Activated Carbon Fiber Cloth Adsorber

Abstract

Regenerative filtration based upon activated carbon cloth (ACFC) and direct ohmic heating is being investigated for both environmental and military applications. Although these Electrothermal Swing Adsorption (ESA) systems have been demonstrated at the bench and pilot scale, further development is needed for scale up and manufacturability. This project consisted of the design, manufacture and testing of a tenth scale Vapor Phase Removal and Recovery System (VaPRRS) filter prototype. The adsorption filter created during this project would function as the primary adsorption filter in a VaPRRS used during the painting of United States Air Force aircraft wheel wells. The VaPRRS is expected to replace the single use filters currently used in this application and provide performance and overall system cost benefits.
