Sanders filtration systems
The problem
Reduce Risk Of Airborne Viral Transmission.
Air volume is the largest surface in any building and must be cleaned and filtered. COVID-19 is likely, at least in part, transmitted through the air, and in HVAC systems. Current HVAC filters cannot protect against sub-micron pathogens such as COVID-19 which can travel through the HVAC systems. (ASHRAE 2020) (OSHA 2020) *
The solution
Innovation In HVAC And Room Filtration
With efficiencies as high as 99.9998%, Sanders containment filters remove
sub-micron particles the size of known viruses and bacteria from the air. For
the first time a solution that allows NIOSH N-99 Filtration without the need
for HVAC system retrofit. Using a simple cut to fit pad, these filters can be
applied to any current standard HVAC system or on a simple air mover for a
quick and efficient “scrub” of the air. Treat and filter your facility from
sub-micron particles and allergens and reduce the threat of viral transmission.
During a viral respiratory disease outbreak, “we cannot guarantee the air we
breathe is clean, so we must assume it is not.” Large volume indoor spaces
such as airports, schools, hospitals, cruise ships, and physician offices are
typical candidates that benefit the greatest.
SANDERS CONTAINMENT SOLUTIONS
Reduce over 80%-95% of the sub-micron particles (1 hour/4+ hours) and has
efficiencies as high as 99.99980% BFE. Sanders Containment Filter filter can
be retrofitted in residential and commercial HVAC systems. Our cutting-edge
synthetic media has MERV 16 efficiencies at .1 micron, capturing particles the
size of known pathogens, including Influenza A, H1N1, viruses, bacteria and
fungi.
MERV EXPLAINED: Minimum Efficiency Reporting Values
These ratings report a filter’s ability to capture larger particles between 0.3
and 10 microns (μm). The higher the MERV rating the better the filter is at
trapping specific types of particles. Sanders containment filters are rated to
capture particle @ 0.1 micron (μm) which is beyond the capabilities of MERV
rated filters.
Examples
MERV 6 – not sub micron rated (3.0-10.0μm particles)
MERV 10 – not sub micron rated (1.0-3.0μm particles)
MERV 14 – 0.3 (μm) @ 50%
MERV 16 – 0.3 (μm) @ 95%
SANDERS – 0.1(μm) @ 99.25% or greater

EFFECTS OF TRADITIONAL HIGH EFFICIENCY FILTERS
The primary function of residential and light commercial HVAC systems is to
heat and cool spaces. Filters protect the blower motors and condenser coils,
not filter out sub-micron particles such as bacteria, viruses, and particulate
matter under .3(μm). The addition of a higher rated filter system offering
additional particulate filtering may cause numerous consequences to airflow,
electrical load, and mechanical components' longevity. Sanders Filters address
the weakness in traditional HVAC design by maintaining high flow rates that
do not significantly change a system's dynamics and added functionality from
efficient 0.1 (μm) electrostatic trap filtering.
Using higher efficiency MERV 16 or HEPA filters may lead to potential
problems through significantly increased energy use (>5%)* and usability.
Systems using lower rated MERV filters that are already close to blower
performance limits may exceed the performance limits with MERV 16 filters'
addition.
