Do you know what a processing plant is? A processing plant is a manufacturing facility that takes raw materials and turns them into finished goods. These facilities often have a vast air filtration system to keep the air inside the building clean. Air filters are essential for these systems because they remove contaminants from the air before it enters the room where people work.

This blog post will discuss how to make your air filtration system more efficient with three options: replacing filters, using activated carbon filter media, and installing an electrostatic precipitator.

1) Replacing Filters:

If your current filters are more than a few years old, they may be allowing too many contaminants to pass through. Replacing the old filters with new ones will ensure clean air and no costly maintenance issues caused by dirty filters. A good practice is to replace all filters together at least once per year or as needed.

2) Using Activated Carbon Filter Media:

Activated carbon filter media is made of activated charcoal that has been treated with oxygen, steam, or chemical compounds. It works by attracting particles in the air to its surface, where they stick and form larger particles that an air filtration system can more easily capture.

This type of filter offers good protection against odors, gases, and vapors. But, it does not protect against most harmful airborne particles.

3) Installing an Electrostatic Precipitator:

An electrostatic precipitator is one of the most efficient air filters available on the market. It works by using high voltage charges to make particles in the air stick to each other and form larger particles that your system can capture easily. This technology offers good protection against many harmful airborne particles, including those that carry bacteria and viruses.

If your facility processes milk products or food ingredients, you may want to consider this option as the particles they capture can be harmful if ingested. You can talk to Robovent to get started with installing the right air filtration system in a hassle-free way.
