The DuraPak B is AAF’s entry-level product in the DuraPak product range. Suitable for dry, medium dust load environments, with a durable media designed for pulse cleaning and specifically designed for gas turbine intakes. The DuraPak B is a direct replacement for existing ASC filter houses without modification to the holding arrangement.
The DuraPak B has an M6 (MERV 12) efficiency, although this is classified as F8 against the EN779:2002 standard. This is a tried and tested product and has been in the DuraPak portfolio for many years. Like all cellulose/synthetic blends, an application assessment should be made when used in humid or very high dust applications.
