Engineering Tool · Adsorption & Chemicals
A professional modeling tool for activated carbon adsorption systems. Calculate usage rates, pressure drops, and vessel geometry based on verified engineering correlations.
Calculate activated carbon requirements, validate vessel dimensions, and estimate pressure drop based on flow and contaminant load.
Actual volumetric flow at the entered operating temperature and absolute pressure.
Reference estimate from contaminant load × target life — independent of the bed dimensions entered below.
Diameter is always required (it sets the flow cross-section). Pick one way to specify how much carbon is in the vessel — height or direct fill mass — so it's unambiguous which value the results below are calculated from.
Based on the carbon bed dimensions entered above.
Pressure drop is a screening estimate from the tool’s built-in empirical correlation.

Liquid pressure-drop results are screening estimates from built-in empirical correlations using temperature-corrected viscosity and mesh-specific terms.
Gas pressure-drop results are screening estimates from built-in empirical correlations using operating gas properties and mesh-specific terms.
