Purafil ESD’s Odor Control Media has a finite life. Our media contains special active ingredients that react with odorous gases to remove them from the polluted airstream. Once the active ingredients are spent, it is time to replace the media in your scrubber to prevent odor breakthrough. Your Odor Control Scrubber is sized to offer a life of nine months to one year. The life of your scrubber’s Odor Control Media may be shorter or longer, however, depending on the concentration of odors present and other environmental factors.

To avoid replacing your scrubber’s media too early or too late, Purafil offers Media Life Analysis (MLA) — a complimentary service offered to all customers for as long as you own your system. By analyzing samples of media from the air filtration system, Purafil can project the life cycle of system media and make suggestions to improve system performance. Your Media Life Analysis Report is made available to your local Purafil representative via Purafil’s online portal.

After the start-up of your system, your local Purafil representative will work with you to periodically secure media samples. Purafil, Inc. will provide at no charge, regular laboratory analysis of such samples to establish life cycles.

Since every installation varies due to type and quantity of contaminant, each operator must develop a sample schedule best suited to their system. However, until a schedule can be established, we recommend that a sample be taken from each bank, and sent for analysis within 90 days of start-up. According to the analysis, a replacement date can be projected with a recommended sampling schedule.
