Use air filtration systems to protect air quality from pollutants and other harmful substances

There are many factors that affect indoor air quality in public and commercial buildings. Air filters and separation devices remove pollutant air particles by catching them on filters. High efficiency articulate air filters (HEPA filters) are one example.

I recommend: Air Systems carries various air filtration systems including the Auto Air Breather Box, designed to operate even during a power outage. MST, Inc. provides air separation and filtering systems that not only filter air, but purify it by removing water, oil dirt and many harmful gases.

Choose water separation systems that keep chemicals and harmful waste from reaching the environment

A water filter separator can perform a couple of important duties. It can help separate sediment and other waste from rainwater and storm water for recycling, and can reduce or eliminate waste water to prevent environmental contamination.

I recommend: Separation Dynamics sells filter and separation devices that separate oil from water for reuse. Hydro Engineering products help remove harmful liquids and solid waste from water before it's routed to a sewer or recycled.

Find industrial fluid filtration equipment, centrifuges and more to prevent contamination

Industrial fluid and solid waste separation systems generally have one electrical conducting container that captures the contaminates and another section to trap the separated fluid.

I recommend: Pentair Industrial supplies offers filtration and separation systems that remove oil, grease and solid waste that could contaminate coolants. Industrial Fluid Systems sells centrifuges for liquid/solid and liquid/liquid separation.

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

• •  Make sure to treat fermentation residue, which often occurs during separation and filtering of waste water, to prevent chemical residue from seeping into green space.
