Carbon Filters
ERG offers a comprehensive range of carbon filters used as standalone filters or polishing a bio-trickling filter or chemical scrubber discharge. All our dry media filters require no operator intervention and provide guaranteed odour control performance.
Designed and built to BS4994 or BS EN 13121 and fully compliant with WIMES 8.05, our carbon filter systems offer assured performance, guaranteed discharge concentrations and competitive costing.
Key benefits of ERG’s range of carbon filters
- High removal efficiency of H2S and other odours
- Outlet H2S concentrations <5-10 ppb
- VOC polish to <200 ouE/m3
- Filters to treat 200 to 200,000 m3/hr
- Low pressure drop <500 Pa
- Bed life designed to suit requirements
- Low capital cost
- Supplied in PVC/GRP or coated steel

Performance and System Arrangement
ERG has successfully installed over 150 carbon filters in the UK. Performance exceeds 99% H2S and VOC removal efficiency and an odour discharge of <1,000 ouE/m3 is guaranteed for most applications.
All our systems are custom-designed for the odour control duty required, and include installation of:
- Vessel and carbon media, with optional access structure (for walk-on, annular vessels)
- Mist eliminator and/or in-duct air heater for moisture conditioning
- Air extraction fans and ductwork
- Electrical control panel
- Integrated system design with upstream bio-trickling filters or chemical scrubbers
Three filter standard configurations are offered: Deep Bed, Dual Deep Bed and Annular. Bespoke designs are available for special projects.
