Data Center Air Filtration
The ISA (International Society of Automation) identifies airborne corrosive gases like hydrogen sulfide as a leading cause of electronic equipment failure in critical environments.
Protect Data Center Equipment with Advanced Air Filtration Solutions
Atmospheric corrosive gases like hydrogen sulfide, NOx, and SOx have become a major threat to electronic equipment, especially in areas with oil refining, waste treatment, or heavy emissions. Once inside a data center, these gases corrode copper surfaces and silver solder, causing intermittent or hard failures. Leading manufacturers now require compliance with ISA S71.04 to limit gas exposure. Hydrogen sulfide, in particular, reacts with humidity to form sulfuric acid, which can damage circuit boards in just 3–4 months. Effective gas elimination is essential for maintaining data center reliability.
Professional Air Filtration Systems
SET3 and PureAir Filtration have developed an air filtration system specifically designed for the data center environment.
SET3’s standalone air filtration systems are engineered to remove corrosive gases without adding humidity—protecting sensitive electronics in critical environments. Using advanced chemisorbent technology, these systems neutralize harmful gases before they can damage equipment.
Low-noise, energy-efficient blowers ensure continuous air circulation
Gas-adsorbent GeoPleat® filters trap and neutralize corrosive gases
Visual indicator: media changes from purple to white as it’s consumed
Chemisorbent media made from activated alumina with potassium permanganate
SET3 tests your air quality using ISA-compliant copper/silver coupons or air samples, with certified lab analysis to confirm corrosive gas levels and guide mitigation.
PureAir Filtration specializes in the removal
of harmful gasses from critical environments.
PureAir Filtration Systems
PureAir systems have been proven to dramatically reduce electronics failure where high levels of air pollutants exist. PureAir products are used to protect critical systems and precision works for clients such as NASA and the US National Archives.
The PureAir Corrosion Coupon Service
The PureAir Corrosion Coupon Service is offered by PureAir Filtration to help our customers determine the degree of contamination and corrosiveness of an indoor environment. In conjunction with PureAir media testing system monitoring programs, this information is invaluable for identification and specification of corrosive conditions which may exist in sensitive electrical equipment environments.
Testing & Apparatus Description
The objective of the test is to expose silver and copper strips to the contaminated air in an environment of interest. After a given period, normally 30, 60 or 90 days, remove the coupons and analyze to determine the thickness of the corrosion films that have formed on the coupon surfaces. The thickness of the film is subsequently correlated with various contaminant concentrations as classified by the Instrument Society of America (ISA).
The silver and copper coupons are typically mounted on a test panel which in turn is protected by a flexiglass frame. The entire assembly is shipped in an airtight plastic bag.
Our consultants will assess your facility’s air quality and deliver targeted, actionable recommendations to protect sensitive equipment and maintain environmental integrity.
