Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is also used in a number of gas/air applications to remove contaminants. As the demand for activated carbon continues to grow, so too, does the number of suppliers. It can be an overwhelming decision to choose a suitable product. GAC is used in both air and liquid applications, typically in a fixed bed or series of fixed beds. It is applied as a separation or polishing stage for liquid phase applications. In water for example, it is used to remove organics so as to reduce trihalomethane formation. Typically this a condensation reaction in which the contaminants transition from a gas to a liquid trapped in the micropores of the carbon. Other applications such as hydrogen sulfide odor removal and reduced sulfur compounds require a chemical reaction and GAC’s may be used as-is or impregnated.
Large renewable energy and biochemical consulting firms like Lee Enterprises Consulting will certainly have experts in granular activated carbon. They also offer a wide range of services in the general areas of biofuels, biochemicals, biotechnologies, biomaterials, synthetic biology commercialization, feedstocks, and hemp/cannabis, and will have many specialized business and financial services like due diligence, feedstock availability, grants and loans and bio market research. A big consulting group like this should also offer technical and engineering related services like techno economic analysis, environmental evaluations, feasibility studies, risk analysis and expert witness engagements, and have solid strategic partnerships in place to assist clients with insurance, legal, accounting, plant fabrication, feedstock procurement.
