All Air Purification Systems Are Not Equal

1. Prefilter – Pleated filter of 100% synthetic fiber with metal reinforcement laminated to the exiting-air side of the media. The filter is rated class 2 under U.L. Std. 900.

2. Primary Filter – High-efficiency particulate filter has pleated, micro fiberglass media and V-bank extended surface for high-capacity performance. Thermoplastic separators provide consistent spacing to ensure aerodynamic airflow and media pack is encapsulated in a heavy-duty plastic frame.

3. Photo-Catalytic Oxidizer – Contains ultraviolet lamps and a patented, specially coated grid that accelerates UV effectiveness. During operation, toxic compounds such as carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide are converted into benign constituents such as carbon dioxide and water vapor.

4. Gas-Phase Filter – Media is a 50/50 blend of coconut shell activated charcoal and zeolite, impregnated with potassium permanganate. Thousands of pores trap and absorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to remove them from a facility’s breathing area.

Optional / Multi-Sak Filter (3000 XL only) – High-efficiency dust/particulate filter has two media options, synthetic and micro fiberglass, each with aluminum cross supports. The sack-type filter is unaffected by moisture and humidity.

As many as 10,000 chemical substances are found in diesel exhaust and many are listed as cancer-causing or suspected carcinogens. Compounds such as nitrous oxide, nitrogen dioxide, benzene, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, etc., can create serious health problems and exasperate certain health conditions such as asthma and heart disease. PCO eliminates or mitigates gas-phase organic contaminants and protects personnel in the building.

AirHAWK's patented system with PCO also utilizes ultraviolet (UV) light to remove viruses, mold, bacteria and other airborne pathogens from the air. Systems without PCO-UV allow germs to reenter the air stream and pass from person to person. An AirHAWK system doesn't just clean the air, it "purifies" the air. PCO-UV also assists in breaking down volatile organic compounds (VOCs) - a large class of air pollutants - which can be up to ten times higher indoors than outdoors.

MagneGrip is the only company that manufactures both source-capture exhaust removal systems (MagneGrip) using hose-and-nozzle that connect to the apparatus tailpipe, and air purification systems (AirHAWK) filtration units that suspend from the ceiling. This combination provides the most complete protection from engine diesel exhaust, off-gases from equipment and turnout gear used at the fire scene, toxic air blown in from the tarmac, and airborne contamination. This combination system provides greater liability protection for municipalities—and it best fits the intent of FEMA and NFPA recommendations.
