Commercial Room Air Purifiers: Why You Want HEPA, Not Electrostatic

Many businesses (and individuals) read something about electrostatic air purifiers being very efficient particle removers and being washable and jump to make that purchase thinking they’ll have super clean air with no filters to replace. There are several problems with that, however. Electrostatic air purifiers use electrified or charges plates to cause particles to stick to them and require constant cleaning to ensure their full ‘attractive’ power.
 
As they get dirty, the plates are progressively less ‘sticky’ and allow particles to flow through into the room. Many electrostatic air purifiers also release ozone, or cause additional pollutants to be generated as chemicals interact with the ozone or charged plates. In a commercial setting where there are hazardous pollutants (including smoke), this can cause you to think your air is clean when it is not—and that means increased liability for a business.

 
This is why the air filtration systems used for commercial or industrial air quality control include a HEPA filter instead of electrostatic plates. A HEPA filter will trap over 99% of the particles without producing any ozone or other pollutants. And many quality commercial air purifiers will also have the option of including heavy duty activated carbon filters to remove almost any chemical from the air, keeping you and your employees safe and highly-productive. Blueair is one exception. Their air purifiers are used in many commercial situations because they are very quiet, super effective, but do use a slightly electrostatic filter. 
 
Blueair air purifiers use a tiny amount of electricity to release healthy negative ions (OH-) that increase the efficiency of the particle filter, with no ozone production. This produces HEPA performance but allows greater airflow through the filter, less resistance, lower energy usage, etc. Most business owners choose either Amaircare or Electrocorp air cleaners, however, as they are more powerful, offer medical grade HEPA, and many other features.
