Engineered Media

SAAFOxidant ™ SC gas removal chemical media is engineered to efficiently remove specific gaseous contaminants from most airstreams. Manufactured as spherical, porous pellets, SAAFOxidant SC engineered media is composed of a combination of activated alumina, binders, and potassium permanganate. Potassium permanganate is applied uniformly during pellet formation and distributed throughout the pellet volume to create a completely homogenous particle. This process provides the maximum amount of impregnant for chemical reaction and optimal performance.

Target Impurities

  • Formaldehyde
  • Hydrogen sulfide
  • Lower molecular weight aldehydes and organic acids
  • Nitric oxide
  • Sulfur dioxide

Chemisorptive Process

The SAAFOxidant™ SC chemisorptive process removes the contaminant gases by adsorption, absorption, and chemical reaction. The contaminant is trapped within the pellet and oxidation converts the contaminants into harmless compounds, thereby mitigating the possibility of desorption.

Quality Control

SAAFOxidant™ SC media undergoes the following quality control tests:

  • Apparent Density
  • Crush Strength
  • Moisture Content
  • Pellet Diameter
  • Potassium Permanganate Content

Packaging Options and Application Guidelines

Packaging Options

SAAFOxidant™ SC media is packaged in one-cubic-foot containers, and 1,100 lb. (499 kg) super sacks.

SAAFOxidant™ SC media is also available packaged in SAAF cartridges, cassettes, and trays.

Application Guidelines

SAAFOxidant™ SC media performs under the following application guidelines (actual capacities and efficiencies may vary):

  • Temperature: -4° to 125°F (-20° to 51°C)
  • Humidity: 10% – 95% RH
  • Suitable for use in commercial and industrial systems with equipment face velocities from 50 to 500 FPM (0.25 - 2.5 m/s)

Refer to appropriate AAF documentation for additional information on contaminant gases.
