Airport Air Filtration Solutions

In busy airports, we often see bustling terminals filled with people dragging their luggage hurriedly. Airplanes roar into the sky while ground vehicles continuously shuttle across the tarmac. Behind this scene of activity, have you considered the issue of air pollution in airports? As a melting pot of various pollutants, the air filtration problem in airports directly impacts the health and well-being of thousands of travelers and staff.

Sources of Air Pollution at Airports

Pollutants from Aircraft Operations

Jet engine exhaust is a significant source of air pollution at airports. The emissions from airplanes not only release unpleasant odors but also introduce hazardous unburned hydrocarbons into the environment. Additionally, tire friction during takeoff generates a substantial amount of dust. These pollutants can infiltrate terminals and surrounding buildings, affecting people’s normal breathing.

 

Potential Pollutants Carried by Individuals

Airports gather people from all over the world, and each traveler, along with their personal belongings, including clothing and luggage, may introduce various pollutants into the air, raising concerns about the potential spread of infectious diseases.

 

Pollutants from Ground Service Vehicles

A large number of ground service vehicles—such as pushback tugs, baggage carts, shuttle buses, and employee transport buses—constantly move around the airport. The exhaust produced by these vehicles, along with dust generated from ground friction, can enter airport terminals and other buildings through various channels, posing health risks to travelers and staff.

 

Other Potential Sources of Pollution

1️⃣ Airport Restaurants: Cooking processes generate oil mist and odor pollution.

2️⃣ Designated Smoking Areas: Secondhand smoke and odors from smoking zones.

3️⃣Airport Maintenance: Routine construction and painting activities release volatile organic compounds (VOCs).


All of these pollution sources continuously release harmful gases, necessitating effective air filtration solutions to ensure the safety of all passengers and staff.

 

Current Design Focus of Airport Air Filtration Solutions

Addressing Different Pollutants

Airports serve as a melting pot for various air pollutants, including different sizes of particulate matter, carbon dioxide, and VOCs. Effectively filtering these diverse pollutants to ensure the health and safety of individuals is the core focus of the filtration strategy. This requires designers to conduct on-site assessments and employ a combination of different filters for various areas.

 

Managing Large Space Environments

The massive scale of airport buildings presents a significant challenge for air filtration. Terminals are large, with high ceilings, and experience thermal stratification (where hot air rises and cold air descends). Filtration strategies  should account for the air conditions at both the roof and ground levels, optimizing supply and return airflow while implementing zoned controls to guarantee comfort and health for all.

 

Balancing Efficiency and Energy Consumption

Airports are major energy consumers, with HVAC systems accounting for a substantial portion of total energy use. Our design solutions must prioritize air quality while minimizing energy consumption. For example, installing pre-filters at the heat exchanger's inlet can intercept larger particles, allowing the system to operate at peak efficiency. Alternatively, incorporating low-resistance, high-dust-holding capacity air filters can reduce the average energy consumption of fans.

 

The airport air filtration system is a complex and extensive engineering project, requiring multiple rounds of site assessments by skilled professionals to develop an effective design. As a specialized manufacturer of air filters, we can provide a full range of high-performance air filtration products for the intricate settings of airports, ensuring the respiratory health of everyone within these facilities.
