Abstract

A modular air-cleaning apparatus for the treatment of contaminated air. The apparatus includes a plurality of modular units cooperatively interconnected, wherein the plurality of units includes at least one separator unit functioning on non-collisional principles and at least one filtration unit functioning on collisional principles. Each modular unit is constructed of a durable and machinable material that is capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions of use and is formed in a rectangular shape around four corner posts. Each post possesses at least one exposed, outwardly-facing surface with a side margin parallel to a long dimension of the post. The posts aid both in establishing and maintaining a mechanical connection between the unit and another of the modular units with which it is in operable connection, and in enhancing structural and mechanical characteristics of the unit. The posts have a plurality of surface faces, wherein one or more of the faces is adapted for operative connection to another one of the modular units.
