PURPOSE: To prevent propagation of bacteria which utilize alcohol preferentially, by arranging activated carbon fiber structures made from acrylonitrile type polymer in an exhaust gas path of a tank or a plant generating alcohol vapor to allow alcohol in exhaust gas to be adsorbed.
CONSTITUTION: Support frame 14 housing activated carbon fiber structures 18 is put in slender box 4, fixed with flange 14, covered 5, and hermetically sealed. Exhaust gas in tank 1 is introduced from inlet 7 through valve 19 of pipe 2 into adsorber 3 perfectly isolated from the external atmosphere, and the gas is allowed to flow to the side of cover 5 through exhaust port 13. By being contacted to structures 18, the gas is filtered, and alcohol contained is thoroughly adsorbed. The resulting clean air reaches a pass at the opposite side of cover 5, and it is released from outlet 8.
