PLC-350 3mm Coal Columnar Activated Carbon for Odor Control and Gas Purification

PLC-350 is a precision-engineered 3mm columnar activated carbon designed for applications requiring enhanced contact efficiency and rapid adsorption kinetics. Manufactured from high-quality bituminous coal using advanced extrusion and steam activation technology, this grade delivers superior performance in HVAC odor control, indoor air quality management, and gas purification processes. The reduced 3mm diameter (vs standard 4mm) increases surface area-to-volume ratio by 33%, enabling faster mass transfer and higher removal efficiencies in space-constrained filtration systems.

Key Features

  • Enhanced Contact Efficiency: The 3mm pellet offers a higher surface area-to-volume ratio than 4mm pellets, speeding up adsorption and shortening contact time, making it perfect for compact HVAC and portable filtration systems.

  • Superior Odor Control: Its optimized pore structure effectively removes odor-causing molecules, VOCs, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia, delivering high-efficiency odor reduction for industrial and daily applications.

  • Low Pressure Drop: The uniform 3mm size ensures stable airflow with a reasonable pressure drop, making it a great choice for space-limited equipment.

  • CO2 Purification: High purity and stable performance make it ideal for CO₂ treatment in food, beverage carbonation, and industrial gas processing.

  • Catalyst Carrier: With consistent shape and high surface area, it works well as a catalyst carrier in gas-phase reactions.

  • Indoor Air Quality: Low dust and low off-gassing make it safe for indoor use in offices, schools, and healthcare facilities.

Applications

PL-350 and PL-450 activated carbon are versatile adsorbents for a wide range of industrial and environmental applications, including:

  • Air purification: efficiently capturing harmful gases, odors and volatile organic compounds.

  • HVAC systems: improving indoor air quality by removing pollutants and chemical contaminants.

  • CO₂ purification: achieving higher purity in gas separation and treatment processes.

  • Odor control: reducing unwanted odors in food processing, waste treatment and industrial sites.

  • Low-boiling solvent recovery: recycling valuable solvents while lowering environmental impact.

  • Catalyst support: acting as a stable carrier thanks to high porosity and thermal stability.

  • Chemical processing: removing impurities and supporting refining and separation operations.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between PLC-350 (3mm) and PLC-450 (4mm)?

A: PLC-350 (3mm) has higher surface area and faster adsorption with slightly higher pressure drop, ideal for compact systems. PLC-450 (4mm) offers lower pressure drop for high flow rates. They have similar material properties and regeneration ability.

Q2: Is PLC-350 suitable for HVAC systems?

A: Yes. It fits compact HVAC filters with low dust, protects equipment, and lasts 12–24 months in commercial use. Residential systems may need duct and pressure drop checks.

Q3: Can PLC-350 be used for CO₂ purification?

A: Yes. It is widely used in food and beverage CO₂ treatment, removing impurities and odors safely with high efficiency in compact purification units.

Q4: How is PLC-350 for low boiling solvent recovery?

A: It performs excellently, with fast adsorption and high recovery rate for solvents like acetone and methanol. It supports steam regeneration and remains stable in repeated use.

Q5: What maintenance does PLC-350 need in HVAC?

A: Inspect yearly, replace when pressure drop rises or odors appear, keep pre-filters clean, and control high humidity. Replacement cycle: 12–24 months for HVAC, 6–12 months for industrial use.
