Donaldson to Provide New 787 Air Purification System

Boeing is aiming for more refreshing flights when passengers fly on the new 787 Dreamliner thanks to a combination of innovative features onboard the new Boeing commercial jetliner, including a new filtration system being provided by Donaldson Company. 

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, 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. It's just one of the ways we are providing a better flying experience for the world's travelers."

Dan Adamek, manager of Aerospace Engineering for Donaldson, said, "We're proud to support Boeing in its mission to provide an unsurpassed experience for aircraft passengers and crew." 

Other passenger-pleasing elements of the 787 interior include a lower cabin altitude, increased humidity, larger windows, bigger stowage bins, LED lighting, wireless in-flight entertainment and straighter sidewalls.
