Analysis & Design Service

Collecting data can be helpful when you’re configuring a system to capture gaseous contaminants. AAF software and service support makes the process simple. Start with a guided system that will identify the best options for equipment and media solutions. We also provide a reactivity monitoring system and coupons to both offer data and help protect against costly problems caused by corrosion of electronic equipment. Finally, an analysis of the use remaining in your chemical media helps maximize system life and can confirm media activity after events such as helicopter landings and solvent spills.

Cassette Housings

AAF gas-phase cassettes and housing are designed to help you create a total clean air solution for heavy-duty industrial environments like refineries, wastewater treatment facilities and commercial buildings. This equipment was built for gaining effective control of gaseous contaminants while helping prevent bypass and wasted energy. It’s suitable for use with new or existing air handling units.

Systems & Equipment

AAF systems and equipment simplify your gas-phase filtration applications. Choose a single solution to combine both gas-phase and high-efficiency air filtration. For heavily polluted environments, scrubbers remove high concentrations of contaminants with the features you need most. A patent-pending filter sealing system helps prevent bypass of unfiltered air by locking cassettes and filters securely in place. There’s an AAF system to meet all your gas-phase equipment needs.

Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC)

AMC filtration utilizes gas-phase filtration, using activated carbon and chemical media. This filtration process removes airborne molecular contaminants (AMC) from the air, primarily in environments where air purity is critical, such as semiconductor manufacturing facilities, laboratories and cleanrooms. AMCs include a broad range of compounds including acids, bases and organic molecules that can adversely affect manufacturing processes and product quality.

Box Filters

AAF box filters remove airborne contaminants to help you protect both your indoor air quality (IAQ) and your building’s equipment. You can address the concerns that matter most, from odor control to reducing specific contaminants. Pleated media options offer a range of carbon filtration. Tough, galvanized steel frames are designed to fit in standard filter housings for easy installation.

Canisters, Cassettes, & Housings

AAF’s gas-phase filtration line includes the SAAF Canister and SAAF Cassettes, both featuring chemical media beds in polymer housings. The cylindrical canister incorporates inner scrims for dust control and easy system integration, while the Cassettes utilize compression-fit technology to ensure leak-free operation without adhesives. Both solutions effectively remove various gases in commercial and industrial environments.

Chemical Media

AAF offers a wide selection of chemical media for tailoring a filtration solution for most commercial and industrial systems. Non-toxic carbon pellets can be engineered to target specific pollutants such as ammonia, chlorine, reactive compounds and acid gasses. Many of these media are designed to perform well even in extreme environments. Low-pressure drop and high adsorptive capacity promote efficient performance.

HEGA Filters

AAF offers High Efficiency Gas Adsorber (HEGA) filtration to filter gaseous contaminants from airstreams through a process of adsorption. Typically used by the nuclear industry, HEGA systems are often installed in a walk-in bank. The HEGA system’s adsorber must be able to provide a 99.9% minimum mechanical efficiency.
