Circul-Aire has introduced a gas-phase air filtration media that removes chemical odours and airborne gaseous contaminants in laboratories, offices, healthcare facilities, museums and schools.
Circulaire Cleanaire is described as an efficient and sustainable gas-phase air filtration media for use in buildings where indoor air quality is critical.
The Circulaire Cleanaire proprietary process produces a randomly shaped, coarse-surfaced granular media resulting in multi-faceted macro-surface adsorption capacity that is said to be better than conventional smooth-surfaced and symmetrically shaped media pellets.
Each granule's rough surface increases contact and adsorption with air stream gaseous contaminants, thus creating a more efficient and adsorbent process.
As a result, Circulaire Cleanaire media lasts longer, reducing a building's annual HVAC maintenance and media replacement costs, according to recent laboratory tests conducted by Christopher Flaherty, director of laboratory services, and Dr Chang-Seo Lee, associated with the Department of Building, Civil and Environmental Engineering at Concordia University in Montreal.
The coconut-based composition makes Circulaire Cleanaire an environmentally friendly gas-phase media to use.
Circul-Aire claims that the new media has less environmental impact during disposal than the coal-based carbon media used by some gas-phase filtration manufacturers.
Circulaire Cleanaire is a dual mix of MM-1000NS and MM-9000CLT media that is designed to remove all gaseous contaminant by-products from vehicle emissions such as nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and nitric oxide, as well as ozone, volatile organic compounds and lower-molecular-weight aldehydes and hydrocarbons.
