Gas phase air filtration improves breathing air: not all gaseous contaminants--including volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--can be identified by smell.(HVAC: SMARTER BUILDINGS[R]: ENGINEERED SYSTEMS)

In fact, controlling VOCs and other gaseous contaminants is even more important when there are no odors to trigger complaints.

Most gaseous contaminants can be removed by source removal/reduction, proper ventilation, and an effective gas phase air filtration system. Gas phase air filtration is usually most effective when used with either source control or ventilation; however, filtration may be the only approach when the source of pollution is outside and the gaseous con...

Probing the energetics of dissociation of carbonic anhydrase-ligand complexes in the gas phase
Biophysical Journal ; ABSTRACT This paper describes the use of electrospray ionization-Fourier transform ion cyclotron mass spectrometry (ESI-FTICR-MS) to study the relative stabilities of noncovalent complexes of carbonic anhydrase II (CAll, EC 4.2.1.1) and benzenesulfonamide inhibitors in the gas phase. Sustained
High molecular weight EPDM via metallocene catalyst and gas phase process.
Rubber World ; N-MG represents the combination of two of the latest technologies in EPDM manufacture, gas phase polymerization and metallocene catalysis. This combination of the two technologies extends the product capabilities to manufacture high molecular weight polymers without any process constraints or cost
Shell-Montell Gas Phase Technology Produces Aliphatic Polyketones.
Plastics Engineering ; A gas phase manufacturing process for aliphatic polyketone polymers, which Shell Chemicals markets under the trade name Carilon Polymers, has been developed by Shell and Montell Polyolefins.

Gas phase technology will boost polyketones.
High Performance Plastics ; A significant boost to aliphatic polyketones (PK), the semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastics pioneered by Shell, has been given by successful demonstration of production technology using the gas phase process. Shell markets the polymers under the name Carilon and claims that, since their
Adsorber.(Focus On Environmental Control)
Medical Design Technology ; This media-based adsorber is designed for the control of airborne gaseous contaminants. Called the CitySorb[TM] CH, it is ideal for HVAC applications in geographic areas where ozone may be a concern, and/or wherever the use of outside air for indoor contamination dilution may be problematic based
