Award-Winning PuraGRID Filter Improves Process Air Quality and Affirms Performance

March 23, 2010 - PRLog -- DORAVILLE, GA – Purafil, Inc., the leading single-source manufacturer of gas-phase air filtration systems, is proud to announce its new PuraGRID filter played a fundamental role in improving the process air quality for Hutchinson Technology. The Case Study for Hutchinson Technology was recently added to Purafil's library to detail the latest success story and highlight the newest addition to our family of products.

After installing the PuraGRID filter with the revolutionary GridBLOK technology and Corrosion Classification Coupons (CCCs), the elevated corrosion rates within the downstream air, which was located in a critical production area of Hutchinson Technology, were reduced by more than 90%. This large reduction in corrosion rates observed in Hutchinson Technology’s chemical filter evaluation program can be attributed to the use of the PuraGRID filter. This evaluation provided a definitive example of the filter’s operational performance.

The innovative gas-phase air filter eliminates the use of a final filter, resulting in lower operating costs and a smaller carbon footprint. The PuraGRID filter essentially provides 100% available gas-phase air filtration, is manufactured in a closed-loop process that does not produce waste, utilizes recycled materials, improves IAQ and reduces energy costs.

Purafil unveiled the PuraGRID filter with the GridBLOK technology in 2009. Within one year, the IAQ PuraGRID filter with the GridBLOK Technology, which is the latest formulation, received an Honorable Mention in the IAQ Category of the 2010 AHR Expo Innovation Awards Competition. The PuraGRID filter with the revolutionary GridBLOK technology also earned the 2009 Gold Dealer Design Award in the IAQ category.


For over 40 years, Purafil has been the world leader in designing, engineering, and manufacturing gas-phase air filtration systems, air monitors, and UL classified granular media. Purafil maintains nearly 30,000 installations in cleanroom, commercial, industrial, archival, and water-wastewater treatment settings worldwide.
