There appears to be a preconceived notion that the greater the surface area covered, the more efficient the filter performance, which leads to the introduction of extra pockets.

Arguing that unclogging of filters plays a critical role in ensuring better Indoor Air Quality, Dr Iyad Al-Attar demonstrates why it is important to determine when and how clogging occurs.

Dr Iyad Al-Attar begins his new series, wherein he conducts an in-depth analysis of Air Filtration and offers his erudite insights.

Dr Iyad Al-Attar explains the importance of defining critical parameters, such as particle size, which affect the performance of air filters. He also strongly advocates the view that we need to take strides in the field of air filtration today to make a positive impact on the health of generations to come.

In Part 11 of the series on air filtration, Dr Iyad Al-Attar explains the three vital stages of air filtration selection

The performance of dust-loaded filters is not well-established, and there is much to be discovered. Future discoveries will help to rectify our past and current activities in filter design, manufacturing and operation of air filters, says Iyad Al-Attar

Air filtration, as we all know, is the process of separating dispersed particles from a dispersing fluid by means of porous media.
