FAKA: Our market-leading activated carbon filter for biogenic gas plants
Learn more about our market-leading, integrated activated carbon filter solutions from our FAKA series. These large, stationary filters remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S), siloxanes, and organic silicon compounds from gas which needs to be purified.
They are particularly suitable for higher raw gas loads and flow rates, and can easily and safely be refilled on site, with new activated carbon. There is also a two-chamber system (K2) version, for even longer service life. Please get in touch if you require a solution with different measurements and specifications, as we are always more than happy to advise you.
FAKA: The high-performance activated carbon filter for demanding applications
The stationary, steel, activated carbon adsorbers (FAKA) are best suited for medium to large plants. In their standard version, our FAKA models can hold between 1,000 to 20,000 liters of activated carbon. Our FAKA filters are available as a single-chamber version (K1) and also an innovative two-chamber system (K2). The two-chamber system has the advantage of optimizing service life, as the activated carbon in the upper chamber can be loaded more optimally.
Our FAKA range in detail:
- Stationary filter: Activated carbon is replaced on-site
- Performance: Suitable for higher raw gas loads and volumetric flows
- Efficiency: Maximization of service life through two-chamber system (K2)
- High pollutant absorption: even at high raw gas loads
- Versatile product solutions: Wide range of filter sizes and capacities
- Cost-effective operation: Fast and clean filling and emptying
- Maximum safety: Compliance with strict TRAS 120 requirements
With our extensive range of different filter sizes and capacities, we can offer flexible solutions for your plant.
