What is HEPA Filtration?

HEPA filtration was developed by the Atomic Energy Commission during World War II to remove radioactive particles from the air in manufacturing plants.

Definition of HEPA Filter

A HEPA filter must remove at least 99.97% of all airborne particles by particle count at a size of 0.3 microns which is one-300th the diameter of a human hair. 

It approaches total efficiency on all known organisms harmful to man.

Common Uses for HEPA Filters

In hospital operating rooms, burn centers, laboratories and manufacturers of critical products like computer chips, where particle and bacteria free air is mandatory, HEPA filtration systems are used to remove bacteria and other airborne contaminants.

Filters are Maintenance Free

HEPA filters require no cleaning or maintenance to maintain efficiency, and studies have proven that HEPA filters actually increase in efficiency with use over their 3 to 5 year life.
