Commercial VOC Air Cleaning: Why Carbon is King

Removing VOC's and related chemical odors in commercial or industrial settings is a serious undertaking that must be done correctly. If these compounds are not removed adequately, there will be health problems for employees and customers. Commercial VOC removal in big kitchens is one thing; in labs, manufacturing or laboratories, those VOC's can be extremely hazardous and indoor PPM (parts per million) levels are often carefully monitored by local and federal regulatory agencies. Aside from the risks to employees and customers (and the company from lawsuits), non-compliance is usually met with hefty fines if VOC levels are above permissible levels. 

Typical VOC's found in various industrial and commercial workspaces include benzenes, esters, alcohols, ketones, alkanes, chloroalkanes and formaldehyde and others. Fortunately, carbon and carbon blend filtration is very effective not only as a chemical odor remover, but also for keeping the chemicals out of the air on a consistent basis. In fact, done properly, commercial VOC air cleaners can keep more than 95% of VOC's out of the air you, your customers and employees are breathing. Do ionizer VOC control systems work? Yes, for a limited range of compounds. 

If you're going to use those ionizers, you have to do a complete analysis to see what compounds are present in the room so that you're not still breathing the chemicals that the ionizer is low or zero-effective at removing--and there are a variety of compounds that aren't well controlled by ionizers. Or you could use quality carbon and cover yourself better, with less liability, since carbon is so effective across a very broad range of chemicals. Industrial carbon air filters do need to be used correctly, however, for best results. Getting the right carbon blend for the pollutants involved, replacing that carbon regularly, and not pushing the air though the carbon too quickly are key points to making a carbon air filtration system effective.
