Laboratory testing
Laboratory activated carbon testing
At Ecosystems Europe BV, we operate a dedicated in-house laboratory specializing in activated carbon testing and gas absorption testing for a wide range of industrial and environmental applications. Our laboratory provides reliable performance assessments for critical gases including VOC (volatile organic compounds), H₂S (hydrogen sulfide), SO₂ (sulfur dioxide), and NH₃ (ammonia)—helping manufacturers, engineers, and environmental managers evaluate the efficiency of gas scrubbers and carbon filtration systems under real operating conditions.
Activated carbon testing services
Activated carbon is a key material in air purification, water treatment, and industrial gas scrubbing.
Our laboratory offer a full range of ASTM-compliant activated carbon tests that assess adsorption capacity, pore structure, and filter durability.
Butane Activity
Measure how much organic vapor activated carbon can adsorb, indicating adsorption efficiency and performance.
Moisture Content
Determines the water retained in activated carbon to predict filter efficiency in humid environments.
Organic Content
Identify organic compounds released at high temperatures, showing the degree of carbonization and contamination
Particle size
Measures particle size distribution of activated carbon using standard sieves to evaluate flow and adsorption performance.
Gas absorption & breakthrough testing
Beyond standard quality analysis, our laboratory performs breakthrough adsorption testing to verify the real performance of activated carbon materials under controlled gas exposure.
These tests determine adsorption capacity and validate compliance with EN 14387:2021 and EN 12941:2009.
ABEK filter classifications
Bas discaigenaits indicate the gas families a filter is testied against during pretkrhough adsorption testing.
Protection capacity of gas filters
The following test standards summarize representatied only for laboratory tests under assess ABEK filter performance.
| Filter type | Test gas | Test gas | Test Concentration [ml/m³] | Min. Breakthrough |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | C₄H₁₂ | 5000 | 17.5 | 35 |
| B | H₂S | 5000 | 7.1 | 40 |
| E | SO₂ | 5000 | 13.3 | 20 |
| K | NH₃ | 5000 | 3.5 | 40 |
