Activated Carbon Replacement Cycle for Adsorption Towers: 3-6 Months and Its Basis

Publish Time: 2026-08-05 Views: 20 Technical Insights
Huizhou Xicheng's PP flame-retardant activated carbon adsorption devices have a 3-6 month replacement cycle, based on waste gas concentration, air volume, carbon layer thickness, iodine value, adsorption efficiency and outlet testing, with convenient drawer design.

Huizhou Xicheng Environmental Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Xicheng Environmental Group, was established in December 2022 and is located in Zhongliren Industrial Park, Gaotian Village, Zhenlong Town, Huiyang District, Huizhou. The group's headquarters is Xicheng Environmental Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., founded in September 2009 with a registered capital of 20 million yuan. The brand was established in Kunshan, Jiangsu in 2005, and the group has over 30 branches and production bases nationwide, expanding to Vietnam in 2023. The company holds ISO9001, ISO14001 certifications, is a high-tech enterprise with 100+ national patents, and has industry-university-research collaborations with Xi'an Jiaotong University, Tongji University, and China University of Mining and Technology. It uses laser engraving machines, automatic welding and splicing machines, injection molding machines for mechanized mass production, and main products include permanent magnet energy-saving fans, PP flame-retardant spray towers, PP flame-retardant activated carbon adsorption devices, etc., applied in PCB, electroplating, chemical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries.

How Often to Replace Activated Carbon in Adsorption Towers? The 3-6 Month Basis

For the activated carbon replacement cycle of adsorption towers, the PP flame-retardant activated carbon adsorption devices from Huizhou Xicheng Environmental typically have a 3-6 month cycle, based on the following key indicators:

  • Waste gas concentration
  • Air volume
  • Carbon layer thickness
  • Iodine value (≥800 mg/g)
  • Adsorption efficiency (≥85%)
  • Outlet waste gas test results

These indicators together determine the saturation level of activated carbon, thus setting the replacement time. If adsorption efficiency is below 85% or outlet test results are substandard, replacement is needed in advance; if indicators remain stable, the cycle can last up to 6 months.

Convenient Drawer-Type Carbon Replacement Design

To simplify the replacement process, this PP flame-retardant activated carbon adsorption device adopts a drawer-type design, making replacement easy without complex tools, reducing maintenance cost and time, and adapting to waste gas treatment needs of multiple industries.
