The smallest particulates present the most significant threat and prove to be the most challenging among all particulate matter. This category includes particles like mould, bacteria, and viruses, classified as biological contaminants. Effective filtration is vital in managing and minimizing the presence of these particles originating from diverse internal and external sources.

The quantity and weight of contaminants within a space exhibit an inverse relationship: a small number of larger particles constitute the majority of the mass, whereas a large quantity of ultra-fine particles, posing significant health risks, make up the majority of particle count, yet only a fraction of the mass. Traditionally, filters were engineered to shield equipment and coils from the larger particles. However, EIA cleaners surpass this by not only safeguarding HVAC equipment but also protecting our lungs, respiratory systems, and delicate electronics from the detrimental effects of sub-micron and ultra-fine particulates. These minuscule particles can evade our body’s defences and may carry various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and reactive gas phase contaminants.

EIA Cleaners employ polarized media to efficiently eliminate even the smallest particles from the air. The polarization process results in a three-dimensional loading of particles on the media fibres, enhancing air cleaning performance compared to conventional passive filtration. Additionally, polarization causes ultra-fine particles to amalgamate and grow in size, facilitating their capture along with other chemical contaminants. This feature renders EIA Cleaners highly proficient in capturing ultra-fine particles. Air treated by EIA Cleaners proves to be cleaner than outdoor air, a fact demonstrated through tests conducted in a downtown office building equipped with EIA Cleaning Systems, where ultra-fine particle levels were 92-99% lower than outdoor levels.

By effectively purifying indoor air, we can reduce ventilation air requirements, leading to cost savings in fan energy and diminished equipment horsepower needs.

EIA Cleaners excel at effectively eliminating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odours, achieved through active-field polarization and particle agglomeration. As particles traverse the polarized media, they undergo polarization and are attracted to other particles, VOCs, and odour molecules, aggregating into larger particles that can be easily captured.

Gas phase contaminants can stem from various sources, both within and outside of a building. Internally, they may emanate from furniture, cleaning supplies, paint and finishes, as well as human activities. Externally, these contaminants may arise from combustion processes such as vehicle emissions, kitchen exhaust, and diesel generators. Common VOC and odor issues encompass:

The EIA Cleaning System is specifically designed to mitigate risks associated with hazardous ultra-fine particles and biological contaminants while significantly reducing VOCs and odours. Remarkably, it accomplishes this at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional passive filter options, resulting in substantial operational expense savings of up to two-thirds.
