VariSorb® XL filters consist of filter elements assembled in a V-bank configuration in High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) end caps, and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) profiles. The header and cell sides provide a sturdy construction that resists damage during shipping, handling, and operation. The absence of metal components makes VariSorb® XL filter fully incinerable. The VariSorb® XL filter features a pleated media consisting of very high activity carbon particles bonded into a matrix of mini carbon granulate embedded between two non-woven synthetic layers. The very small carbon granules, unlike traditional granular bed chemical filters, provide a granular microstructure that ensures a much higher effective area per pound of media, resulting in a high spontaneity of adsorption.
