Purafil,Inc. | Specialized Filtration Required for Museum Environments  When one thinks of indoor air quality (IAQ), the health and well-being of people most often comes to mind. However, IAQ is not only a people issue, it is also a materials issue. Just as people can suffer due to poor air quality in a building, the building's contents can suffer as well.
Many industrial environments contain corrosive gaseous contaminants that can destroy expensive computerized process control equipment. These contaminants, if not properly controlled, can bring production to a standstill, resulting in downtime costing tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars an hour. However, computers can be replaced. This cannot be said for the materials and objects being housed in museums, libraries and archives.
In museums and other "preservation environments," there are a number of factors that can cause the degradation of materials and artifacts. Among these are temperature, humidity, particulates, and gaseous contaminants. Of these, gaseous contaminants are the most destructive.
| | | | | | About Purafil,Inc. For more than 40 years, Purafil Inc. has been a world leader in the development of gas-phase air filtration media and systems designed to eliminate and control gaseous contaminants. We were the first to propose standards for industrial facilities using electronic process controls. Today, these standards are used worldwide.
Purafil offers the widest variety of gas-phase air filtration media and award-winning systems for the control of any Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) challenge. Purafil provides engineered, clean air solutions in an array of markets including commercial, industrial, water wastewater, museums and cleanrooms. Purafil's dry-chemical air cleaning media removes specific gases and contaminants from high-volume facilities in order to control corrosion, improve process reliability and IAQ, as well as save money.
Purafil's state-of-the-art laboratory and research facility offers valuable customer services, such as media life analysis, air quality assessment, and circuit board failure evaluation. In addition to those valued process, Purafil also offers a variety of technical services to ensure clean air and customer satisfaction.

The Italian government required the installation of Purafil gas-phase air filtration and OnGuard reactivity monitors as part of the restoration and renovation of the Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper." OnGuard monitors are also installed in the Sistine Chapel.
The Shrine of the Book at the Israel museum in Jerusalem is using Purafil's reactivity monitoring to help protect the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The new national archive facilities in Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand have all made Purafil gas-phase air filtration and reactivity monitoring part of their environmental control strategies. | |
