Which air filter fits your situation?
Answer two questions. You will see straight away which filter medium usually fits your situation. You can then request a quote, with your answers already filled in.
Question 1: What must come out of the air?
- Odour
- VOCs, for example from solvents
- Hydrogen sulphide (H2S)
- Ammonia (NH3)
- Corrosive gases around electronics
- Fine and coarse dust
- I don't know
Question 2: How much air passes through the filter per hour?
- Up to 1,000 m³/h
- 1,000 to 10,000 m³/h
- 10,000 to 50,000 m³/h
- More than 50,000 m³/h
- I don't know
Initial advice
For question 1
|
Your answer |
First advice |
|---|---|
|
Odour |
That depends on the substance. Odour usually comes from VOCs, hydrogen sulphide (H2S) or ammonia (NH3), and each substance needs its own medium. See Odour control. |
|
VOCs |
Activated carbon without impregnation. VOCs stick to the carbon physically. See Activated carbon filters. |
|
Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) |
Activated carbon with an alkaline impregnation. H2S is an acid gas and is then bound chemically. See H2S. |
|
Ammonia (NH3) |
Activated carbon with an acid impregnation. Ammonia is an alkaline gas and is then bound chemically. See Ammonia. |
|
Corrosive gases around electronics |
Chemical filter medium: alumina granules with an impregnation that binds the gas. A measurement with copper and silver coupons first shows how corrosive the air is; the target is class G1. See Corrosion protection. |
|
Fine and coarse dust |
A dust filter, chosen by its class under ISO 16890. See Dust filters and HEPA. |

Then we work it out together with your request. How a test with a rented filter unit works is explained under Filter unit rental. |
For question 2
|
Your answer |
First advice |
|---|---|
|
Up to 50,000 m³/h |
The largest single filter in the range is suitable for 50,000 m³/h. |
|
More than 50,000 m³/h |
Several filters are placed in parallel or in series, up to 100,000 m³/h. |
|
I don't know |
We work out the flow rate with you when you send your request. |
This advice is a first direction. For a quote we also look at the concentration, the temperature, the relative humidity and how long the filter must work before the medium is replaced.
