Cleanova has been awarded the contract to provide a 72-panel air intake filtration system to Canada’s largest producer of industrial, medical, and specialty gases. The filtration system, designed using Cleanova’s Dollinger filtration range, will ensure the plant’s compressed air supply remains free of contamination, safeguarding the quality of the gases produced.
The gas manufacturer processes ambient air to produce gases like oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen, which are essential for various sectors including energy, medical, and industrial applications. Given the extreme cold temperatures in Canada, which often dip below freezing, the company requested that an infrared heating element be incorporated into the filtration units. This addition will ensure the intake air remains warm enough to prevent the formation of ice or moisture, which could disrupt the performance of the downstream compressors.
To meet the customer’s specific environmental and technical needs, Cleanova collaborated closely with the company to design a tailored filtration solution. The new system will feature 72 filter panels and will be capable of handling flow rates up to 216,000 cubic feet per minute. It will be based on Cleanova’s Dollinger AI-146 walk-in units, designed for easy maintenance, including convenient filter replacement.
Carlos Sanchez, Sales Manager for Filtration Americas at Cleanova, expressed pride in the longstanding partnership with the customer. “This customer has trusted our Dollinger brand filters for over 30 years at various locations worldwide. We are honored to continue developing customized filtration solutions that meet their high standards for quality and sustainability. This new system will ensure clean air, protect critical equipment, and maintain the purity of the end product, further supporting our customer’s reputation and profitability.”
The filtration units will be manufactured at Cleanova’s facility in India, with delivery expected in December 2025.
Founded in October 2023 and backed by the pan-European private equity firm Px3 Partners, Cleanova brings together a range of established industrial filtration brands including Action Filtration, AeroPulse, AFT, Airpel, and Dollinger, among others. The company employs over 1,400 people across manufacturing sites, sales, and service centers in multiple countries, including the US, Canada, Mexico, India, China, and Australia.
