Seeing as we have the ability now, what is your opininion of the best system for cleaning particulates from entering air streams. We are looking for a system which can handle high volume air cleaning down to .2 microns, to 99% (for the .2 micron particulates, not in general). Mark Ross "Le Canuck"

Mark, Duct mounted electronic air cleaners are available that claim to remove 98% of all contaminates down to .01 micron at air flows of around 2000 CFM. Also, HEPA filters are available with 99.97% efficiency at rated air flows of 1100 CFM. They are usually used in clean rooms, operating rooms, etc. You would probably want to use a pre-filter to catch the big stuff with either. You can get an idea of some of these in the Grainger catalog. Dub
