The Continental Carbon Group Bubble Tight Isolation Damper (BTD) is designed for isolation of critical filter trains or environmental emission control systems during change-out, decontamination, shutdown, and/or testing services without disabling the entire system or risking air emissions that could affect compliance. Damper operation can be manual or electric. Dampers can be manufactured out of 304 stainless steel. Other materials available upon request.

In 1960, Barnebey Cheney (now Continental Carbon Group, formerly Barnebey Sutcliffe), pioneered the usepioneered the use of special HVAC filter support systems for the nuclear power industry, now known as Containment Systems. They are installed wherever the air to be filtered contains the most hazardous contaminants. Containment Systems include special features for service and maintenance, which provide greater safety for the operator. These features prevent release of the contaminants into the air surrounding the containment system.

The Continental Carbon Group Front and Side Access assemblies are commercial and industrial duty activated carbon filters designed to purify air streams contaminated with odors and irritants associated with new construction and furnishings, manufacturing processes, and other air pollutants. In most cases the purified air can be recirculated, resulting in reduced make-up air requirements and energy savings.

The granular DACORTM cartridge (GDC) is the answer to your indoor air purification needs. It can be ordered with any of our dozens of activated carbon for the purification of air streams for indoor occupied spaces to improve air quality and absorb problem odors. The unique design of the highcapacity cartridge filter (over 80 million square feet of carbon surface area per filter) features low pressure drop for economical operation. The GDC filter provides exceptional performance associated with recirculated air applications. The spent cartridge is suitable for incineration or inclusion as a part of land-fill solid waste directly.

Continental Carbon Group’s cassette (BSC) filters are designed to fit a wide range of traditional cassette housings. All cassettes may be filled with any of our over 100 choices of granular activated carbons as your application warrants. The BSC is designed to deliver years of trouble- free service and can be refilled numerous times. The frame can handle airflows up to 2,000 cfm with minimal pressure drop. BSC’s are typically used for indoor air purification applications in commercial HVAC systems for:

Designed to fit containment housings, the Type FV-Activated Carbon Adsorber provides high-efficiency, single-pass filtration of gaseous contaminants from nuclear power or medicine ventilation air streams, laboratories working with mercury and heavy metal compounds, military and government installations providing destruction, testing or collective protection from chemical warfare agents, and any facility utilizing extremely hazardous chemicals.

The disposable DACOR® panel filter uses activated carbon in conventional 5/8″-, 1″-, and 2″-deep frames for improved indoor air quality in occupied spaces. The unique honeycomb design filled with granular activated carbon provides exceptional performance and long life in recirculating air applications. The granular DACOR® panel filter is available in a variety of standard and custom sizes. These filters reduce energy costs, have low airflow resistance, are lightweight and durable, and can be easily installed with any media. The granular DACOR® panel is also available with a 1/4” nonwoven, one-sided polyester filter for dust control.

Continental Carbon Group deep bed activated carbon adsorbers are designed for greater than 99.9% removal of corrosive gases, volatile organic compounds (VOC), odors, and other hazardous chemical applications where high air flow or high contaminate concentrations exist. To minimize service costs, deep bed adsorbers are sized to provide an approximate annual quantity of activated carbon for the removal of specified contaminants.

Continental Carbon Group stocks HEPA filters that handle airflow up to 2,000 scfm, and a minimum efficiency of 99.97%. All HEPA filters are designed for seamless installation in all Continental Carbon Group equipment. It is recommended that HEPA filters be preceded by a prefilter to capture larger particles and increase HEPA life.

Continental Carbon Group’s High Flow VENTSORB® (HFVS) emission control units were developed to utilize granular activated carbon to treat air/vapor containing vollatile organic compounds (VOC), acid gases, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and other contaminant emissions from a variety of applications at industrial and commercial sites. There are four sizes available to treat airflows up to 3,000 cfm in a single system. These units are designed to allow selection of the optimum size to economically solve air treatment needs and are constructed with features that allow for ease of installation and operation.

High-Efficiency Particulate Adsorber (HEPA) housings are commercial and industrial duty filter housings designed to remove particulate contaminants from air streams. HEPA housings (HH) are utilized when 99.9% or greater particulate free air is required. They can be added to existing HVAC systems for upgrade to HEPA level filtration. When the primary concern is particulate contamination, these housings are a direct fit. In some cases, the purified air can be recirculated resulting in reduced make-up air requirements and energy savings. Please note that The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends against recirculation of HEPA filtered air for biological substance. HEPA housings are completely factory assembled and self-supporting.

PROTECT™ V vapor-phase carbon adsorber canisters are air or vapor treatment units for use in applications requiring high pressures or slight vacuum conditions. PROTECT™ V canisters contain all of the operating elements required for utilization of granular activated carbon in air or vapor treatment, including a flat carbon bed support across the entire bed’s cross sectional area and plenum area below this support for effective air introduction and distribution across the bed. The canisters are constructed of unlined carbon steel with a stainless steel screen bed support for use with activated carbon in air treatment.

The PUR AIR® COMBO filter fits easily in place of any standard 2”-thick throw-away particulate prefilter. As air passes through the PUR AIR® COMBO, dust is removed in the particulate section and odorous gases are controlled in the activated carbon section. The PUR AIR® COMBO is most effective in a recirculating application. Each time the recirculated air passes through the filter, its level of purity is increased.

The FJI™ filter is an activated carbon, refillable panel typically used in our FLS™, FJS™, FLD™, or FJD™ housings. The panels can be packed with any of the dozens of available activated carbon products offered by Continental Carbon Group, as well as with other adsorptive media. The panels are available in painted carbon steel, plastic, aluminized steel, or stainless steel construction. Standard size is 24” x 24” nominal with 1”, or 2” depths. Custom sized carbon filter panels are also available based on customer need. Continental Carbon Group also offers a wide range of carbon panels in specific configurations that provide an alternative to the original equipment supplied and with a much larger range of media choices to meet your specific treatment objectives and achieve lower operation and maintenance costs.

Economical and compact, the VENTSORB® series of drum activated carbon adsorbers is ideal for low-flow (less than 500 cfm) air purification applications at industrial, laboratory, and manufacturing facilities. Chemical, petrochemical, food, pulp and paper, and many other industrial plants are frequent users of the VENTSORB® for continuous treatment of vented emissions. Here are a few examples of user applications for control of small volume organic contaminant and/or odorous gas emissions:
