Product Overview

PL-350 and PL-450 are coal-based columnar activated carbons engineered for general-duty gas-phase contaminant removal. Manufactured from select bituminous coal through crushing, powdering, binder extrusion, and high-temperature steam activation, these pellets deliver consistent CTC activity above 50% with high mechanical strength.

The 3 mm (PL-350) and 4 mm (PL-450) diameters provide options for balancing pressure drop and bed depth in industrial air handling systems. Designed for environments with moderate volatile organic compound (VOC) and odor loads, they offer a cost-effective solution for exhaust treatment and workplace air quality management.

Key application areas

  • VOC Emission Control — Captures hydrocarbons, benzene derivatives, and esters from industrial exhaust streams, helping facilities meet air quality standards without premium-grade costs.
  • Odor Abatement — Adsorbs malodorous compounds in wastewater plants, food processing areas, and waste handling facilities, improving community and worker comfort.
  • Cooking Fume & Oil Mist Treatment — Removes grease and organic vapors from commercial kitchen exhaust and industrial oil mist collectors, protecting ductwork and reducing fire risks.
  • Spray Booth Ventilation — Traps solvent overspray and paint vapors in automotive and furniture finishing operations, supporting compliance with occupational exposure limits.
  • Laboratory Fume Exhaust — Treats diluted organic vapors from research and testing hoods before discharge to atmosphere.

Key Advantage

  • Economical Gas-Phase Performance: CTC >50% delivers sufficient capacity for moderate-load VOC and odor applications at a practical price point for large-volume consumers.
  • Dual Diameter Options: 3 mm pellets minimize pressure drop in high-flow systems; 4 mm pellets maximize bed density and handling convenience in deeper fixed beds.
  • High Crush Strength: >90% hardness withstands bed loading and pneumatic handling without excessive fines generation, maintaining stable bed permeability.
  • Coal-Based Cost Stability: Bituminous coal feedstock ensures predictable pricing and supply security compared to specialty base materials.

  • Q
    When should I choose PL-350 versus PL-450?
    A

    PL-350 (3 mm) suits high-flow, low-resistance applications like large ventilation systems. PL-450 (4 mm) is preferred for deeper beds where maximum carbon weight per vessel and longer contact times are desired.

  • Q
    Are PL-350/PL-450 suitable for solvent recovery?
    A

    These grades are optimized for VOC removal and odor control. For solvent recovery with higher economic value, we recommend PL-380/PL-480 or PL-390/PL-490 with elevated CTC ratings.

  • Q
    Can these pellets be used in moving bed systems?
    A

    The >90% hardness provides adequate durability for fixed beds. For high-stress moving bed or pneumatic conveying applications, consult our technical team for abrasion-resistant recommendations.

  • Q
    What is the typical service life in spray booth applications?
    A

    Service life depends on solvent type, concentration, airflow, and operating temperature. We offer technical support to estimate bed life based on your specific exhaust conditions.
