with activated carbon.
Activated Carbon Units G4, F9, Carbon – With or Without Fan
Modular air filtration units with G4, F9, and activated carbon filters. Available with or without fan. Airflow from 1,500 to 18,000 m³/h. Industrial use.
Activated Carbon Air Purifiers
When they’re needed, how they work, and the regulations they comply with
Activated carbon air purifiers are filtration systems designed to treat air contaminated with odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and chemical vapors—often generated by industrial processes or professional cooking activities.
Their working principle is based on adsorption: pollutants are captured by high-surface-area activated carbon filters, typically configured in cartridges or panel systems.
These units are commonly used:
In professional kitchens, especially where no chimney or flue is available
In laboratories, chemical industries, and production environments generating odors, fumes, and volatile substances
🔍 When Activated Carbon Alone Isn’t Enough
It’s important to note that activated carbon alone is not always sufficient for complete pollutant removal—especially in the presence of:
Persistent or complex odors
Visible white smoke containing fine particles and grease
For these cases, ETC Group Srl offers multistage systems, such as our Arturo Purifier, which integrates:
Activated carbon cartridges
Ozone generators for advanced odor neutralization
Electrostatic filters for the removal of fine particles and visible smoke
📜 Applicable Regulations
All systems are designed in full compliance with Italian and European standards:
D.Lgs. 152/2006 – Part V
National regulation on atmospheric emissions, requiring air treatment systems like activated carbon filtration and ozone oxidation.
UNI EN 13725:2004
European technical standard for odor concentration measurement. Especially relevant when designing systems in residential or sensitive areas.
Regional Regulations
In many Italian regions (e.g. Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany), the use of odor abatement systems is mandatory for installations without a vertical chimney or for wall-mounted exhausts.
💡 If you operate in a regulated sector or want to ensure compliance with local environmental standards, trust ETC Group Srl’s certified solutions.

How do
activated carbon purifiers work?
Difference Between Activated Carbon Units with Only G4 Filter and Those with G4 + F9
When it comes to air purification using activated carbon, proper pre-filtration is essential to ensure both the efficiency of pollutant removal and compliance with current regulations.
🔴 Systems with Only G4 Filter + Activated Carbon – BFSM Models
Units equipped with only a G4 filter before the activated carbon layer offer minimal protection, limited to coarse particles such as dust and grease residues.
Limitations:
Do not remove fine particulates (PM2.5, PM1), which can quickly clog the carbon cartridges
Do not comply with EN 779:2012 standards for fine filtration
Incompatible with ISO 16890, which requires efficiency testing for fine particulate removal (ePM1, ePM2.5)
Significantly reduce the lifespan of activated carbon, compromising performance and increasing maintenance costs
👉 ETC Group Srl does not recommend units with G4-only filters, as they are not compliant with current standards and unsuitable for professional or certified applications.
✅ Systems with G4 + F9 + Activated Carbon – BFSM.AP Models
All professional units by ETC Group Srl are equipped with a G4 pre-filter and a rigid-pocket F9 fine filter before the activated carbon stage.
Advantages:
Fully compliant with EN 779:2012 (now ISO 16890)
F9 filters retain over 95% of particles ≥0.4 µm
Classified as ISO ePM1 ≥80%, in line with modern regulations
Protect the activated carbon cartridges, enhancing performance and extending service life
Enable multistage filtration, which is essential for applications in:
Professional kitchens
Industrial environments
Public venues with air recirculation or wall-mounted exhausts
👉 Only G4 + F9 + activated carbon systems provide effective and regulation-compliant air treatment in controlled environments.
Activated carbon purifiers without motor BFSM
Activated Carbon Filtration Units and Purifiers
Function, Advantages, and Limitations
Activated carbon filtration units are air treatment systems designed to remove odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chemical vapors, and other gaseous pollutants, thanks to the adsorptive capacity of activated carbon.
They are commonly used in:
Professional kitchens (especially in the absence of a chimney)
Chemical or analysis laboratories
Workshops and industrial departments
Ducted HVAC systems
🔧 How They Work
Air Intake
Contaminated air is drawn into the system by an external or integrated fan.
G4 Prefiltration
Air passes through a mechanical pre-filter that removes coarse particles such as dust and grease.
F9 Fine Filtration
Fine particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5) is retained, improving the overall efficiency of the system.
Activated Carbon Treatment
Air flows through activated carbon cartridges, which adsorb odors and VOCs thanks to their high specific surface area.
Post-Filtration (Optional)
Additional filters may capture residual particles or neutralize other agents.
Treated Air Exhaust
Filtered air is either released back into the environment or ducted to the outside.
✅ Advantages of Activated Carbon Units
Effective odor control
Ideal for environments with unpleasant or persistent odor emissions.
VOC removal
Helps reduce exposure to substances potentially harmful to health.
Modular and flexible installation
Can be integrated into existing systems or mounted on walls, ceilings, or within ducts.
Easy maintenance
Requires simple periodic actions such as filter replacement.
🔬 Ozone Integration: Why It’s Essential
While activated carbon is effective, it is not always sufficient to neutralize all odors—especially those that are intense, greasy, or persistent.
That’s why integrating an ozone generator can significantly enhance overall system performance.
⚡ Benefits of Ozone
Oxidation of complex odors
Ozone is a powerful oxidizer capable of neutralizing compounds that activated carbon alone cannot absorb.
Reduction of bacterial and viral load
Acts as an air disinfectant, reducing mold, viruses, and bacteria.
Prolonged carbon filter life
Decreases pollutant load on the filters, extending system autonomy.
🔷 In ETC Group Srl's advanced systems, ozone is used together with electrostatic filters and activated carbon (Arturo Purifier) to effectively reduce fumes, odors, and vapors.
⚠️ Limitations of Activated Carbon-Only Systems
Do not remove visible smoke or fine dust
In the presence of white smoke (e.g., from cooking), electrostatic filters are required.
Filters have a limited lifespan
Must be replaced periodically to maintain performance.
Do not treat carbon monoxide (CO)
Proper ventilation or complementary solutions are needed.
🛠️ Key Considerations for Choosing the Right System
Airflow rate: Select the correct unit size based on room volume and pollutant load.
Filter configuration: Choose multistage systems (G4 + F9 + activated carbon) with optional ozone and/or electrostatic filtration.
Regular maintenance: Follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure consistent and safe performance.
🔎 In Summary
Activated carbon filtration units are an effective and proven solution for treating air contaminated by odors and VOCs.
However, in more complex situations, integrated systems with ozone and electrostatic filters are required.
For a complete, reliable, and regulation-compliant air treatment solution, choose ETC Group Srl’s professional systems.
