Is It Time to Change My Media?

 

Time Rabbit from Alice in WonderlandThe heart of a Purafil, Inc. gas-phase air filtration system is the dry-scrubbing chemical filtration media. There are a wide variety of dry-scrubbing media that are currently in use for treating contaminated airstreams based on their ability to attract and hold a variety of chemical contaminants. With our ability to manufacture media with various chemical agents, or impregnants, a system's capabilities can be expanded to an even wider array of gaseous contaminants.

 

Once the decision has been made to purchase and install a system to remove chemical contaminants from the air, those responsible for its maintenance are charged with assuring the system is providing the level of protection required. This requires a continuous assessment of the media performance which is directly related to the effective and efficient control of target contaminants. Over time, the media begins to lose its effectiveness and one must be able to determine the appropriate time to replace the media. This means replacing it soon enough so as not to exceed contaminant control specifications but not so early that good media is being thrown away. Based upon your environment, Purafil can assist in estimating the media service life before the system is installed.  Once your system is operational, media samples can be sent to Purafil's laboratory for a complimentary analysis which projects the remaining life of our media.
