Activated Carbon Filtration Systems

Client Challenge: With 6 hospitals and 103 ambulatory facilities Henry Ford Health System has 15,374 employees and about 5 billion dollars in revenue. With an operation of this size in a “life and death” environment, all computers must run 100% of the time and with no failure. As part of their strategy for no downtime, Henry Ford Hospital Data Center had the need for a high purity system for ultrasonic humidification. Since data centers are required to maintain a controlled environment with specific humidity for the operation of their hard drives and data storage devices, the quality of the air in the data center is critical. Any impurities in the air can create dust and that can lead to the eventual failure of critical systems. Besco Solution: Designing and installing a high purity system for ultrasonic humidification is a core competency of Besco Commercial. We have done it before and understand the critical nature of the application and the need for precision. The real challenge at Henry Ford, and one that Besco faced at Chase Bank too, was the small space that the installation had to fit into. Besco Commercial was given a footprint that was approximately 4’ in depth. However, just as at Chase, we were able to manipulate the equipment to fit this small area and provide the humidification requirements that the Health System needed for a successful installation.
