Rising Above the Economy
By Edward C. Gregor, Editorial Board Chairman
Dr. David Pui addresses session at American Filtration & Separations Society Spring Conference.
ven though the country is in an
economic downturn, a snapshot of the American Filtration
& Separations Society Spring Conference in Minneapolis, May 4th-7th,
made it look like the industry was experiencing boom times. According to
Suzanne Sower, AFS Executive Manager: “The 2009 and 22nd Annual
Spring Conference was the best attended since 2004 when the AFS
hosted the World Filtration Conference
in New Orleans. We feel attendance
was a direct result of the educational
knowledge exchange and networking
relationship opportunities offered by
the AFS to its membership. Under
these market conditions, individual
and companies can be very choosy
where they spend their money, so we
are thrilled with the industry support
of the AFS.”
The number of conference spon-
E
sorships and exhibitors were also up
over recent years, a fact not lost on Dr.
Barry Verdegan, AFS chairman, who
commented, “Attendance and participation with conference sponsorships
and exhibitors from many of the industry’s leading companies, combined
with the strength of the short courses
and technical program produced our
strongest and best attended conference in recent memory.”
TECHNICAL PROGRAM
The conference began with the
eight half- and full-day short courses,
taught by many of the industry’s leading technologists and most knowledgeable members.
Subjects offered included: Basics in
Liquid Filtration & Separations; Basic
Gas/Air Filtration & Separations; Advanced Engine Filtration; Advanced
Topics in Filter Testing; Microfiltration
Membranes; Ultrafiltration Membranes; Nonwoven Air Filtration
Media; Electrostatic Charging and Electrets for Air Filters; and Liquid Filtration Testing Basics.
The main
conference was structured into three
tracks consisting of 25 sessions, each
with 4 individual presentations over a
period of two and a half days.
Session topics included: Coalescing,
Wastewater Treatment, Microfiltration,
Ultrafiltration, Engine Emission Controls, HVAC, Testing, Filtration Media,
Biofuels, Fuels, Membranes, Drinking
Water, Desalination, Air Standards,

GRPD Comparison of Unused
and Used Activated Carbons
By Henry Nowicki, Wayne Schuliger, George Nowicki and Barbara Sherman
ranular activated carbons
(GAC) are the best available
technology (BAT) to purify
and protect global drinking water supplies. GAC can be manufactured from a
wide variety of natural resource materials. Coal and coconut shells are the dominant raw materials to manufacture GAC
for the drinking water application (1). All
activated carbons are not the same. This
variable family of activated carbons have
fine micro-, meso-, and macro- pore
structures. The micro and meso pores are
most useful for accumulating water contaminants (1). These sized pores can be
revealed with the Gravimetric Rapid Pore
Size Distribution (GRPD) test method.
Over the last nine years PACS Laboratories has provided many applications for
GRPD (2-17). This paper presents a new
application for GRPD. GRPD is now
being used to compare the difference between unused and used GAC in drinking
water applications and other applications
to reveal which pores are filled with adsorbates. By unused GAC we mean starting GAC, which has never been used
before. By used GAC we mean unused
GAC, which has been through a specific
application, such as drinking water or industrial wastewater applications.
G
WHAT PORES ARE USED?
For a potential or actual activated
carbon user it is important to know
what pores (adsorption spaces) are
needed in the specific application.
There are a myriad of different acti-
vated carbons and applications. Most
activated carbon users do not know
what pores that are used in their applications. Today it is possible for users to
determine what pores are needed.
Knowing what pores are filled in the
application provides the opportunity to
select a carbon with more of the pores
they need. With more pores in the application, the user can expect the finished water to be improved and provide
them with longer service times.
GRPD RESULTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Four client samples (Chart A) of
granular activated carbon (GAC) were
fully characterized using the Gravimetric Rapid Pore Size Distribution
(GRPD) method. Two samples were
unused GAC and two were used from
the unused GAC samples. (The client
has determined the definition of used).
The unused GAC were Calgon F-400
(Y-334) and Norit 830 (Y-336).
All four samples were compared to
each other and a commercially available PCB coconut-based carbon of approximately 1200 iodine number. None
of the samples had a weight loss greater
than 2.3% on conditioning (heating the
samples to 150ºC in argon and holding
for 25 minutes).
Losses of less than 8 percent indicate
a well-stored sample that has been protected from moisture pick-up from ambient air during handling and storage
and was also fresh and not oxidized. In
terms of total adsorption pore volume
Chart A
both unused samples out-performed
the used version by 16.8% and 14.9%,
respectively. The difference between the
unused GAC themselves is only about
3%, and the difference between the used
GAC samples is less than 1%. However,
the difference in used samples is dependent on the material adsorbed and
the degree to which the carbon is saturated. All four samples were similar in
terms of the shape of their characteristic curves, but subtle differences in pore
structure at different adsorption energy
levels can be seen in the differential
characteristic curves.
GRPD METHOD SUMMARY
Each GRPD run measured more
than 300 adsorption and desorption
data points covering seven orders of
magnitude in relative pressure (isothermal basis), and three orders of magnitude in carbon loading. The mass
adsorbed was also divided by the carbon mass to generate a weight percent
loading for easier comparison. The raw
data is plotted in Figure 2. At 150ºC the
adsorbent gas, C134a or 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (TFE), is introduced and
the loading increases as temperature is
decreased. Note in Figure 2 that the
mass loading was plotted against temperature but the relative pressure was
also changing. There are three variables
affecting performance that change from
point to point: vapor pressure, partial
pressure, and temperature.
To make comparisons easier, the
large data file of adsorption and desorption points at different temperatures
and relative pressures was simplified.
First the data was interpolated to get 30
evenly spaced points covering the entire data range. Next the adsorption and
desorption results were averaged to get
the equilibrium values (the difference

