The Basics

Generally, air purification is considered either active or passive. Passive purification utilizes a HEPA filtering system that catches tiny virus particles. Active treatment typically encompasses some type of ionization process.

Quick Fact

With passive air treatment, filters work with high MERV system ratings. The higher the MERV rating, the better the filter will be at trapping specific particle types.

Cleaning and Maintaining

All air cleaners require periodic cleaning and filter replacement to function properly.

Did You Know…

In addition to rigorous cleaning protocols, a growing number of restaurants have implemented air purification systems that greatly improve safety and sanitation.

Choosing Air Purification

When choosing an air purification method, consider additional efficiency measures like air exchanges per hour (ACH) and cubic feet per minute (CFM).

By the Way...

HEPA filters are classified as bioburdens and operators should replace them often.
