PAO Test

HEPA Filter Integrity Test / PAO Test

At TRO Air Solutions , we prioritize the safety and quality of your cleanroom environment. As part of our comprehensive cleanroom validation services, we offer HEPA Filter Integrity Testing, also known as PAO (Particle Aerosol Oil) Testing. This critical procedure ensures that your cleanroom's High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are operating at their peak efficiency, providing you with a controlled and contamination-free environment.

Why HEPA Filter Integrity Testing Is Essential:

HEPA filters play a pivotal role in maintaining the cleanliness and purity of the air within your clean room. Over time, these filters can become compromised due to factors like wear and tear, dust accumulation, or manufacturing defects. A compromised HEPA filter can lead to:

• Reduced Efficiency : Contaminants may escape the filter, compromising the quality of your clean room environment.

• Higher Operating Costs : Clogged or damaged filters can increase energy consumption and maintenance expenses.

• Compliance Risks : Failure to maintain HEPA filter integrity can lead to regulatory non-compliance in industries like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and electronics manufacturing.

Our HEPA Filter Integrity Testing Process:

At TRO Air Solutions, we employ state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure the integrity of your HEPA filters. Our process includes:

• Initial Inspection : We visually assess the condition of your HEPA filters, looking for signs of damage, wear, or contamination.

• PAO Testing : We introduce a harmless aerosol challenge (Poly Alpha Olefin) upstream of the filter. The downstream air is then monitored for any particle penetration, ensuring the filter's efficiency.

• Pressure Drop Measurement : We measure the pressure drop across the filter, evaluating its resistance to airflow. A significant increase in pressure drop may indicate filter clogging or damage.

• Report Generation : Upon completion of the test, we provide a comprehensive report detailing the integrity of your HEPA filters, including any necessary recommendations for maintenance or replacement.

Benefits of Choosing TRO Air Solutions for HEPA Filter Integrity Testing:

• Enhanced Clean room Performance : Ensure that your clean room maintains the desired air quality and particle counts.

• Regulatory Compliance : Stay in compliance with industry standards and regulations.

• Cost Efficiency : Prevent costly disruptions and downtime due to contaminated environments.

• Peace of Mind : Trust in our expertise and experience to maintain your clean room's integrity.
