Camfil wins the Grand Indoor Climate Prize for its world-class HEPA filtration for cleanrooms
18.06.2020, Stockholm, Sweden - Camfil is thrilled to announce its win at the 'Grand Indoor Climate Prize' in Sweden for its advanced premium HEPA filtration for cleanrooms. Megalam EnerGuard is the first revolutionary change in HEPA filtration for cleanrooms in decades. The filter has three times longer life span than other HEPA filters with membrane media and can generate energy savings of 30-50% compared to traditional fiberglass filters in the industry. The new state of the art, robust and reliable media also provides safer handling with minimal risk of damage during transport and installation.
The motivation of the Jury:
At the award presentation, it was reflected that the main drivers that motivated the jury to select Camfil are - innovation, high filter efficiency, and a combination of best features of traditional fiberglass and membrane filters in the advanced HEPA filter, Megalam EnerGuard. The breakthrough filter technology efficiently separates particles from ventilation air, maintains a lower pressure drop, and contributes to better energy savings than traditional fibreglass filters. The robust filter design is highly durable that significantly reduces the risk of damage to the filter during transport and installation. Megalam EnerGuard is highly practical in all applications and provides premium air filtration.
Torbjörn Bäck, President, Camfil Northern Europe has attended the awards ceremony and describes the experience as “We at Camfil are elated and proud to be nominated in the first place and now with this victory, our success reflects the focus towards sustainability in several dimensions. Our R&D team is dedicated to develop filters that meet future demands for efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and produce less waste through a longer filter lifetime. Thanks to the commitment and efforts of our colleagues in the industry and the industry associations, together we keep driving the indoor air quality technology development forward”.
Megalam EnerGuard is a revolutionary HEPA filter in the market as there have not been any breakthroughs in this technology since the 50s. During the 1990s, HEPA filters were developed with membrane media for the microelectronics industry, which had struggles with the release of boron from fiberglass media in several processes. However, this technology has not been able to replace HEPA filters with fiberglass media in other industries. But now there is a solution for the cleanroom industry in every segment. Megalam EnerGuard with newly developed, robust, and reliable filter media significantly reduces the risk of damage to the filter during transport and installation and results in savings on total cost of ownership (TCO) - something that previously compromised the efficiency of the fitted filter. Furthermore, it is available in all filter classes and grades required by the cleanroom industry. Megalam EnerGuard is also produced in existing filter models and can easily be installed in existing ventilation systems. It is thus accessible to everyone.
