Mechanical filters, such as MERV-rated and HEPA filters, have received significant public attention in Canada in recent years, but complete protection against air pollution requires another type of filter. Molecular filters, which may also be referred to as gas-phase filters or activated carbon filters, are essential for removing volatile organic compounds, highly toxic gases, and odorous contaminants from the air.
In a recently published resource, air filtration professionals from Camfil Canada explain the different types of molecular filters and their applications, and provide a step-by-step guide for choosing the correct molecular filter.
“When using molecular filtration, it’s imperative to place a particulate air filter with its particulate-removing media in the first stage of air filtration and place a molecular air filter with its molecule-removing media in the second stage of the process,” says Berni Baier, an air filtration specialist from Camfil Canada, the Canadian component of global air filter manufacturer Camfil. Camfil provides medical-grade HEPA, ULPA, MERV, and molecular filters to hospitals, cleanrooms, production facilities, and more across the world.
The guide highlights the following topics:
-
The different types of filter media used in molecular filters and when to use each type
-
Applications for molecular filtration
-
Eliminating VOCs (volatile organic compounds) with molecular filters
-
Effectiveness of activated carbon filters
-
Odour removal with molecular filters
