SRC-A 4mm Impregnated Coal Extruded Carbon – High-Capacity H₂S & Sulfide Removal

Key Features

• High-capacity sulfide-specific impregnation

  Alkaline active components chemically react with H₂S and organic sulfides to form stable salts, delivering significantly higher sulfur capacity than plain activated carbon.

• High-activity base carbon substrate

  Base carbon delivers >60% CTC value and >900 m²/g surface area, providing concurrent adsorption of co-existing VOCs and organic odor compounds.

• Uniform 4mm extruded structure

  Consistent cylindrical shape ensures even gas distribution and stable pressure drop across packed filter beds.

• >90% mechanical abrasion resistance

  High particle strength minimizes breakage and dust generation under continuous airflow and system maintenance operations.

Applications

• Wastewater Plant H₂S Breakthrough: Pumping stations, sludge tanks and aeration basins generate hydrogen sulfide that standard carbon cannot reliably capture at low concentrations. SRC-A's alkaline impregnation chemisorbs H₂S into stable metal sulfides, delivering removal capacity where physical adsorption alone fails—especially critical at 1–5 ppm where plain carbon is ineffective.

• Oil & Gas Stream Sweetening: Natural gas, biogas and landfill gas contain H₂S and mercaptans that corrode equipment and violate pipeline specifications. SRC-A's chemical reaction mechanism provides irreversible capture, preventing desorption during temperature or pressure swings.

• Food Processing Sulfide Odor Control: Meat, poultry, fish and rendering facilities generate sulfide odors that create regulatory and neighbor relations issues. SRC-A's targeted impregnation converts these odorous compounds into stable, non-volatile forms within the carbon matrix.

• Chemical Manufacturing Acid Gas Abatement: Sulfur-based raw materials and process intermediates release acidic sulfide emissions. SRC-A's dual mechanism handles both H₂S and co-existing organic odors in a single bed.

Technical Advantages

• Dual mechanism of physical adsorption plus chemical neutralization provides significantly higher H₂S breakthrough capacity than standard untreated activated carbon.

• Higher base carbon activity and impregnant loading compared to economy-grade desulfurization carbons result in longer service life per bed volume.

• Consistent bed packing and predictable pressure drop simplify system design and sizing calculations.

• Manufactured and tested to national activated carbon quality standards for reliable long-term operation.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between SRC-A and SRC-BL?

A: SRC-A uses a higher-activity base carbon with higher total sulfur capacity, making it the premium choice for higher-concentration streams and longer service life. SRC-BL is the economy grade suitable for light-load ambient odor control projects. For ammonia co-existence, ABEK is recommended.

Q: Can SRC-A remove ammonia?

A: SRC-A is formulated specifically for acidic sulfide gases. For ammonia and alkaline odors, we recommend dedicated PFH-K or ARC-A. For mixed streams, sequential bed layers can be arranged.

Q: Is thermal regeneration recommended?

A: Thermal regeneration is not recommended for impregnated sulfide removal carbon, as high temperatures decompose active impregnants. Spent carbon is typically disposed of and replaced. For regenerable alternatives, TLX activated coke supports thermal cycles.
