A Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Adsorber (for Gaseous Streams) is used to represent an equipment resource that hosts a GAC adsorption procedure (for gaseous streams) with a main objective to remove hydrophobic organic compounds from a gaseous feed stream (typically air). This happens by adsorption on the packing (typically granular activated carbon) during the adsorption phase and by subsequent desorption to a regeneration gas (typically steam, hot air or hot inert gas) during the regeneration phase. The procedure can be executed in a continuous or semi-continuous mode.
