Frequently Asked Questions About Liquid & Vapor Phase Activated Carbon Media

Choosing the right carbon media can raise a lot of practical questions, especially when weighing the differences between liquid and vapor phase options. To help you make confident decisions, we’ve gathered answers to some of the most common inquiries about liquid and vapor phase activated carbon media and how they perform in real-world applications.

What is the difference between liquid phase and vapor phase activated carbon media?

Liquid phase media is designed to treat waterborne contaminants, while vapor phase media targets pollutants in the air. Both rely on adsorption but are engineered differently to handle the unique properties of liquids versus gases.

What are the signs that vapor phase carbon media needs to be replaced?

Indicators include reduced odor control, noticeable emissions, or pressure drop across the bed. Regular monitoring and media life analysis help identify these changes before they affect system performance.

Is activated carbon media environmentally friendly?

Yes. Activated carbon is a natural material that can often be reactivated or recycled after use. By capturing harmful contaminants, it also helps facilities meet environmental standards and protect surrounding communities.
