Panasonic, a leading manufacturer of Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries, is located within the Tesla Facility in Nevada, USA. Renowned as one of the largest EV battery production facilities in the United States, it emphasizes our commitment to providing air filtration solutions to control the emission of contaminant gases, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), are widely used in the production of lithium-ion batteries. These compounds play a key role in dissolving binding materials used in electrode manufacturing.
The client needed to remove VOC emissions from the air before exhausting from the facility. Initially, our competitor proposed a large system that consumed significant facility space. When the client consulted AAF, we developed an alternative, space-efficient solution tailored to their requirements after comprehensive analysis and discussions.
AAF provided two 7 x 12 ft (2.1 x 3.7 m) non-powered (passive) vertical Deep Bed Scrubber (DBS-V) units, and a large capacity system equipped with mist eliminators and particulate filters at the inlet. The package also included SAAFCarb media, featuring high-performing gas-phase pelletized carbon, and the VariCel Merv 14 particulate filter, renowned for its high capacity, extended surface, and supported filtration capabilities.
The DBS-V was specifically designed to minimize job site footprint while excelling in VOC removal. To reduce the footprint of the equipment on site, AAF proposed customized vertical deep bed scrubbers (DBS-V units) with a large amount of our high performing SAAFCarb Media along with mist eliminators at inlet.
The SAAF Deep Bed Scrubber-V delivers a complete gas-phase filtration solution with a high media-to-air ratio for demanding industrial environments. Built for mission-critical performance, its patent-pending sealing system locks final filters securely in place to ensure maximum protection and reliable operation.
The VariCel particulate filter provides dependable, long-term performance even in harsh operating conditions. Its open-header design prevents dirty air bypass, enhances handling safety, and supports efficient particulate capture for a wide range of HVAC and industrial applications.
SAAFCarb media is a high-quality pelletized activated carbon engineered to remove harmful and odorous gases from the air. Manufactured from a bituminous coal base and UL 900 Classified, it is ideal for applications involving chlorine, hydrocarbons, nitrogen dioxide, and a broad range of VOC contaminants.
