What is a HEPA filter?

HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air. This is a filter medium certified by a European standard. It removes at least 99.9% of pollutant particles from ambient air.

The HEPA filter features a set of alternating fibers:

  • Glass ;
  • From cellulose ;
  • Synthetic fibers.

This gives it a filtration capacity of around 0.1 microns. This order of magnitude corresponds to the size of viruses. This is why this type of filter media is capable of sanitizing a room of any viral pathogen. There are several HEPA filtration solutions:

  • H13 ;
  • H14 ;
  • True HEPA.

HEPA H13 stops 99.95% of 0.1-micron particles per liter of air. For the same quantity of air, HEPA H14 stops 99.995% of 0.1-micron pollutants.

The benefits of a Hepa filter for an industrial air purifier

A professional air purifier generally consists of several filters:

  • The pre-filter is the filter medium that stops the largest particles. Their size is generally greater than 1 micron.
  • In some cases, activated carbon filtration prevents the diffusion of volatile organic compounds or unpleasant odors.
  • The HEPA filter induces a final filtration for even finer pollutant sources. A business air purifier thus includes viruses such as Covid-19, for example.

As you can see, using a HEPA filter on an industrial air purifier ensures optimum filtration capacity. This process effectively traps virtually all particles harmful to your health and that of your employees.
