Filters for Industry
Steven G. Liescheidt, P.E., CSI-CCS, CCPR.
Overview
Filtration of air is crucial to the HVAC system
performance and the commercial and industrial applications that these systems
serve. Filters are widely used in nuclear ventilation, air cleanup, and
confinement systems to remove particulate matter from air and gas streams. Air
filters are defined as porous structures through which air is passed to separate
out entrained particulate matter. The word “filter” is derived from a word for
the fabric called felt, pieces of which have been used for air and liquid
filtration for hundreds of years. The air we breathe when we are inside
facilities is generally filtered in the HVAC system with the intent of providing
acceptable breathable air quality. In industrial applications the air is
filtered in order to provide the quality of air necessary for the process.
In this course the student will learn about
filters used in critical applications. The information contained in this course
is applicable to many applications for various industries including the nuclear
industry that is discussed in this course. The course includes a significant
general discussion about filter types, styles, ratings, performance testing,
etc. for HEPA, ULPA, pre-filters and other types of filters.
The student is expected to read and review the
material contained in the DOE Handbook Nuclear Air Cleaning Handbook, DOE
HDBK-1169-2003 Chapter 3 – Filters In The Nuclear Industry.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions
at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
