Filter modules: Tailored solutions for optimum molecular filtration
Molecular filter modules are essential for odour removal and the adsorption of corrosive gases, toxic chemicals, and other airborne threats in supply and exhaust air applications. Our Carboactiv modules are designed for high performance and reliability, suitable for both supply and exhaust air systems.

With a wide range of activated carbon filter modules optimised for various contaminants – including acidic, alkaline, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) – MANN+HUMMEL provides bespoke solutions for a variety of industrial and commercial requirements. Whether you need efficient air purification for standard environments or highly sensitive areas, our molecular filter modules consistently deliver cleaner air.
The key benefits of our molecular filter modules at a glance:
- Filter modules for acidic and alkaline gases as well as VOCs
- Exceptional adsorption capacities
- Simple installation and maintenance
- Durable and energy-efficient
- Contact times of 0.06 to 0.12 seconds
- Specialised solutions for individual requirements
Our filter modules are available in two specifications (Module 12 and Module 18), each equipped with specialised activated carbon filter media. Whether for sulphur gas removal, neutralising chlorine gas, or odour removal during the use of chlorine dioxide, MANN+HUMMEL molecular filter modules provide precise solutions for your specific needs.
Carboactiv filter modules for cleaner air and safe environments
We support customers worldwide with the filtration of acidic and alkaline gases, VOCs, and other airborne threats. Our activated carbon filter modules are used in numerous industries and sectors:
- Industrial air filtration: Effective control of airborne molecular contaminants (AMC) in production and processing plants
- Wastewater treatment plants: Odour control and elimination of toxic gases
- Chemical processing plants: Protection against corrosive gases and harmful chemicals
- Air handling and HVAC systems: Improved air quality in commercial and public buildings
- Laboratories and cleanrooms: Guaranteeing cleaner air in sensitive environments
Whether for eliminating chlorine dioxide odours, removing sulphur from natural gas, for operating theatres, municipal waste management, or manufacturing halls – our filter modules ensure clean air and safe environments.
Why choose our activated carbon filter modules?
Alongside the individual advantages provided by each module type and filter medium, all our Carboactiv solutions are characterised by:
- High adsorption efficiency: Carboactiv modules are engineered for extremely high adsorption capacity, effectively removing odours, toxic chemicals, and corrosive gases from the air.
- Quick and simple maintenance: The modular design ensures easy installation and maintenance, minimising downtime and ensuring continuous operation.
- Versatile applications: Modules for acidic and alkaline gases as well as volatile organic compounds ensure perfect adaptation to your application.