between adsorption and desorption was
minimal for this sample – no hysteresis). The y-axis is converted to pore volume measures, in cc liquid adsorbed or
cc pores filled per 100 grams carbon, in-
stead of weight percent. The average interpolated data for these characteristic
curves is presented in Table 1, and Figures 1 and 1b expanded.

these carbon samples:
In the equation, y is the
common logarithm of pore volume in cc/100g carbon and x is
the e/4.6V adsorption potential
in cal/cc. Characteristic curve
polynomials are also listed in
Appendix A.
ADSORPTION ISOTHERMS
The characteristic curves are
also translated into adsorption
isotherms using the programs
mentioned above: Figure 3 for
MTBE (weakly adsorbed material), Figure 4 for benzene
(more strongly adsorbed
species) and Figure 5 for phenol at pH=7 (quite strongly adsorbed material).
PORE SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS
The Kelvin equation, modified by Halsey, can be used to
convert the characteristic curve
data to calculated BET surface
areas or pore size distributions.
This is not useful in terms of performance evaluations, but some
audiences are more comfortable
with the concepts of pore radius
and a series of capillary sizes
when thinking about activated
carbon. Figure 6 shows the cumulative pore size distributions
that we include but find of little
use. The single and multi point
BET surface area was calculated
from these curves.
CONCLUSION
The amount contaminants
loaded onto GAC is directly related to the influent concentrations. In drinking water
applications the raw water has low
concentrations, which results in
lightly loaded used GAC. GAC is
completely used when the influent and effluent are equal. Drinking water GAC applications use
3-20% of the original total pore
volume in the unused GAC. This
pore volume difference between
unused and used GAC can be revealed by the GRPD test method.
In contrast to drinking water applications, industrial GAC usage
typically results in use of 20-70%
of the original total pore volume in
the unused GAC. Industrial GAC
applications typically have PPM
concentrations in the raw water
and drinking water has PPB concentrations in the influent. Concentration differences determine
how much of the unused pore volume is filled in the used GAC.

