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 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 hi...

How To Tackle Dust Challenges in The Plastics Recycling Industry?

  Plastics are one of the greatest inventions to come out of humanity. The problem with the excessive amount of plastic in our world has become a global concern at present, and a lot of people are finding ways to solve this problem. One of those solutions is the recycling process.  Recycling is the process of repossessing materials that can be used again instead of being disposed of in landfills or incineration. Quality recycled plastics are much more durable and less prone to damage than virgin plastics. Many consumers like the plastics they find in their products after recycling them, or simply use the recycled products as home decorating items. The recycling of plastics does not just create alternative forms of plastic. It creates a few additional problems for the environment. It is a perfect example of the tragedy of the commons, in which people choose to ignore an overwhelming amount of data that proves their actions are harmful to others and themselves. Although ...
