Activated Carbon Vessel
Manufactured in the UK by Cowens. Heavy-duty activated carbon vessels and filtration columns engineered to adsorb organic compounds, VOCs, dissolved hydrocarbons, and odours from water and air streams.
Liquid Phase Carbon Filtration Vessels
Cowens liquid phase activated carbon vessels provide high-capacity adsorption for contaminated water treatment. Designed to strip dissolved hydrocarbons, organic solvents, pesticides, and trace pollutants during groundwater remediation and industrial wastewater processing.
- ✔ Virgin coal or coconut shell-based granular activated carbon (GAC)
- ✔ Heavy-duty pressure-rated vessels built for continuous pump operation
- ✔ Internal distribution laterals ensure even liquid flow and prevent channeling
- ✔ Quick-connect fittings for rapid inline deployment on site
Vapour Phase & Odour Control Vessels
Engineered for air extraction systems, soil vapour extraction (SVE), and vent gas scrubbing. These vessels capture volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chemical vapors, and nuisance site odours before exhaust air is safely released.