Adding Filtration to Save Money
on Metalworking Coolant Usage
By James J. Joseph
here are several ways to add
filtration systems to existing
coolant reservoirs without investing large sums of money and save
on the costs of coolant disposal. The
three techniques are to install the following:
T
• A sidearm coolant cleaning device
to an existing reservoir with
no filtration.
• A coolant “polishing” device to
improve the clarity of an existing
filtration system.
• An off-line coolant recovery system
for batches removed from
individual machines.
This article is the first in a series of
three on how to implement the techniques.
During difficult economic times
each of these techniques are possible
with a minimum investment and the
potential of a “quicker” payback from
the money saved by reducing the
number of coolant dumps and disposal. The key is to not necessarily
look for a total revamping project, but
to use the funds for dumping as a
budget to improve the system to where
dumping frequency is reduced and a
net savings is realized.
SIDEARM COOLANT
Sidearm filtration (known as bypass
or kidney loop) is when a cleaning device works off a single reservoir to clean
the fluid and send it back to the same
reservoir. Figure 1 shows that it is an
added cleaning unit where none existed
before. Although the term filtration is
mainly used, the units could be any
cleaning mechanism including filters,
centrifuges, magnetic separators or retention tanks.
DETERMINE THE BUDGET RANGE
The premise of this approach is to
see if the money spent for dumping and
disposing of dirty coolant can be used
to install a filtration system which
would improve the coolants’ clarity and
dumping would be less frequent. The
goal is to have the combination of new
filtration and less dumping to be at a
lower annual cost. This is based on the
fact that trucking or treating waste
coolants is viable, and in compliance
with the environmental laws. If they are
not, then the economics take on a completely different set of inputs. There
will be advantages in tool life, machine
maintenance and lower scrap, but these
items can only be estimated and usually take too long to quantify. These rewards will be measurable after the
system is in place. Since the majority of
Figure 1. Sidearm system
Figure 2.
the costs are related to dumping, disposing and replenishment, efforts to
determine their costs should yield a
general idea of the money involved.
The calculations can be simple arithmetic for a given system:
1. Calculate the volume of liquid
dumped and disposed in one year.
2. Determine the cost of disposing of
each gallon (trucking away, waste
treatment).
3. The volume of disposed fluid by
the cost per gallon will give an
annual cost.
4. Add labor costs for each dump for
the same year if they are significant.
5. Add the cost of the fluids which are
needed to replenish the dumped
coolant.
6. The total will be the target for
the annual expenditures.
Of course the quantities of fluid
should be large enough to justify some
action. That does not mean the facility
has to be a large process. It could be a
relatively small volume operation,
which is dumped often in weekly or
monthly cycles.
For example, a typical metalworking
operation with a 5,000-gallon reservoir,
which is dumped every 6 weeks, costs
about $53,280.00 per year. The recog-
7/1/09
3:49 PM
Page 17
nizable scenario includes: coolant disposal cost of $1.00 per gallon, new
coolant concentrate at $8.00 per gallon,
and the mixed coolant concentration at
4 percent. This does not count some
labor costs, which may be applicable.
Even if the money is saved quickly
there usually is not enough cash to install a full flow system, which would
extend the life of the coolant indefinitely; plus it would take too much
time. Therefore, it is more realistic to
see if a sidearm system could be added
and achieve the goal where the combination of installing/operating a new filter and the lower number of dumps can
save money.
SIDEARM OPTIONS
Sidearm selections are usually based
on using a flow rate as a percentage of
the process flow rate. Also, it can be
based on the number of times, within a
given time period, the reservoir’s volume is sent through the cleaning device, i.e., 5,000 gallons at a rate of
50GPM has a turnover every 100 min-

utes. Then the turnover flow rate can
be converted to a percent of the process
flow. Both criteria play an important
role in determining the sidearm flow
rate. Large tanks may have settling and
a low sidearm flow rate may not induce
enough turbulence to keep the unwanted material suspended.
Determining the sidearm flow rates
as a percent of process flow rates allows the use of field data, which is reflected in the math models of systems
as shown in Figure 2. The curves plot
the contaminant levels versus time
(intervals) for different filtration
schemes. The curves compare the
number of dumps when there is “no
filtration” with the number of dumps
when a sidearm flow rate is either at
10 or 50 percent of the process flow
and the device is at least 95 percent efficient. The curve for a full flow system is also shown.
Therefore, if the reservoir had a 10
percent flow through a sidearm system
it would be dumped just once during
the same period where No Filtration
would be dumped 4 times. If the cost
to install and operate the 10 percent
system and the one dump is less than
the cost for four dumps, the project is
economically justified.
A 50 percent system would dump the
reservoir just once for every 6 dumps
with No Filtration. The savings of two
less dumps over the 10 percent system
could justify the 50 percent system.

