Volume reduction of used high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6311410
A device was designed and constructed to reduce the volume of used high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters from air filtration systems. A pilot model of a three-axis hydraulic compactor was developed for compacting 8 x 8 x 6 in. filters. The model was used to demonstrate that HEPA filter volume reductions in excess of 90% can be achieded. With the encouraging results obtained from the pilot model, a production model was built to accept Size 5 HEPA filters, which measure 2 x 2 x 1 ft. Use of the production model will provide significant savings in both waste packaging and terminal waste storage.
