned, checked and refilled with new carbon.
The MOBICON® comes complete with piping, valves and connections suitable for immediate connection to the stream to be treated. The filter is normally connected with flexible hosing and is used down-flow.
The MOBICON® is used on a simple and economical way as single filter or in series or in parallel to treat liquids.

FEATURES

SERVICE
In addition to supplying activated carbon, DESOTEC ACTIVATED CARBON acts as a consultant / contractor for a full range of applications, equipment, filters and adsorbers (also fixed) and offers the service regeneration / treatment of the used carbon.

RECYCLING BY THERMAL REACTIVATION
Once the granular activated carbon is saturated or the treatment objective is reached, it can be recycled, by thermal reactivation, for reuse. Reactivation involves treating the spent carbon in a high temperature furnace to over 800°C. During this treatment process, the adsorbed organics on the carbon are thermally destroyed. Recycling by reactivation is a highly skilled process to ensure that spent activated carbon is re-activated to a reusable quality. The DESOTEC reactivation furnace is an indirect type, based on the latest technology and meeting the highest ecological standards. Recycling activated carbon meets the environmental need to minimise waste, reducing CO₂ emissions and limiting the use of the world's resources. The return of the spent activated carbon is subject to acceptance procedures.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

PRESSURE DROP
For the treatment of water and liquids, granular activated carbon is normally used. For the calculation and the prediction of this pressure drop, use the pressure drop graph (on request). The pressure drop depends on the mesh-size of the granular carbon and the design of the filter itself.

SAFETY MESSAGE
Wet activated carbon removes oxygen from air causing a severe hazard to workers inside carbon vessels and enclosed or confined spaces. Before entering such an area, sampling and work procedures for low oxygen levels should be taken to ensure ample oxygen availability, observing all local, state, and federal regulations.