as sidearm systems are:

• Flat bed pressure filters with roll
media; Figure 3 shows a compact
module.
• Cartridge filters with disposable
elements
• Bag Filters with disposable bags
• Centrifuges
There are other devices, which
could serve, but they are not as common. These include flat bed vacuum,
gravity filters, and magnetic separators
for ferrous operations.
Selection and sizing of the device
must consider the manufacturers
guidelines for the application or benchmarks established with similar installations.
In addition, there are other opportunities to minimize equipment costs.
A number of reconditioned “used”
cleaning devices are now available at a
lower cost. Many filtration suppliers
offer leasing and rental programs
payable in monthly increments. It may
be possible to use a transportable
sidearm module and move it among a
number of tanks on a routine schedule.
FOLLOW THROUGH
Granted, this method is outlining a
different approach for justification to
invest in filtration to save money. This
cursory review offers a guide on how
to quickly measure the magnitude of
the economics. However, once the
range of economics is established, the
need to cover the details is important
to insure the logic is sound. Not all
reservoirs are created equal. Some will
not qualify for any number of reasons.
Others may not necessarily follow the
math model, but still be a feasible candidate. The concept should be reviewed by all involved and by outside
resources if more know-how on filtration options is needed.
Here are just a few of the fundamental questions, which should be
asked for follow through.
1. Are the reservoirs dumped for
reasons other than suspended
contaminants?
2. Will a reduced dumping volume
change the cost per gallon to treat
or truck away?
3. What turnover rate will be
practical?
4. What are the true operating costs
for the sidearm device?

New Salt Aerosol Automated Filter Tester
By Don Largent, Air Techniques International
s almost everyone in the industry is aware, the National
Institute of Occupational
Safety & Health (NIOSH) 42 CFR Part
84, Approval of Respiratory Protective
Devices, subpart K – Non-Powered AirPurifying Particulate Respirators, requires respirators to pass loading tests
using one of two aerosol challenge
agents: sodium chloride for N-series
certification, and Dioctyl Phthalate
(DOP) or equivalent liquid particulate
aerosol for R-series or P-series certification. These loading tests are performed at either 85 ± 4 liters per
minute for filtering face pieces and single filters, or 42.5 ± 2 liters per minute
where filters are to be used in pairs.
Air Techniques International (ATI)
is introducing a new automated filter
tester, the 100S, to address industrytesting needs with regard to the sodium
chloride testing requirement, complimenting the current TDA-100P oil
aerosol model. The 100S Salt Aerosol
Automated Filter Tester provides very
comparable results to the current single source instrument in the industry.
However, its simple yet progressive design allows the 100S to exceed in areas
where the competition falls short by offering features and benefits to maximize operator productivity and
minimize service and maintenance
while keeping everything easy for the
end user. At almost twice the aerosol
concentration of the competition, load
tests can be performed in half the time.
By utilizing appropriately sized and
designed photometric detection and a
creative, yet simplified, pneumatic design approach, the 100S is capable of full
flow sampling and measurement – both
upstream and downstream – with a single solid-state photometric detector. This
not only reduces the number of detection components, but also has a ripple effect with regard to the overall plumbing,
A
valving, required system filtration, and
support flow and resistance measurements, guaranteeing accurate and stable
operation of the instrument. Another result of this simplified design is not only
less overall maintenance and service, but
also easier accessibility to serviceable
items and components. Furthermore, the
100S also minimizes daily routine maintenance with its patent pending aerosol
generation and automatic aerosol reagent
replenishment system.
The 100S is a bench top tester with an
optional lower base/cabinet on casters
and an optional local exhaust module. It
is ideally suited for testing filters and filtering face pieces with efficiencies up to
99.9995%. Verification tests assured the
aerosol meets the requirements of the
NIOSH standard of 0.075±0.020 µm
count median diameter and a geometric
standard deviation of less than 1.86 at
flow rates up to 100 L/min. The measurements were taken with a TSI Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS).
Simply put, the 100S was designed
to meet a known industry standard
and, most importantly, with the customer in mind. It offers reliable, consistent testing results with a lower
initial cost, lower service and calibration expenses, reduced equipment
down time, and significantly faster and
“set and forget” load testing.
