Activated carbon filters are a widely used technology to reduce odors and control emissions from greenhouses and other growing applications. The ambient air is circulated through the activated carbon filter and returned to the greenhouse (scrubbing) or discharged outside (filtering). Understanding the basic guidelines of how activated carbon filters work will help the individual grower use the technology with greater reliability and lower overall cost.

Phat Filters use state-of-the-art design with the best odor adsorbing carbon found anywhere in the world, to give you the single best, clean-air-producing, greenhouse filter on the market. Phat Filters are made with high adsorption yield, high density, Mongolian virgin charcoal—a higher grade charcoal than the Australian charcoal that our competitors use.
