Wildfire Smoke? Use An Air Scrubber from Builders Site Protection

Here in Central Oregon it is officially our least favorite time of year - wildfire smoke season. As summer comes to a close, we typically see worsening air quality. However bad the air may be, solving the problem with Air Scrubbers is an easy solution to this irritating problem. 

Air Scrubbers operate by drawing huge amounts of ambient air through three stages of filtration, culminating in passing air through an extremely high precision HEPA box filter. These units are capable of filtering our contaminants ranging from simple pollen and smoke particulate to hazardous asbestos dust. 

Our longtime favorite for dealing with wildfire smoke is the Abatement Technologies PRED 750 unit. We offer these units both for sale and for rent through our affiliate Northwest Abatement Rental. The PRED 750 is a portable unit, ideal for use in homes, brick and mortar businesses, mobile containment units, and light construction work/dust control. Replacement filters are available which ensures that machines can operate at peak efficiency while being worked hard.

Furthermore, Builders Site Protection is now a distributor of Omni Clean Air - a leading manufacturer of air purification equipment. To date, we have had a number of extremely satisfied customers using the OA 2200 series negative air machines on numerous hospital projects throughout Oregon and Washington state. If your project has healthcare or environmental remediation needs, Omni Clean Air's suite of specialized equipment may be right for you.

Air Scrubbers Mitigate Wildfire Smoke for Home, Customers, & Employees

With wildfire season already in full swing weeks earlier than usual, smoke has proven to be an irritating menace so far this summer. Both at home and at work, wildfire smoke is a very present and harmful irritant. Fortunately, there is an easy to use tool to solve the issue of smoke particulate indoors.

Air Scrubbers feature three stage filtration, with smoke particulate filtered by a Merv-13 prefilter before reaching a medical grade HEPA filter. With multiple large filters, Air Scrubbers filter both more of, and smaller contaminants from the air compared to normal household systems. 

 
With 750 CFM capacity, these machines can filter vastly more amounts of air than any standard household air purifier. Because of their powerful fans and efficient filtration, these Predator 750 Air Scrubbers are ideal for commercial settings. They are commonly used in large retail stores to keep air clean for customers and employees.
 

Given their power to clean air, these machines are remarkably small, portable, and easy to use. They can be plugged into any standard 3 prong outlet, and the machines can be strung together to increase CFM capacity as needed.

Beyond retail, Air Scrubbers have value in manufacturing settings as well. Smoke particulate can contaminate everything from food products to specialized composite materials manufacturing.

Prepare for Wildfire Season - Stock Up on Air Scrubbers Now

Every summer across the Western US, certain areas wall inevitably get hard hit by wildfires. Last year the slopes of the Cascades in Oregon and the hills of Sonoma burnt for weeks on end. Smoke from British Columbia has at times brought outdoor activities to a standstill, even hundreds of miles away from the source. Because wildfire season is lengthening by the year and the smoke doesn't stay put, it is becoming increasingly likely that at some point any given location in the West will suffer from debilitating wildfire smoke.

The Expanse of last season's fire smoke

 When this happens, the first items to go missing from store shelves are HEPA filters and the associated equipment. Last summer the waiting lists for new Air Scrubbers stretched on for months, even for vendors like us. All of this is to say that the time to stock up on Air Scrubbers, HEPA Filters, and related equipment is now.

 Air Scrubbers are the best way to filter wildfire smoke from air. They feature three stage HEPA Filtration that can easily remove smoke particulates from air. They are used in hospitals, composite material production laboratories, and other specialty settings for that very purpose. Easy to use and portable, Air Scrubbers are also a great solution for use at home.

 Air Scrubbers are in stock for the time being, however they almost certainly will not be if we experience another lengthy wildfire season. Don't wait too long, by August these may be gone.
