Problem
Conventional air filtration systems in commercial buildings struggle to efficiently remove airborne particulates, wildfire smoke, and pathogens, leading to increased maintenance, filter waste, and compromised indoor air quality. Traditional HEPA filters require frequent replacement and can have high pressure drops, impacting HVAC system performance and energy consumption.
Solution
Metalmark offers self-renewing air cleaning systems designed for commercial buildings that utilize advanced HEPA-grade filters to capture airborne particulates, wildfire smoke, VOCs, and pathogens. The Tatama™ air cleaner uses a self-renewal process to break down trapped contaminants and inactivate pathogens on the filter, significantly extending filter life and reducing maintenance. This technology reduces the costs associated with filter replacement and solid waste while maintaining high efficacy in removing harmful airborne substances. Metalmark also offers the Sierra™ Smoke Safe Filters, a MERV 13 HVAC filter designed as a drop-in replacement with enhanced protection against wildfire smoke without compromising airflow.
Target Audience
Metalmark's primary customers include schools, hospitals, and commercial building operators seeking cost-effective, low-maintenance air cleaning solutions to improve indoor air quality and reduce environmental impact.
