begins with the capture COMPETENCE BROCHURE ON

POLLUTANT CAPTURE FROM ULT
Air pollutants are collected before filtration, because only
what is captured can be filtered. The degree of capture
forms the basis for the subsequent optimal filtration.
Consequently, this results in the efficiency of the entire
system and therefore the pollutant residues in the recir-
culated exhaust air.

Rule of thumb: doubling the distance
The selection of the best-suited collection element is between the collecting element and the
