    Sulfur dioxide air filtration

    What is interesting is that I've seen sources that specifically say activated carbon does not work at all - it is totally ineffective especially in humid climates because water tends to fill the voids. On the other hand, I've also seen sources that say it works to a certain extent but is by far...

    Sulfur dioxide air filtration

    We are installing a grease interceptor that can handle mixed waste (FOG and raw sewage from restrooms). The grease interceptor location is too high to gravity feed. This is for a large food court. Anyone else have this problem? What pump would you recommend using? I foresee FOG accumulation in...
