Air / Gas Filtration
Hydrosil specializes in gas phase filtration using a variety of filtration medias such as modified zeolite, activated carbon, and impregnated activated alumina. Gas phase filtration is an invisible threat that cause millions of dollars in damages every year. To avoid the cost of replacing corroded computers/servers, and downtime due to malfunctioning equipment—it is vital to ensure corrosive gases are oxidized and made harmless. Gas phase filtration is generally found in between a pre-filter and a post-filter as described below.
- Pre-Filter: Designed to remove 5 μm and greater particles such as heavy dust, hair, insects, street debris, and sand. The pre-filter protects the gas phase filtration media
- Gas Phase Filter: This filter is typically a tray or module filled with media (e.g. HS-600 or XB-17) to adsorb or react with gaseous pollutants.
- Post Filter: Designed to filter out less than 5 μm particles such as allergens and mold. This type of filter may be a HEPA filter.
Gas phase filtration works to remove vapors through adsorption and chemisorption/reaction. Adsorption is a surface phenomenon where molecules are trapped in the pore structure of a material (e.g. HS-AC). Chemisorption is a process that results in a chemical bond between the pollutants and the material (e.g. HS-600). Hydrosil’s filter media is extremely cost-effective and high-performing technology. These products are also used in deep bed scrubbers for large concentration/flow treatment.
HS-100-PO is specially designed for removing ammonia from vapor phase systems.
HS-400
The HS-400 is potassium permanganate impregnated activated alumina spheres. The product targets acid gases, sulfur compounds.
The HS-600 is potassium permanganate impregnated zeolite that targets acid gases, sulfur compounds, mercaptans, chlorinated solvents, alcohols and aldehyde compounds.
HS-CL
The HS-CL is typically used in chlorine gas scrubbers, or emergency gas scrubbers to target chlorine, bromine or chlorine dioxide vapors.
The HS-Cannablend-Select is used in air modules for removing cannabis odors such as terpenoids and terpenes.
XB-17 is a 50/50 blend by volume of activated carbon (HS-AC) and HS-600. The blend is commonly used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOC) in a range of applications including airports, museums, commercial kitchens, etc.
XB-17-P
XB-17-P is a 50/50 blend by volume of pelletized activated carbon (HS-AC-P) and HS-600. The blend is commonly used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOC) in a range of applications including airports, museums, commercial kitchens, etc.
HS-AC
HS-AC is highly active granular activated carbon (GAC) manufactured via high temperature steam activation from selected grades of coconut shell. The HS-AC removes common odors, large and small molecular hydrocarbons such as pesticides, PCBs, and PNAs.
HS-AC-Hg is highly active sulfurized granular activated carbon (GAC). The HS-AC-HG targets mercury vapors.
HS-AC-KOH
The HS-AC-KOH is granular activated carbon (GAC) produced from coconut shells impregnated with potassium hydroxide. The product targets acid gases.
Hydrosil offers a pelletized carbon that is created from coal and one generated from coconut shells. Each pelletized carbon product offers a high capacity for organic and inorganic compounds. To learn more about Hydrosil’s pelletized carbon, please contact a sales representative.
The HS-AC-KOH is granular activated carbon (GAC) produced from coconut shells impregnated with potassium hydroxide. The product targets acid gases.
HS-AC-P-PO
HS-AC-P-PO is a pelletized carbon that is impregnated to target basic gases such as ammonia and chlorine.
Air Pollutants Index
Do you know what pollutant you want to remove, but don’t know which product works best? Search your pollutant on Hydrosil’s Air Pollutants Index. From sulfur dioxide to cannabis odors—Hydrosil has you covered.
Media Life Analysis
Hydrosil is now offering testing services for air filtration media. Hydrosil has trained technicians to analyze media samples from air filters and air scrubbers. The key to successful air filtration is identifying and replacing media prior to breakthrough.
