In our current economic landscape of escalating energy costs and an increasing public demand for better indoor air quality, the ‘best’ commercial air filter is no longer a nice-to-have, but a necessity. Even if your current air filter meets most of your particle capture efficiency targets, it could still be costing your business significant amounts … Read more
Facility managers and building operators know the frustration of “filter flips” — the frequent and costly task of changing out underperforming air filters. “Bargain filters” not only consume maintenance staff time but also can drive up energy costs and hasten the deterioration of HVAC hardware. High-performance air filters address this challenge by going beyond simply … Read more
Commercial operations such as those in manufacturing facilities, oil and gas production, and processing plants each have unique environments and challenges. These facilities produce a considerable amount of dust and other particulates from operations such as metal fabrication, food and beverage production, wood product manufacturing, mining, and other commercial activities. Canadian Commercial Operations Require Specialized … Read more
While the Canadian Food & Beverage industry prioritizes things such as the quality of raw ingredients, air quality is often overlooked. However, it’s a vital part of the mix that affects product safety, shelf life, taste, and brand integrity. Air quality must be examined throughout the supply chain, from production to packaging. In this article, … Read more
In air filtration, the debate between synthetic air filters and fibreglass filters has been ongoing, with synthetic filters still facing some challenges in competing with fibreglass filters. Originally, filters with fibreglass-based media dominated the market, particularly in the production of HEPA and bag filters. However, the high cost and intensive manufacturing process of fibreglass led … Read more
HVAC systems are essential for bringing conditioned outside air into a building and recirculating air for its occupants. Commercial HVAC systems can filter out contaminants like allergens and airborne viruses, as well as harmful PM2.5 and PM1 particles. Additionally, they remove particles that could potentially damage air handling units. However, not all air filtration systems … Read more
Not all air filters are created equal, and the cost to operate a filter is far more significant than simply buying one. By getting an indoor air quality (IAQ) and air filtration site survey, you can determine what your current filtration system is costing you versus other options, and your organization can potentially save energy and money and have cleaner indoor air. Another benefit of a site survey is determining the efficiency of your current air filters compared to other options. In this article, we will explain the benefits of conducting a site survey.
Choosing the right commercial or industrial-grade air cleaner can be a challenging endeavour. There are many things to consider, such as the size of your room or building, the type of pollutants you want to remove, air filter efficiency, the noise level of the air cleaner, how much energy the filtration system will consume, and … Read more
