Donaldson’s high efficiency filtration removes particulate contamination from critical environments. Donaldson engineers have worked closely with the aerospace and defense industries to design filters that operate at the highest efficiencies, are easy to maintain, and provide superior protection for passengers, crew, and equipment.

The breadth of our experience in all types of air filtration and close partnership with major airframe manufacturers and airlines enabled us to develop a product line that includes cabin air filters, chemical filters, and specialty filters for the protection of avionics and other equipment.

Behind all our filters stand 80 years of Donaldson filtration experience, as well as our corporate commitment to technologically advanced products and responsive customer service worldwide.

Donaldson brings cleanroom filtration technology to aircraft cabin recirculation systems.

Donaldson Company is the leading manufacturer of HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters. HEPA filters have a removal efficiency of 99.97 percent of all 0.3µm particles. The 0.3µm benchmark is used in efficiency ratings, because it approximates the most difficult particle size for a filter to capture. The filters are even more efficient in removing both smaller particles (tobacco smoke, atmospheric dust, microbiological material) and larger ones (lint, pollen).

HEPA filters can be especially effective in removing bacteria and microbial aerosols from aircraft cabin air.

Because these microbiological organisms are likely to stick to larger particles — in the 1µm to 10µm range — the filter efficiency for particles carrying bacteria or virus is much higher than the minimum efficiency.

Donaldson’s Air Purification System (APS™) is the most effective new technology for cleaning and purifying air in commercial aircraft. 

APS™ combines both chemical and particulate filtration into one. The chemical filtration relies on a technical process called gas phase adsorption that removes bio-effluents, fuel by-products, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), and other contaminants from internal and external sources. The particulate filtration removes dust, allergens, bacteria, viruses and other irritating particles from the air passengers and crew breathe. 

Donaldson APS™ solutions inspire confidence by: 

• Removing gaseous contaminants including odors 

• Providing HEPA efficient particulate and biologic removal, featuring BIOAdvantage™ media 

• Optimally balancing between performance and service interval 

• Minimizing weight increase compared to standard particulate filter 

• Allowing standard HEPA and APS™ filters to be interchangeable
