Low-Flow Process Vent, Reactor Vent, Tank Vent and Chemical Vapor Filtration
Data/Cut Sheet

Industrial Odor Control's stainless steel inline activated carbon filters provide a compact, refillable solution for controlling odors and selected gaseous contaminants in low-flow industrial process exhaust systems.

Designed for applications including batch reactor vents, chemical processing equipment, storage tank vents, laboratory exhaust, and specialty manufacturing processes, these filters use application-specific filtration media to address the contaminants present in the exhaust stream.

The stainless steel housing features Tri-Clamp connections for convenient installation, media replacement, and routine servicing. Standard configurations are designed for 5 CFM airflow, with customized configurations available for other process requirements.

Applications

Our inline carbon filters can be used in a variety of low-flow industrial and commercial exhaust applications, subject to review of the process conditions and contaminant compatibility.

• Batch Reactor Vent Filtration: Treat odors and selected chemical vapors released during batch processing operations.

• Chemical Storage Tank Vents: Reduce odors and compatible vapor emissions from tank breathing and low-flow venting.

• Laboratory Process Exhaust: Provide point-of-source treatment for selected laboratory equipment and small process exhaust streams.

• Chemical Manufacturing: Address compatible VOCs and odorous compounds from specialty chemical processing operations.

• Food and Beverage Processing: Treat selected process-related odors where stainless steel construction and serviceable connections are desirable.

• Pharmaceutical and Specialty Manufacturing: Provide exhaust-side odor and vapor treatment for compatible non-sterile process applications.

• Pilot Plants and Research Facilities: Support small-scale manufacturing, research, and process development operations.

• Industrial Vent Polishing: Provide secondary treatment of compatible residual odors and vapors downstream of other process equipment.

Stainless Steel Construction

Standard filter housings are manufactured from 16-gauge 304 stainless steel, with 316 stainless steel available for applications requiring an alternative material.

The housing incorporates 2-inch or 4-inch Tri-Clamp inlet and outlet connections and a separate 2-inch Tri-Clamp media fill port.

The removable fill-port cap allows spent filtration media to be replaced without replacing the entire housing.

Technical Specifications

Specifications represent nominal media bed geometry and design airflow. Actual filtration performance and media service life depend on contaminant type, concentration, temperature, humidity, airflow, and selected filtration media.

Application-Specific Activated Carbon Media

Different gases and chemical vapors require different filtration media. Industrial Odor Control can configure these filters with media selected for the specific process contaminants.

Available configurations include specialized GC-IPA media for ammonia applications. Additional activated carbon and specialty media options can be evaluated for hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), selected volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other compatible gaseous contaminants.

Media selection is based on the chemical composition and operating conditions of the exhaust stream. Not all contaminants are effectively removed by standard activated carbon.

Features and Benefits

• Durable stainless steel housing: Standard 304 stainless steel with optional 316 construction.

• Compact inline configuration: Designed for integration into low-flow process vent and exhaust piping.

• Tri-Clamp connections: Convenient installation, disassembly, and servicing.

• Replaceable filtration media: Refillable housing supports continued use without replacing the complete filter assembly.

• Application-specific filtration: Media options can be selected for different target gases and vapors.

• Custom configurations: Alternative connections, bed depths, housing sizes, orientations, and mounting arrangements available by special order.

Custom Configurations

For applications requiring different flow rates, connection sizes, media capacities, or installation arrangements, Industrial Odor Control can evaluate custom filter configurations.

Custom options include alternative stainless steel construction, larger media beds, modified connections, and specialized media selections.
