The EN 779 standard will be canceled completely mid of 2018, and ISO 16890 will be used as a new standard for Air Filter. The main change in standard allows the user to make the filter choice much more precise according to the needs of the users. Ulpatek Filtration has taken pioneering steps to inform the sector about its ISO 16890 standard by giving its brokers and business partners priority to Turkish and English information brochures.
Hava Kirleticileri Hakkında
Atmosferdeki kirletici kaynaklan, yanardağlar, termal kaynaklar, polenler, kum fırtınaları gibi doğal kaynaklar ve fabrikalar, otomobil emisyonları, jet yakıtları, toz toplama alanlan gibi endüstriyel kaynaklar olarak gruplandırılır.
Kirleticiler katılar, sıvılar ve gazlardan oluşmaktadır. Partikül ve gaz faz filtrasyon ile etkin bir kirlilik kontrolü sağlanır. Bu filtrasyon yöntemleri ve uygulamaları EN779, 1SO16890, EN1822, ASHRAE 62 .1 ve ISA-71.04 standartlarında tanımlanmıştır. Aşağıdaki hava kirleticileri karşılaştırma grafiği, partikül ve gaz faz filtrasyonlarındaki kirletici boyut farkları göstermektedir.
Gaz fazındaki kirleticilerin kontrol yöntemlerinin doğru uygulanması için kirleticilerin ve etkilerinin bilinmesi gerekmektedir.
Ulpatek, hedef kirleticiyi ve etkisine göre yüksek verimli filtreleme yapabilen geniş bir medya ailesine sahiptir.
Gaz Faz Filtrasyon
Şartlandırılmış ortamlarda kabul edilebilir iç hava kalitesi için partikül ve gaz faz filtrasyonunun birlikte yapılması gerekir. Gaz kirleticileri, gaz faz filtre medyalarından biri veya bir kombinasyonundan üretilen filtre modelleri ile filtrelenebilir.
Partiküllerin filtrasyonu kaba, ince ve mutlak filtreler ile ilgili standartlarda belirtildiği gibi yapılır.
Genellikle gaz faz filtre medyaları (pelletler) karbon, zeolit, alümina veya hindistan cevizi bazlı medya kullanılarak üretilir. Gaz faz filtrasyonu, fiziksel ve kimyasal olmak üzere iki farklı filtreleme prensibi ile gerçekleşir.
Gas pollutants are filtered on media surface with weak van der Waa/’s forces in physical method. That works also reversibleafter the removal capacity saturate.
Gas pollutants reacted to media’s surface via chemical bonds in chemical method. Chemical adsorption is irreversible.

Cartridges and modules are the most popular gas phase filter application types in air filter equipment.
For local applications drum and indoor air cleaner devices are used for gas removal and indoor air quality.
Industrial Applications
Corrosion Control
Petrochemical Refinery
Process control systems, data centers and other rooms that have instrumentation which has to be environmental controlled must supply Gl classification according to ISA requirements. Achieving room ventilation design requirement must supply a minimum room pressurization of 1-3 air changes per hour and recirculationof 6-12 air changes per hour. Temperature is typically 22°C (±2°C) with humidity lower than 50% relative humidity. Tightness of the room is also another parameter while defining the design parameters. In addition to these parameters, hazardous pollutants are main parameter which must be removed from the enclosed space, According to the ANSI/ISA 71,04, contamination concentration levels are defined as follows.
Microelectronics
Monitoring for gas phase air filters is made by passive monitoring or on line monitoring.
Passive Monitoring: It is made with copper-silver coupons which must be used at the site with 30-90 days periods for defining remaining life and design parameters. Online Monitoring: It has an instant measurement of gas contamination. Particulate Filters Monitoring: Differential pressure gages are used for filter life monitoring.
Odour & Toxic Gas Control
Monitoring for gas phase air filters is made by passive monitoring or online monitoring. Toxic gas scrubbing is generally needed for filtration and neutralizing of chlorine(CIJ, sulfur dioxide(SO,) or ammonia(NH3)
Indoor Air Quality
People usually spend their time in closed spaces like offices, schools, shopping malls, restaurants, cafes, hospitals, hotels, factories etc. Air pollution continuously increase due to the urbanization and industrialization. That’s why controlling airborne pollutants is critical to maintaining sufficient indoor air quality. There are particulate and gas pollutants in the environment. The pollution sources are from outside (the automobile emissions, kitchen exhaust, industrial factories) or from inside (as cleaning aerosols, bio effluents, furnishing, printings etc.) of the building. Particulate and gas pollutants must be filtered for sufficient indoor air quality.
(Supply Sufficient Indoor Air Quality)
Indoor Air Quality
Indoor contaminants are controlled with minimum required airflow “34m3 /h x person” according to ASHRAE’s “Ventilation Rate Procedure” Thus, outdoor air requirement can be reduced to “8,Sm3/h x person” according to the IAQ Procedure of AHRAE’s Standard 62.1.
Sick Building Syndrome (SBS)
Increasing real estate market prices made offices, high rise buildings more populated. Some buildings are surrounded with sick building syndrome due to the change of user requirements and insufficient HVAC designs.
Inadequate ventilation has a lot of parameters, but the most important parameter is the contamination control. Gas phase and particulate filtration help the buildings for recovering from the sick building syndrome.
