ACTIVATED CARBON TECHNOLOGY
Choosing the right carbon for an application involves understanding the technical details and desired treatment objective. This knowledge is key when selecting the most cost-effective product with the physical and adsorptive properties necessary to achieve the treatment objective, minimize carbon changeouts and provide the lowest operating costs. We understand the complexity of applications and consider all the variables involved to maximize efficiency.
Sprint has over 50 years combined experience with adsorption and filtration applications, system design, carbon selection, turnkey service, carbon reactivation and technical support. Sprint offers a wide range of activated carbon products for vapor and liquid streams. We provide virgin products manufactured from coconut shell, anthracite and bituminous coals. We also offer our superior vapor and liquid phase reactivated carbons as an alternative to virgin carbon for applicable streams.
