Other Applications
Specialty grades for solvent recovery, food and beverage purification, edible oil, and related industrial processes.
Black Opal supplies specialty grades for solvent recovery plus food and beverage purification work beyond the main water, mining, gas, and refinery categories.
Solvent recovery
Activated carbon adsorbs vaporized solvents from the exhaust air and then releases them during regeneration with hot steam or inert gas so the recovered solvent can be reused.
Food and beverages
Activated carbon removes undesired odor and taste from beverages and edible oils, purifies brewery CO2, and removes residual disinfectants including chlorine, chloramines, and THMs.
Grades and outputs
Specialty applications require application-matched activity levels, desorption characteristics, filtration performance, and purity instead of a one-size-fits-all carbon grade.
