For over 40 years, Purafil has been the world leader in the engineering and manufacture of gas-phase air filtration media, systems, and air quality monitors. Purafil revolutionized the gas-phase air filtration industry with the development of the world’s first potassium permanganate, air-cleaning media. Today, Purafil is providing innovative, clean air solutions to customers in every geography and market. Purafil is supported by representative firms throughout the United States and over 60 countries. In process industries, we are preventing corrosion of machinery and computer controls. In buildings, we are removing odors and improving indoor air quality. In museums, libraries, and archives, we are preserving art and historical documents. In cleanrooms, we are increasing yield and product reliability. In water and wastewater operations, we are protecting the environment. In postharvest shipping and storage, we are extending the life of fresh flowers and produce.

Purafil Select media removes sulfur oxides and other odorous pollutants from makeup air. Automobiles and other sources of fossil fuel combustion produce these pollutants. In return air applications, Purafil Select removes emissions from office furnishings and human bioeffluents. Purafil Select is also recommended for the preservation of fruits, vegetables, and flowers because of its effectiveness at removing ethylene, a ripening agent. Media Specification .Purafil Select Media shall consist of manufactured, generally spherical, porous pellets. Pellets shall be formed from a combination of activated alumina and other binders, suitably impregnated with potassium permanganate to provide optimum adsorption, absorption and oxidation of a wide variety of gaseous contaminants. The potassium permanganate shall be applied during pellet formation, such that the impregnant is uniformly distributed throughout the pellet volume and is totally available for reaction.
The Chemisorptive Process.The Purafil chemisorptive process shall remove contaminant gases by means of adsorption, absorption, and chemical reaction.Gases shall be trapped within the pellet where oxidation changes the gases into harmless solids, eliminating the possibility of desorption. Removal Capacity.
