What is HEPA Filtration?

HEPA filtration was developed by the Atomic Energy Commission during World War II to remove radioactive particles from the air in manufacturing plants.
Definition of HEPA Filter

A HEPA filter must remove at least 99.97% of all airborne particles by particle count at a size of 0.3 microns which is one-300th the diameter of a human hair.

HEPA filters require no cleaning or maintenance to maintain efficiency, and studies have proven that HEPA filters actually increase in efficiency with use over their 3 to 5 year life.

What is Adsorption?

Adsorption is a process that occurs when a gas or liquid solute accumulates on the surface of a solid, forming a molecular or atomic film (the adsorbate).

The carbon utilized for radioactive iodine removal is nuclear grade 8x16 mesh and is impregnated with teda to improve retention of radio-iodines.

NFSRPS offers adsorbers in both circular and square cross-sections.
