Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner will be a breath of fresh air, due to a new air-filtration system being provided by filtration system maker Donaldson Company under a new deal announced with the aerospace giant.
The Donaldson Air Purification System removes gaseous irritants and odors from the aircraft cabin, as well as allergens, bacteria and viruses.
“Today's airplanes have very clean air thanks to HEPA filtration which removes particulates from the air,” said Mike Bair, Boeing's vice president and general manager of the 787 program. “The 787 will be the first commercial jetliner to have of this new gaseous filtration technology for even cleaner air.”
The 787 includes a family of three airplanes. The 787-8 Dreamliner will carry 223 passengers up to 8,500 nautical miles. The 787-3 will carry 296 passengers on ranges up to 3,500 nautical miles. The 787-9, a longer version of the 787-8, will carry 259 passengers with a range of 8,300 nautical miles.
Donaldson is a worldwide provider of filtration systems and replacement parts. The company serves customers in the industrial and engine markets, including in-plant air cleaning, compressed air and gas purification, power generation, aerospace and defense, off-road equipment and trucks.
