Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Ammonia-specific media | AMMOSORB 100-PF, a dedicated phosphoric-acid-impregnated ammonia adsorber media | Perry Fiberglass Products |
| System configurations | Vertical Radial Flow (RF), Vertical Single Bed (B1), Vertical Dual Bed (B2), Horizontal V-Bank (V), Horizontal Single Bed (H1), Horizontal Dual Bed (H2), plus trailer-mounted and manhole-insert configurations | Perry Fiberglass Products |
| Vent insert capacity | Vent Inserts sized for flows up to 15 CFM | Perry Fiberglass Products |
| Ancillary monitoring | Hydrogen sulfide monitors, airflow sensors, and carbon saturation indicators offered as system accessories | Perry Fiberglass Products |
Carbon saturation indicators and airflow sensors are offered specifically to instrument in-field media breakthrough rather than relying on downstream odor complaints to signal it.
Ammonia is a base gas that plain activated carbon doesn't chemically bind well — AMMOSORB 100-PF exists because it's phosphoric-acid-impregnated specifically to react with and hold ammonia, the same acid/base logic that makes Perry's chlorine media (sodium-thiosulfate-impregnated) a different product entirely rather than one generic carbon line.
Every material and product claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Chemical compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature, and duty cycle — confirm current specifications with the manufacturer and request a spec review before final specification.
