The Fullers Earth is used to adsorb soluble contaminants such
as gums, resins, waxes and acids from fuels, oils and solvents.
Carbon elements are used for the removal of color and odor
from potable liquids such as water, vegetable oils and mineral oils.
Adsorption elements are not intended for filtration. However, due to thier construction, they
provide filtration down to 5 micron in the Fullers Earth elements and 1 micron in the
Carbon elements. These elements are limited to 300 degrees F and 50-80 PSIDP differential
pressure.
The prime use of Fullers Earth elements as in the removal of acids in oil reclamation and
surfactants in aviation fuels. The largest use of Carbon elements is in the purification of
water. |
