Abstract
A method and an apparatus are disclosed for analyzing an absorption filtering medium that filters volatile organic substances in a process gas in a dehumidification plant for dehumidifying polymer granules, with a fan that generates a flow of gas through the filtering medium, an analyzer for analyzing the concentration of total organic carbon, a sensor for detecting pressure downstream of the filtering medium, in which the state of saturation and/or the absorbent capacity and/or the deterioration over time of the filtering medium is determined by a comparison of the measured concentrations of the total organic carbon in the flow of gas upstream and downstream of the filtering medium.
