PALL AIR CORPORATION PURIFYING
Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic,
many technology companies have finetuned
their focus to meet global health
needs to protect from the virus. One
of those companies is Port Washington
based Pall Corporation.
As an industry leader in air filtration,
separation, and purification, Pall’s
work gained extra momentum when
the coronavirus hit: Its products and
technologies could be a key component
to keeping people safe from the virus
indoors.
“From the start of the Covid-19 crisis,
Pall has drawn on the depth and
breadth of our material science and
engineering expertise across a wide
range of industries,” Jennifer Honeycutt,
president of Pall Corporation,
said in a statement, “to devise trusted
solutions that support research, help
patients heal, and eliminate the spread
of this disease.”
In August, the United
States Department of
Defense (DOD) awarded
Pall with a $4.9 million
contract to ramp up
production of a new air
ventilator filter. This
will help the company
increase its production
capacity from 485,000 to
650,000 units per month
when the product line
opens in fall 2021.
“We are proud Pall was
awarded this DOD contract,
which allows us to
increase the production
of ventilator filters to
help protect patients and give healthcare
workers the equipment needed in
a pandemic situation,” Honeycutt said.
Pall is headquartered on the North
Shore and has 80 locations worldwide
that research, develop, and distribute
important industrial, health, and environmental
technology. The company’s
Life Sciences and Industrial divisions
work on various innovative projects,
including finding solutions for
pharmaceutical development,
protecting from contaminants
in food and beverage manufacturing,
speeding electronic
production, addressing water
quality issues, and more.
Pall has also been aiding drug
companies producing Covid-19
vaccines. The company joined a
consortium, led by the University
of Oxford, which gathers leading
tech and science companies to
consult on vaccine development.
Pall has offered its expertise on
scaling up manufacturing processes,
which are now being used
by several drug makers.
“It’s through our innovation,” Honeycutt
said, “that we will continue to
apply our expertise in novel ways to
protect people around the world.”
