COVID-19 Corona Virus Resources:
Commercial Filtration Guidance:
ASHRAE Recommends: SOURCE LINK
- MERV 13 or greater filtration efficiency as effective on viral particles
- MERV 14 preferred
Recommended Products:
2″ & 4″- ULTRA X2 | Mini-85 | Mini-95 | ULTRA 4 | Tri-Pleat Green
6″ & 12″ – MV95 | ULTRA Gold | ULTRA 6 | ULTRA XV
Healthcare Final Filtration Guidance:
- MERV 16 – Similar to N95 Mask Efficiency
- 95 DOP / E10 (H)EPA
- 98 DOP / E11 (H)EPA
- HEPA (99.97% or 99.99% at 0.3 Microns) | H13
Recommended Products:
MV95 | ULTRA Gold | ULTRA XV 16/99 | Tri-Pure 2000 | Tri-Pure HEPAMAX
Ultraviolet Energy (UV-C) SOURCE LINK
- Ultraviolet energy inactivates viral, bacterial, and fungal organisms so they are unable to replicate and potentially cause disease.
- The entire UV spectrum is capable of inactivating microorganisms, but UV-C energy (wavelengths of 100 – 280 nm) provides the most germicidal effect, with 265 nm being the optimum wavelength.
- The majority of modern UVGI lamps create UV-C energy with an electrical discharge through a low-pressure gas (including mercury vapor) enclosed in a quartz tube, similar to fluorescent lamps.
Recommended Products:
TRS System | RLM Xtreme | X-Plus | GLO (Upper Air Disinfection) | ADS (Airborne Disinfection System)
Portable HEPA Containment Units
- Austin Air Healthmate – Recommended for residential, small commercial offices, waiting rooms, etc..
