What is Media?
In the gas-phase filtration industry, media refers to small, dry granules, pellets, or beads that remove gaseous chemical pollutants from airstreams.
What makes Specific Systems' media unique?
Permanent Gas Removal: Our media contains special chemical ingredients which remove gaseous pollutants through a process known as chemisorption. During chemisorption, our media converts gases into harmless microscopic particles, which remain trapped in the pellet. This process is instantaneous and irreversible. Other media, such as activated carbon, or charcoal, remove gases through a different process known as adsorption. During adsorption, gases stick to the surface of the media, but since no chemical reaction occurs, gases may desorb or be released back into the air. Unlike chemisorption, adsorption is a reversible process. Used alone, adsorptive media such as activated carbon are unreliable at removing gaseous pollutants.
Engineered for Performance: Our media are engineered using a blend of substrates, active ingredients, and binders. Using proven techniques, the media combines these ingredients to meet our exact specifications of porosity, active ingredient content, and other factors that affect the media’s performance. Other engineered-media manufacturers may use more simplistic methods of impregnating their media with active ingredients. Our engineers and manufacturers make their media from raw materials using patented formulas. Activated carbon is a natural substance that does not offer the benefits of an engineered media, such as active ingredients, to enhance performance.
How much media do I need?
The amount of media your system requires depends upon the concentration and type of pollutants in your environment, the run hours of your HVAC system, airflow, and other factors. Specific Systems engineers will assist you in finding the right concentration for your application.
