Air Cleaning Solutions for Drum Vents & Valves
Drums used for storing or handling solvents, chemicals, and other materials can release contaminated air when their contents are added or removed. As liquid moves in or out of a drum, displaced air may escape through the bung opening or outside air may be drawn into the drum. Electrocorp provides air filtration solutions designed to help manage these contaminants at the drum vent.
The EZ Flow Air Scrubbing system connects directly to the standard bung opening on compatible 5 to 55 gallon drums. As air moves through the vent, it passes through particulate filtration and a thick activated carbon bed designed to adsorb many gases, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and odors. This helps reduce the release of unwanted airborne contaminants while helping protect the contents of the drum from environmental pollutants.
The EZ Flow uses a 9-inch activated carbon bed along with particulate filtration. Its carbon media can be effective for many common chemicals, while certain complex gases may require specialized carbon or impregnation. Choosing the appropriate filtration depends on the material being stored or handled and the contaminants involved.
Explore Electrocorp's drum vent air purification solution for a practical way to manage gases, VOCs, odors, and airborne particles associated with drum filling and emptying applications.
Frequently asked questions
What is a drum vent air filter?
A drum vent air filter is designed to clean air moving into or out of a chemical drum. It helps capture airborne particles, gases, VOCs, and odors while helping protect the contents of the drum from environmental contaminants.
How does the Electrocorp EZ Flow drum vent filter work?
The EZ Flow attaches to the standard bung-hole thread of a 5- to 55-gallon drum. Displaced air passes through a particulate filter and a 9-inch activated carbon bed, where many gases, VOCs, and odors are adsorbed.
What types of contaminants can drum vent filters remove?
Drum vent filtration can help control airborne chemicals, gases, VOCs, odors, and particulate matter released or drawn through the drum vent. The standard carbon blend works with many chemicals, while certain complex gases may require specialized carbon or impregnation.
What size drums can the EZ Flow be used with?
The EZ Flow is designed for applications involving 5- to 55-gallon drums. It connects directly to the standard bung-hole thread so displaced air can pass through the filtration system.
When should the carbon filter in a drum vent be replaced?
Carbon media should be replaced when it reaches breakthrough. A strong odor can indicate that the carbon is no longer effectively adsorbing the contaminants. Spent carbon should be discarded according to applicable local regulations.
