Carbon Saturation Indicator Guide

The document describes a carbon saturation indicator device that monitors when activated carbon beds in vapor adsorbers need replacing. The indicator contains media that changes color from purple to brown when volatile organic compounds break through the saturated carbon. Installation involves threading the indicator into an opening on the adsorber drum lid. Checking the indicator regularly indicates when the carbon is saturated and needs replacing to maintain effective treatment of air and water.
