Healthcare and Hospital Facilities

The design and selection of filters for Hospital and healthcare facilities requires quite a different approach as when compared to other public buildings. The patients, nurses, doctors, other staff and visitors requires clean and healthy air which also needs to be free from airborne contaminants such as bacteria and virus. The air supplied should also be clean so as not to infect wounds or lacerations in critical areas such as Operation theatres.  The ambient air inside hospitals may also contain gas phase contaminants from outside industrial plants, vehicular exhaust, laboratories, cleaning agents.

Apter can provide a variety of solutions inside hospital and health care facilities which include normal Pre filters, Fine filters, Hepa filters, Gas phase filters, special filter products such as Laminar flow systems, Terminal housings, Ducted Housings and Air Purifiers. Hepa filters are the most efficient of air borne particulate filters commercially available in the market and extensively used in hospitals and Health care facilities. They find applications in Cleanroom facilities and other controlled environments such as Semiconductor industry, Aerospace facilities, Nuclear Power plants which require ultra clean air.

Some of the common contaminants inside hospital environment includes coarse and fine particles such as dust, pollen, moulds, Microbes such as bacteria & virus, gas phase contaminants such as VOCs, chemicals used in labs, vehicular exhaust & industrial pollutants.
