Preventing Contamination Of Building Ventilation Air

Contaminants from the environment such as biological agents, SARS, and swine influenza A (H1N1) can enter buildings through ventilation systems. Secure Environmental System™ (SES) from Kathabar (USA) is an ecologically safe technology which prevents the contamination of building ventilation air from outside sources. Designed for government, military, medical, laboratories, and other critical facilities, SES: Acts as a scrubber to capture airborne contaminants; Helps protect interior spaces against outside biological attacks, pandemics/epidemics, viruses/germs, and airborne matter; Ensures no microbiological cross-contamination.

Secure Environmental System also exchanges temperature and humidity between airstreams with a desiccant transfer solution, providing energy recovery. The air is scrubbed by the desiccant solution as it passes through high-efficiency packing in each section. System design utilizes separate supply and exhaust air units connected only with piping. Since ventilation and exhaust air are handled by separate units, no cross leakage or microbiological cross-contamination of exhaust air to ventilation air can occur.
