CarbonWeb® Pre-Filter
We use D-Mark's patented CarbonWeb® pre-filter: When purifying air, both particulate matter and gaseous/vaporized compounds must be removed. Activated carbon is used only to adsorb materials that are in the gaseous or vaporized state; materials that cannot be removed by particulate filters. Activated carbon has proven itself to be the most effective means of odor and pollution control available because of its high affinity for a broad spectrum of chemical compounds.
ACTIVATED CARBON & ABSORPTION
Activated carbon will adsorb numerous chemical compounds, and preferentially adsorbs them to moisture. Here is a partial list of gases that are of concern in air purification systems and can be removed with activated carbon:
Organic Compounds: Acids, Alcohols, Aldehydes, Chlorinated Hydrocarbons, Esters, Ethers, Hydrocarbons, Ketones, Mercaptans, Amines.
Inorganic Compounds: Halogen Acids, Halogens, Sulphuric Acid, Sulphur Dioxide, Phosgene. Miscellaneous: Human and Animal Body Odors, Cooking, Foods, and Waste Odors.
TRACS® UV-C Technology
We patented the technology of placing UV-C lights with a wavelength of 254nm on the dirty (inlet) side of the HEPA filter to destroy airborne viruses, bacteria, mold, and more.
Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) employing UV-C light has been used as a means of destroying airborne bacteria and disease for years. Airborne microorganisms have been shown to be destroyed when subjected to certain levels of UV-C light at certain wavelengths (254nm).
TRACS® Medical-Grade HEPA Filtration
Our individually certified medical-grade HEPA filters with 80 square feet of media, removes harmful dust, particulates, allergens, pet dander, and more as small as 0.3 microns in size at 99.99 percent efficiency. The TRACS Portable UV-C Air Purifier has the highest amount of particulate matter filter media in it's HEPA filter than any other brand.
While IQAir® has approximately 50 square feet, Blue Air® approximately 28 square feet, and the Molekule particle filter has around 3 square feet of particulate filter media. The more square feet of particulate matter media results in a filter that can capture more matter before needing to be changed.
