products. Having been involved with
several research and development
projects creating new damper formats,
he is now excited to be working with
M C Air Filtration at the cutting edge
of the technology as the market
leaders in the manufacture of standard
and bespoke high integrity isolation
dampers suitable for use in a wide
range of critical ventilation and process
applications.
He explains “There are many
similarities bet een the offshore oilgas industry and the nuclear world,

explosive atmospheres and radioactive
contaminants, and where zero leakage
is not only desirable but the essential
end-game”.

commonly need a safe system whereby
the associated pre and or

can be replaced in isolation, either
to protect the environment and the
operators from toxic or active particles
present in the air stream, or to protect
the process from contamination

systems to continue to operate, each
filter system must be indi idually
isolated. Commonly available dampers
