In-Situ Regenerated Adsorption Systems

If contaminant levels are sufficiently high to require a high carbon replacement rate, but is not sufficiently high enough to make other technologies cost effective, then a regenerable system may be applicable. The same adsorption principles apply but the carbon is periodically purged or "desorbed" of contaminants using pressurised steam. The resulting condensate can then be disposed of or sent for recycling.
