  • What is Fine Filtration? October 27, 2025

    What is Fine Filtration?
    ePM2.5 and ePM1 Filters

    Airborne particulates come in a wide range of sizes. Standard general ventilation systems (With Coarse or G3/G4 filters) are effective at removing larger particles. However, finer particulates, such as those classified under ePM2.5 and ePM1, require high-performance filters for effective removal.

     

    These smaller particles can include settling dust and dander, pollen, mould spores and even bacteria. Fine filtration is especially important in environments where air quality is critical, such as kitchen supply, hospitals, dental and cosmetic practices and electrical/data centers.

     

    Airclean offers a range of filter styles designed to achieve fine filtration. These filters are available in various grades and sizes to suit different applications.

  • Activated Carbon Filters – Adsorption not Absorption March 5, 2024

    When we talk about how an Activated Carbon Filter works we use the word “Adsorption” to describe the process of molecules being removed from the air stream.  However, we often hear the more common word “Absorption” incorrectly used.

    What is the difference between Adsorption and Absorption?

    Adsorption

    Is a process where atoms, ions or molecules from a gas, liquid or solid, stick or adhere to the surface of a material.  eg.  Activated Carbon Filter.

    Absorption

    Is a process where atoms, ions or molecules are drawn into or soak into a material. e.g. sponges or paper towels, taking on water.

    Adsorption

    Absorption - Sponge

    Activated Carbon Filters

    Airclean offers activated carbon filters in various styles, primarily as bonded panel filters. Multiple panels can be combined to form a carbon discarb filter cell for high carbon loading and increased airflow support. For odour control at lower levels, activated carbon impregnated media are available in both traditional bag filters and rigid bag filters.
