3 . The filter support frame of claim 2 further comprising a plurality of clamps, each clamp of the plurality of clamps being configured to couple the removable plenum to the filter support frame.
4 . The filter support frame of claim 1 , wherein the removable plenum is made from a disposable corrugated material.
5 . The filter support frame of claim 2 , wherein the removable tray and the removable bottom tray are each made from a disposable corrugated material.
6 . The filter support frame of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of air filter receptacle shelves comprises three shelves and the plurality of air filter boxes comprises six air filter boxes.
7 . The filter support frame of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of air filter boxes comprises a filter box inlet, a filter box outlet, and a folded filter medium disposed between the inlet and the outlet.
8 . The filter support frame of claim 1 , wherein the filter support frame is made from a metal material.
9 . A filter assembly comprising:
a filter support frame comprising:
a plurality of air filter receptacle shelves configured to support a plurality of air filter boxes;
a ridge extending vertically along at least a portion of an exterior of the filter support frame;
a clamp disposed on the exterior of the filter support frame proximate to the ridge;
a tray receptacle;
an inlet configured to receive a mixture of air and particulates and channel the mixture of air and particulates toward the plurality of air filter boxes; and
an outlet configured to receive filtered air from the plurality of air filter boxes and channel the filtered air out of the filter support frame;
a removable tray configured to collect particulates; and
a removable plenum, the removable plenum being configured to direct the mixture of air and particulates from the inlet toward the plurality of air filter boxes, the inlet being defined at least in part by the tray receptacle and the removable plenum when installed with the filter support frame;
wherein the filter support frame is configured to channel the mixture of air and particulates through the plurality of air filter boxes simultaneously,
wherein the ridge is configured to abut against an edge of the removable plenum when the removable plenum is installed with the filter support frame, and
wherein the clamp is configured to clamp the removable plenum against at least a portion of the exterior of the filter support frame to couple the removable plenum to the filter support frame
wherein the ridge is spaced a distance away from an inlet end of the filter support frame such that at least a portion of the removable plenum overlaps the exterior of the filter support frame when the removable plenum is installed with the filter support frame and abutting the ridge.
10 . The filter assembly of claim 9 , wherein the tray receptacle is disposed proximate the inlet.
11 . The filter assembly of claim 9 further comprising a base, the base comprising:
a groove configured to receive at least a portion of the removable plenum; and
a bottom tray receptacle configured to receive a removable bottom tray, the removable bottom tray configured to collect particulates.
12 . The filter assembly of claim 9 further comprising an inlet filter blanket removably attached to the filter support frame between the inlet and the plurality of air filter receptacle shelves.
13 . The filter assembly of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of air filter receptacle shelves comprises three shelves and the plurality of air filter boxes comprises six air filter boxes.
14 . The filter assembly of claim 11 , wherein the removable tray and the removable bottom tray are made from a disposable corrugated material.
15 . The filter assembly of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the plurality of air filter boxes comprises a filter box inlet, a filter box outlet, and a folded filter medium disposed between the inlet and the outlet.
