Mountain Line Installing MERV-13 Filtration on all Buses and Paratransit Vehicles
Mountain Line has partnered with Lumin-Air to install high efficiency MERV-13 equivalent filtration and UVC on its entire fleet of Gillig and New Flyer fixed route buses and paratransit vehicles.
“The pandemic revealed opportunities for public transit agencies to better manage air quality and flow on vehicles. This system allows us to improve the air quality on our fleet for our riders and operators without adding chemicals to the air.”
Lumin-Air’s system removes harmful particulates from the air that is recirculated throughout the bus. UVC, which is safely located within the HVAC system, kills contaminants and helps keep the bus’s HVAC system clean and efficient.
“We’re excited to work with Mountain Line to provide cleaner air for their riders and operators. Buses are densely packed spaces. Upgrading filtration in buses to the standards we expect in buildings is critical when you consider the impact public transportation has on our communities.”
A visual example of Lumin-Air’s filter removing ultrafine particulate matter like smoke from the air can be found on Lumin-Air’s website, or on YouTube, Lumin-Air Smoke Filtration.
