Disaster recovery and restoration can be veiled in mystery to the many who have not undertaken specific training. This glossary explains technical terms to assist both report writing and the understanding of those technical terms so often misunderstood.
Definition
| Baghouse: |
An air pollutant control devise that removes particulate matter and gases from air by forcing airborne contaminates through large filtering bags. Baghouses can vary in their purpose according to the filter materials (media) and methods of collection. Mitigation Note: a) Baghouse machines are used in large construction cleanup jobs where there is a considerable amount of airborne contamination. b) Baghouses are also filtering devices that are attached to vacuums extracting large amounts of dust, dirt and construction debris. See Filtering. |
| Filter: |
A product made to remove contaminate materials from one another. In outside exposed air conditioning units, filters are produced from fibers, mesh and a frame. In inside mounted filters, the media includes various composite and compressed materials having varying thickness and density. See Baghouse, HEPA Filters, Pleated Filter. |
| Filtering: |
The ability of certain filter media to stop particles, gases and vapors, having a larger mass and size, from entering another air space. Filtering allows the passage of smaller particles while retaining larger particles. See Baghouse, HEPA Filters. |
