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 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 ...
  Role of AAF during COVID The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented challenge to public health, and the world of work. COVID-19 has a damaging effect on the health of people and those who have tested positive are said to have prolonged effects. This makes air filtration solutions a must-have this year. While there is no magic solution to eliminate the issues presented by SARS-CoV-2 or other airborne pathogens and viruses, experts agree there are several things that can be done to clean the air and decrease potential risk. Responding swiftly to the pandemic, American Air Filter- a Daikin Group Company has identified many strategies to help provide superior quality indoor air, including filtration, ventilation, and relative humidity through highly efficient PurAir350C PurAir350 - PurAir350C is a compact design ceiling mounted unit integrated with three-stage of high-performance filters which can efficient...
  KITECHEN ECOLOGY UNIT Kitchen Ecology Unit (KEU)   also known as Pollution Control Unit (PCU). It is a complete filter arrangement developed to remove smoke, grease particles and to control odour from the exhaust air stream of kitchen hoods along with exhaust fans, Ecology Unit is considered a perfect solution for commercial kitchens which usually serve Hotels, restaurants, Hospital and Food industry. The  ecological  system  is  an environmentally-friendly solution that helps maintain air quality. The main objective of the  ecological  system  is  to extract the maximum amount of grease in the air emanating from the kitchen hood, to then vent it through the exhaust system and out of the building. The benefits and features of AAF’s KEU: Grease and Smoke (Particulates) - The equipment removes the particulate contaminants (grease aerosols, moisture, other particulate) that are carried over into the exhaust air stream u...
