National Emissions Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(EPA)
The EPA National Emissions Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) mandated that a new filtration
test method be established to determine the efficiency of a filter
to remove hazardous pollutants from paint overspray. The EPA guidelines
went into effect on September 1, 1998 and continue to set the
standard for paint overspray collection systems today. The test
method to determine compliance is Test Method 319 and all ATI
NESHAP filter products are tested in accordance with this standard.
ATI developed the first NESHAP approved
filtration systems in 1998 and today we offer a variety of different
systems designed to meet your individual needs. Click on the links
below to learn more about two of ATI's most popular NESHAP systems.
The OSM-100 system (two stage) is perfect for exceeding requirements
for existing paint booths and the A-3000 system (three stage)
is ideal for new paint booth systems.
