The Air Filtration Experts
Purified Air is a British manufacturer and has been a market leader in commercial air filtration since 1984. We specialise in commercial kitchen odour control & filtration, industrial air filtration, and indoor air quality.
Tried and Tested
Most of our commercial air filtration products have been developed in-house, tried and tested by independent bodies and universities, and used by leading brands.
UK Manufacturer
We are a UK based manufacturer that designs, supplies and services commercial kitchen air filtration and odour control solutions, as well as industrial air filters and indoor air quality systems.
40+ Years Experience
Specialising in commercial kitchen extraction, we also design market-leading commercial indoor air filtration systems to combat virus and bacteria threats.
Short lead times
Customers benefit from short lead times and quick delivery because most of our air filtration products are built for stock.
Early pioneers in air filtration
As an early pioneer in the control of kitchen pollution, we developed commercially viable systems in the late 1980s. We work with major brand leaders across the fast and casual dining sectors and draw on decades of experience to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in public spaces such as offices, shopping centres and airports. Our expertise now extends into industrial air filtration, using our market-leading ESP technology to capture oil mist and smoke in manufacturing and engineering facilities. We are proud to offer a range of IAQ and virus control air filtration products designed to enhance air quality in workplaces, education facilities, and healthcare facilities.

Our history
Purified Air is a commercial air filtration company that specialises in indoor air control and odour control and was founded in 1984.
As our commercial kitchen extraction company grew rapidly in the ‘80s, so did our in-house service team. We soon began working with international brands like McDonalds – a long-term relationship that remains today – and expanded globally when our first major distributor in the Middle East was established. We’ve been commissioned to supply air filtration systems for kitchen extraction and indoor air control for high profile clients – from Pizza Express to Premier Inn, and Harrods to the Houses of Parliament.
Over the years, our reputation for in-depth expertise in air filtration and IAQ grew. We have been called upon by government representatives to advise on official guidance for the control of cooking emissions.
With long-standing senior leaders and a robust team of over 80 employees, Purified Air is now a major distributor on every continent and across 40 countries. Always at the forefront of new technologies and innovations in the commercial air filtration industry, we’re actively involved in the design of every project.
In 2020, we developed virus irradiation units to help organisations combat airborne coronavirus in occupied spaces. This technology remains part of our ongoing product portfolio today.
Today, we continue to expand our international presence, forging new partnerships in Southeast Asia, while strengthening our position within the US market. Alongside our commercial kitchen solutions, we have established a rapidly growing Industrial Air Filtration division. Using our market-leading ESP and media filtration systems, we help manufacturing and engineering clients across the UK and US capture oil mist, smoke, and airborne contaminants, improving workplace safety and overall operational efficiency.
