About Activated Carbon
Activated carbon is recognized as the safest and most efficient way to treat airborne chemicals, gaseous pollutants, fumes and odors. Carbon that is activated undergoes a process that opens millions of tiny pores and fissures to enhance the material's adsorbent properties. A single pound of activated carbon typically has a surface area of 125 acres. In fact, activated carbon is so effective that it is used by the military to combat the world’s most dangerous airborne pollutants.
HEPA stands for high efficiency particulate air filter and describes a filter that can remove at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns in diameter. Particles of this size are used to evaluate the performance of a HEPA filter, because they are among the most difficult to remove. HEPA filters are considered the safest and most efficient method to treat airborne particles.
Many of our units can be customized with a UV (ultra violet) germicidal lamp. This technology is favored by the healthcare industry, food storage warehouses, laboratories and other facilities where microorganisms, bacteria, viruses or mold are an issue. UV works by breaking down microorganisms and disrupting their DNA, hindering their ability to reproduce.
Micro-HEPA particle filters are manufactured with material that is rated 99% efficient at removing airborne particles 0.1 microns in diameter.
About Maximum Radial Air Filtration (MRAF)
MRAF or Maximum Radial Air Filtration describes the superior filtration system incorporated into our RAP and RSU industrial units. This cylindrical “super wall” of carbon provides the largest adsorbent surface area in the industry.
