Product Overview

PL-360 and PL-460 represent the mid-tier performance level in our coal columnar series, delivering CTC activity above 60% for industrial environments with elevated organic vapor concentrations. Produced through the same precision extrusion and steam activation process as the PL-350/450 series, these pellets offer enhanced micropore development that translates to faster adsorption kinetics and longer service intervals.

The 3 mm PL-360 and 4 mm PL-460 configurations maintain the same high crush strength and uniform geometry, making them suitable for fixed-bed odor control, industrial ventilation, and process exhaust where moderate to heavy VOC loads are encountered. The improved CTC value provides a performance buffer for variable operating conditions without stepping up to premium solvent-recovery grades.

Key application areas

  • Industrial VOC Capture — Handles higher-concentration organic vapors from chemical processing, coating operations, and printing exhaust where standard 50% CTC grades may experience premature breakthrough.
  • Municipal & Industrial Odor Control — Treats sewerage, composting, and food waste off-gases containing complex sulfur and organic odor compounds.
  • Paint & Coating Booth Exhaust — Provides extended capture capacity for solvent-rich spray booth streams, reducing changeout frequency during high-production periods.
  • Ventilation System Protection — Integrates into HVAC and process building ventilation to protect worker health in environments with fluctuating organic vapor levels.
  • Laboratory & Pilot Plant Exhaust — Offers reliable organic vapor capture for R&D and small-scale chemical production facilities.

Key advantage

  • Enhanced Capacity Buffer: CTC >60% delivers additional adsorption capacity that extends time-to-breakthrough compared to 50% CTC grades under identical loading, reducing maintenance windows.
  • Consistent Extrusion Geometry: Uniform 3 mm and 4 mm pellets ensure predictable pressure drop and even flow distribution, simplifying vessel design and blower specification.
  • Proven Coal Base Durability: Bituminous coal precursor provides >90% crush strength and thermal stability for reliable performance in heated exhaust streams.
  • Flexible Application Range: Bridges the gap between general odor control and dedicated solvent recovery, eliminating the need to stock multiple carbon types.

  • Q
    What is the real-world difference between 50% and 60% CTC in odor control?
    A

    Under identical operating conditions, the 60% grade provides additional adsorption capacity that extends time-to-breakthrough, particularly during variable loading events. For steady-state municipal odor control, both grades perform reliably.

  • Q
    Can PL-360/PL-460 be blended with other media?
    A

    Yes. They are commonly used as a primary adsorption layer upstream of impregnated carbons for multi-contaminant streams containing both organics and acid gases.

  • Q
    Are these grades regenerable?
    A

    Yes. Thermal steam reactivation can restore a significant portion of original capacity. The robust pellet structure survives multiple regeneration cycles with acceptable attrition.

  • Q
    Do 3 mm and 4 mm pellets require different vessel design?
    A

    3 mm pellets allow higher face velocities or shallower beds; 4 mm pellets suit deeper beds with lower velocity. Our technical team can model optimal configurations for your flow and space constraints.
