Air Filtration Solutions for Sandstorm in UAE

 


The UAE is just the latest country in the path of sandstorms that have smothered Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iran and others in recent days, closing airports and schools and sending thousands to hospital with breathing problems.

Capital city Abu Dhabi's air quality index (AQI) soared into the "hazardous" zone overnight, according to waqi.info and the Plume pollution app.

The Middle East's sandstorms are becoming more frequent and intense, a trend associated with overgrazing and deforestation, overuse of river water and more dams.

Experts say the phenomenon could worsen as climate change warps regional weather patterns and drives desertification.

AAF has a solution for this too, the S-Trap inertial filters is designed as a bolt-on pre-filter for air handling units, engines and other machinery in areas with sand or dust storms or with exposure to heavy dust loads. The S-Trap HD (STHD) casing and other critical parts are made from thicker 3mm steel and welded together to ensure durability, vibration resistance and support during harsh conditions.

The S-Trap HD inlet grille is easily removable for inspection or replacement of the filtration elements. The S-Trap HD shares the same efficiency and filtration capacity of the STL model with an arrestance of 92% when tested with SAE J 726 Coarse Dust. The S-Trap HD also operates at reduced flow with a pressure drop as low as 50Pa while maintaining efficiency above 90%.

  • Industry leading capacity
  • High filtration performance with lower pressure drop
  • Heavy duty welded and painted construction
  • Self-cleaning
  • Painted mild steel or stainless steel options
  • Quick & easy removable inlet grille and filtration elements

Key Feature:

The S-Trap Inertial filter is specifically made with strong features to fight against dust or stand storm. In the absence of S-Trap in the AHU the filter can get easily damaged after one storm. 

S-Trap is a one-time investment, and gives a lifelong protection to the filter in turn increasing the AHU lifespan. It also helps in improving the indoor air quality for the buildings. Air filter is the first line of defence to block the dust, it does not take long for a dust storm to clog up a filter, so no air can flow through it. Eventually, that lack of air flow can cause your equipment to break down completely. 

Because dust storms happen frequently, it creates a need to change filters frequently. It may save money by installing S-Trap instead of changing the AHU filter at a regular basis.

How to get rid of Volatile Organic Compounds?

  Due to the recent pandemic explosion around the globe, we are all taking extensive precautions to our health at our home as well as at office premises. But why we are suddenly talking about this and pinpoint the new words • Clean Air • Indoor Air Quality • Air Purifiers • VOC’s [Volatile Organic Compounds] etc Prior to this situation most of us working from exclusive corporate offices/ SEZ parks/ commercial buildings/co-working spaces and even in virtual offices without thinking above topics! What made us think about these? Let us understand these topics one by one VOC: Volatile organic compounds or VOCs are organic chemical compounds whose composition makes it possible for them to evaporate under normal indoor atmospheric conditions of temperature and pressure. According to EPA (Environmental Protection Agency- United States) authority, VOCs have the boiling point range of 50–100 to 240–2600C. These VOCs are everywhere in both indoor and outdoor environments because they have become

How to Tackle Excessive Ethylene In Fruits & Vegetables Warehouses?

  The ripening of fleshy fruits represents the unique harmonization of developmental and biochemical pathways leading to changes in color, texture, aroma, and high nutritional qualities. The gaseous plant hormone ethylene (natural ripening agent in fruits and vegetables) is also an important contributor of nutrition and fiber to the diets of humans. Some fruits and vegetables are more sensitive to ethylene than others, and often they tend to be kept separately. Ethylene  is one of the newest gases being used in fruit and vegetable storage. It is a gas that is released when ripe or damaged fruit is stored. The recommended practice in fruits and vegetable warehouses is to keep ethylene producing items separately from non producing items. Even a small amount of ethylene gas leakage during shipping and storage will accelerate the process of the decay of fresh items. Further, some of the storage providers will use the gases like nitrogen and  sulphur gas  to hamper the high concentrations o

  AIR QUALITY Air quality is one of the most alarming factor in the current time. The rise of air pollution has decreased the air quality giving rise to a bigger consequence of climate change. The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health concern. The Air Quality Index is based on measurement of particulate matter (PM 2.5  and PM 10 ), Ozone (O 3 ), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO 2 ), Sulphur Dioxide (SO 2 ) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions.  The pollution levels in this indoor air can be up to 5 times higher than outdoor levels (in many cases up to 100 times higher), and people spend more than  90%  of their time indoors! Additionally, poor IAQ ranks as one of the  top five  environmental risks to public health, but is often overlooked by key decision makers. The Air Inside Your Building Can Contain: Mold, spores, pollens  Carbon monoxide, radon, volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
