Abstract

A central mobile air collection and treatment platform to establish and maintain a negative air pressure environment in a designated structure. Multiple stage air filtration stations within a central vacuum source combine general dust filtration, collection and disposal with inline multiple particulate HEPA filtration in a high volume self-contained mobile platform configuration for adaptable multi-venue staging.

Claims (24)

1 . A mobile apparatus for establishing central negative air collection and treatment of air entrained contaminants comprising,

a self-contained mobile trailer assembly,

a negative air collection and filtration apparatus on said trailer assembly,

said negative air collection and filtration apparatus comprises,

a first dust collection filter assembly and a secondary high efficiency air particulate air filtration filter configuration,

a central vacuum circulation source in communication with said first and second dust and air filters, collection and transportation conduits in communication with said first dust collection filter and a remote established negative air work environment.

2 . The mobile apparatus for collection and treatment of contaminated air set forth in claim 1 wherein said first dust collector filter comprises,

a multiple dust bag cartridge filter assembly therewithin.

3 . The mobile apparatus for collection and treatment of contaminated air set forth in claim 1 wherein said secondary high efficiency particulate air filter comprises,

an airflow distribution duct, directional baffles in communication with said duct and multiple banks of HEPA air filters.

4 . The mobile apparatus for collection and treatment of contaminated air set forth in claim 1 wherein said vacuum circulation source comprises,

a blower fan downstream of said first dust collector filter and upstream of said second high efficiency particulate air filter configuration.

5 . The apparatus for collection and treatment of contaminated air set forth in claim 3 wherein said multiple banks of HEPA air filters comprises,

spaced parallel effacing banks of individual HEPA filtration units within an access containment and venting housing.

6 . A process for establishing a central negative air collection and treatment of entrained contaminants in a vacuum airstream comprises the steps of,

a. establishing a central negative air environment within a containment structure,

b. transferring a contaminated negative airstream to a mobile self-contained filtration vacuum apparatus platform,

c. separating airborne contaminants within said contaminated negative airstream by a first multiple dust bag cartridge filter assembly,

d. transferring filtered air from said first multiple dust bag cartridge filter assembly to a high efficiency particulate air filter assembly on said platform,

e. separating remaining airborne contaminants within an airstream from said first dust multiple bag cartridge filter assembly by said high efficiency particulate air filter assembly downstream therefrom.

7 . The process set forth in claim 6 wherein said step of establishing a negative air environment within a structure comprises,

a mobile central negative air collection and filtration platform having a vacuum blower therewithin.

8 . The process set forth in claim 6 wherein said transferred filtered air from said dust bag collector filter to a high efficiency particulate air filter assembly comprises,

an airflow distribution manifold duct, directional baffles in an entrained airstream defined vacuum flow air filter.
