Abstract

Detectable vapors, odors and smells are removed from a stream of compressed air entering a tubular cartridge and passing axially through a cylindrical bonded granular or supported granular sorbent bed or radially through a bonded granular or supported granular tubular sorbent bed arranged so that the air velocity therethrough is not greater than 300 ft/min and the minimum contact time with the granules is 0.1 seconds, the bed being arranged to be traversed by the entire volume of air passing through the cartridge. The air then passes through a surrounding microporous or pleated filter element prior to being discharged radially from the cartridge.
