Air Scrubbers/ H.E.P.A. Filters

High Efficiency Particle Air Filter trap particles as small as 0.3 microns (a micron is one millioneth of a meter and is also called a micrometer). H.E.P.A. filters remove at least 99.97 % of airborne particles. Illustration courtesy of Wikipedia.com created through the Philip Greenspun illustration project.

Althouse Cleaning has various sizes of Air Scrubbers that contain H.E.P.A. filters that can be used to remove dust, mold spores, soot, etc. from the air to protect the health of workers, computers and other equipment requiring a highly clean environment. The air scrubber is basically a large box with a powerful multi speed fan and a H.E.P.A. filter. The air is sucked into the filter and clean air is exhausted out. Many H.E.P.A. filter air scrubbers contain meters recording the hours it has run.

Cubic footage of the environment and the amount of air exchanges per hour dictate the size and quantity of units are needed.

Althouse Cleaning has used these machines for mold restoration, to clean the air during early stages of fire & smoke restoration, and for removing dust during renovations and remodeling. H.E.P.A. filtration is desireable to remove dust for any type of "clean room". The air scrubbers are often used in renovation work when the posibility of asbestos, lead dust, or other harmful particulate matter may become airborne.
