Bruce Dawson, president and CEO of StrionAir, held a press conference to introduce the company's GC filter technology, which combines ionization, electrostatics, and mechanical filtration to provide a solution to high-efficiency filtration (MERV 15 and greater) at low pressure drops (0.35-inches WG initial pressure at 500 fpm) with the germicidal ability to kill airborne pathogens.
"2003 was a year of exciting progress for StrionAir," said Dawson. "We obtained third-party validation of our GC filter's MERV 15 filtration efficiency, as well as validation of its germicidal effect against a number of airborne pathogens including the milled weapons-grade anthrax surrogate Bacillus atrophaeus."
