SAAFBlend™ GP

Engineered Media

SAAFBlend GP engineered gas removal chemical media is designed to efficiently remove gaseous contaminants from airstreams.

SAAFBlend GP is produced from an equal volumetric mix of SAAFOxidant™ and SAAFCarb™ media. Manufactured of spherical and porous pellets, SAAFOxidant engineered media is composed of a combination of activated alumina and other binders. Potassium permanganate is impregnated in this media combination in order to provide optimum adsorption, absorption, and oxidation of various gaseous contaminants. Potassium permanganate is applied uniformly during pellet formation and is distributed throughout the pellet volume. This process provides the maximum amount of impregnant for chemical reaction and optimal performance. SAAFCarb media is manufactured of pelletized activated carbon media that is composed of high-quality virgin substrates, in order to provide optimum adsorption for various gaseous contaminants.

Adsorptive Process

The SAAFCarb media removes toxic and impure gases by physical adsorption. In this process, the gases remain on the surface of the pellet.

Chemisorptive Process

The SAAFOxidant media chemisorptive process removes the contaminant gases by adsorption, absorption, and chemical reaction. The gas is therefore trapped within the pellet, where oxidation changes the gases into harmless solids, thereby mitigating the possibility of desorption.

Quality Control

SAAFBlend GP media contains an equal volumetric mix of SAAFOxidant and SAAFCarb media. Each media undergoes respective quality control tests.

Packaging Options

SAAFBlend GP media is packaged in one cubic foot containers, and 1,100 lb. (499 kg) super sacks. SAAFBlend GP media is also available packaged in SAAF cartridges, cassettes, and trays.

Application Guidelines

SAAFBlend GP media performs under the following application guidelines (actual capacities and efficiencies may vary):

• Temperature: -4° to 125°F (-20° to 51°C)
• Humidity: 10% – 95% RH
• Suitable for use in commercial and industrial systems with equipment face velocities from 50 to 500 FPM (0.25 – 2.5 m/s).

Refer to appropriate AAF documentation for additional information on contaminant gases.

Installation and Disposal Requirements

The installers must use dust masks, safety goggles, and rubber gloves. The spent SAAFBlend GP media must be disposed of according to local, state, and federal guidelines.

Safety

Wet activated carbon adsorbs atmospheric oxygen, causing low oxygen supply in enclosed areas or packed containers. This can be potentially hazardous for workers who enter these oxygen-depleted areas. Make sure that the workers adhere to the provincial and state safety guidelines.
