  ARTICLE – AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM

We thank Mr. Mack Barnhardt, from Air Filtration Systems, for his contribution with the following article. Enjoy.

 Air Filtration Systems is a manufacture representative of Purafil's Environmental Systems Division (ESD), the leading manufacturer of dry scrubbing systems for odor control and toxic gas removal, specializes in serving the air pollution control needs of the water and wastewater treatment industries.

 ESD was established in response to a growing demand for higher performance odor control systems. Wastewater treatment plants and pumping stations, once located in areas thought to be rural and isolated, witnessed the gradual encroachment of residential communities. The ensuing odor complaints from new neighbors forced plant managers to search for alternative technologies to conventional wet scrubbing and activated carbon systems.  

ESD offers a comprehensive selection of dry scrubbing systems for control of odorous gases such as hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan and organic compounds pervasive in sewerage collection and processing operations. These systems are ideal for a multitude of applications found at pump stations, lift stations, force mains, headworks, sludge holding tanks, aerobic digesters and clarifiers. Various scrubber sizes, from small drum units to larger, multi-stage, deep-bed units, are available to meet individual application requirements.  

ESD's dry scrubbing systems are preferred over conventional wet scrubbers and activated carbon systems because their inherent technology allows them to function continuously, without operator attention or maintenance, for extended periods. The critical component of an ESD scrubber is dry scrubbing media. ESD's customized media solutions offer complete odor and toxic gas removal without the need for additional scrubbing or dilution.

Emergency Gas Scrubbers are necessary components of wastewater treatment plants, water treatment plants, and other facilities storing large quantities of chlorine (Cl2) or sulfur dioxide (SO2). An accidental chemical release, even from a cylinder as small as one-ton, can result in serious environmental damage and liability. As a result, storage facilities must take precautions to protect neighboring communities. 

Purafil, Inc., the leading manufacturer of dry scrubbing media and equipment, specializes in the control of toxic, corrosive and odorous gases. Our dry chemical EGS, designed for emergency removal of accidentally released gas, offers the following advantages:

• Low maintenance estimated at $120 per year.
• No liquid caustic.
• Immediate start-up and removal of released gas.
• Exceeds loading and performance requirements of the Uniform Fire Code.
• Capacity of 150-lbs, 1-ton or greater.
 On September 11, 2001 the world as we knew it changed. Terrorism and the collapse of Homeland Security have changed the way we live and the way we conduct business.

With each report of Anthrax to a bomb threat, the reality of a possible future attack strikes fear in the heart of every American. If not Anthrax, what next? Small Pox? The Plague? Chemicals of War? Nuclear? Or using our chemicals that is stored locally? 

Air Filtration Systems carries filtration equipment and filters for Building Protection.  Air filtration systems to create a safe house within a building (SIP Unit) to large air filtration systems to pressurize hospitals, schools, police stations or any building requiring protection.  It is not just terrorism, even the products stored within our city or transported on our highway can do harm.
