New for 2013 is the Airclean Indoor Air Quality Filtration System. Encorporating 3 stages of filtration including G4 and F7 to EN779 Particulate Filters and a Gas Phase Filter this system removes indoor contaminants meeting EN13779 requirements.

The Indoor Air Quality Filtration System gas filtration phase is specifically designed to remove indoor air pollutants including Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), VOCs and Ozone, making this filtration system suitable for use on both domestic and commercial new builds to meet local authority requirements in UK Air Quality Zones.

The Indoor Air Quality Filtration System is available in scaleable options for high duty commercial buildings and also for low duty, low resistance domestic heat recovery systems.

Read our latest technical bulletin on the European Standard for ventilation and air conditioning in non-residential buildings.

For a filtration company this standard is of great importance as it is the closest standard that exists stating the level of filtration that should be used to provide a good level of indoor air quality.

For system designers and consultants it offers detail on required air change rates and filtration for the supply of air to commercial and public buildings to provide a healthy environment for occupants.

Finally we would like to say a big thank you to all of our customers and suppliers who we have worked with this year, it has been a pleasure.

Read our latest Technical Bulletin on the new EN779:2012 Standard for General Ventilation Air Filters.

This standard replaces the old EN779:2002 with the introduction of Minimum Efficiencies for High Performance Air Filters (F7, F8 and F9), and also the renaming of air filters in the Medium Efficiency categories (F5 to M5, F6 to M6).

You will notice changes across the Airclean product range and the website, where these changes have been introduced. In addition over the next month we will be introducing some new products designed specifically to meet the new standard ensuring you can comply with minimal changes to systems and procedures.
