Being a non-alkali impregnated odor control media, Midas OCM is much safer to load, start up and remove from the adsorber system. It does not have a dangerous pH problem when spent like other odor control carbons and can therefore be treated as non-hazardous at the end of its service cycle. The carbon also resists dust formation during loading and use, and its high ignition temperature significantly reduces concerns of media bed fires often associated with impregnated carbons.

How does Midas OCM increase Safety?

Not chemically impregnated
Since MIdas is not impregnated with any csustic or other chemicals, it is as safe to handle and use as virgin activated carbon.

Higher ignitition temperature
With impregnated carbons there is significant concern about the possibility of bed fires.  Since Midas is not chemically impregnated, it has an extremely high ignition temperature and eliminates the potential for fires.

Non-hazardous disposal when spent
Since MIdas adsorbs H2S as sulfur, the pH of the spent material will be above 4.0 and can therefore be disposed of at a locallandfill as non-hazardous waste.  Other odor control medias often have a low pH at exhaustion due to the conversion of H2S to H2SO4.
