PECO 636-CAC-PM Activated Carbon Separation Cartridge filter for amine and glycol process purification

MeiTong Filtration is a professional manufacturer and supplier of industrial filtration solutions in China, offering high-performance replacement filter elements designed to match major global OEM standards. The 636-CAC-PM Activated Carbon Canister is engineered as a reliable, direct replacement for the Parker PECO CarboMax series, delivering efficient liquid-phase adsorption and process fluid purification.

Designed for demanding industrial environments, the 636-CAC-PM effectively removes hydrocarbons, organic contaminants, and dissolved impurities to reduce foaming risks and protect downstream equipment.

Target Applications: Oil & gas production, natural gas processing, petroleum refining, petrochemical processing, wastewater treatment, boiler feed water, and general process water purification.

Compatible Fluids: Triethylene Glycol (TEG) and other glycols, Amine sweetening solvents (MEA, DEA, MDEA),Selexol and Sulfinol gas treating solvents, Industrial process water and wastewater, Selected lubricating oils.

Adsorption Mechanics : Outside-to-Inside Radial Flow: Fluids pass through the outer support and migrate radially inward toward the perforated core, ensuring maximized contact time with the carbon media.    

Adsorption Purification: Soluble contaminants, organic impurities, pigments, and foaming agents are captured within the microporous structure of the activated carbon molecules via physical and chemical adsorption.  

Effluent Polish & Color Removal: Efficiently removes color bodies and contaminants (e.g., in Triethylene Glycol and Amine systems) to restore fluid quality and prevent process foaming.  

Application

Amine Sweetening: Handling amine solutions such as MEA, DEA, and MDEA to eliminate antifoam agents, hydrocarbon accumulation, and degradation products.

Glycol Dehydration Systems: Removing color and impurities from triethylene glycol (TEG) and other glycols used in natural gas processing.

Specialty Solvents and Acid Gas Removal: Purifying process solvents in acid gas removal systems such as Selexol and Sulfinol.

Lubricating Oils and Water Treatment: Refining, decolorization, and filtration of industrial lubricating oils and oil products, as well as produced water treatment.

Petrochemical

Purification of refinery process fluids and hydrocarbon liquids.

Purification of various chemical process liquids and solvents.

Industrial oil purification and process condensate treatment.

Chemical Industry

Deep purification of organic solvents and chemical solutions.

Process water purification and removal of organic pollutants.

Premium Virgin Activated Carbon: Filled with 100% virgin coal-based granular activated carbon (8x30 mesh) processed via high-temperature steam activation, maximizing adsorption sites for both high and low molecular weight impurities.

Durable Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with perforated plated steel inner core and outer support, plated steel end caps, polymer-based gaskets, and a stainless steel cable handle for easy installation and removal.

High-Capacity Adsorption: Optimizes contact time and removal efficiency for heavy hydrocarbons, color bodies, and surface-active contaminants.

Dual Protection Covers: Features cotton core covers and outer covers to retain carbon particles and prevent carbon fines from shedding into the effluent stream.

Foaming Prevention: Protects amine and glycol dehydration/sweetening systems by continuously stripping out degradation byproducts that cause foaming and operational upset.

High Operational Tolerance: Operates effectively at temperatures up to 300°F (149°C) and handles maximum differential pressures up to 90 psid (6.2 bar).

Direct OEM Compatibility: Designed for vessel housings that accommodate one or multiple activated carbon canisters, with the process fluid entering the canister from the top. Common manufacturers of these filter housings include Nowata, Jonell, PECO Series 10 filter vessels , Exterran, Valerus, Hanover, Smith, Global Vessel, and KW International competitor housings (compatible models include 1120-C, 1122-C, 1122-C-2.25, 719-C, 720-C, 722-C ).
