This is an air [[filtration]] system that will scrub all bad gases from the air, place them in a tank and cool down the air at the same [[time]]. A second simplified system is listed below, which merely vents any gas not matching base air back to the [[world]].

=== Filter System (Dual) Items Used ===
* [[Active Vent]]
* [[Atmospherics|Atmospherics(Filtration)]]
* [[Filter|Filters (CO2, Pollutant, Volatiles)]]
* [[Passive Vent]]
* [[Pipes]]
* [[Pipe Meter]]
* [[Pipe Radiator]]
* [[Pipe Volume Pump]]
* [[Tank]]

This is a more basic simplified air filtration system, which merely vents any gas not matching base air ([[Oxygen]]/Nitrogen) back to the world [[atmosphere]].

=== Filter System (Basic) Items Used ===
* [[Active Vent]]
* [[Atmospherics|Atmospherics(Filtration)]]
* [[Filter|Filters (Oxygen, Nitrogen)]]
* [[Passive Vent]]
* [[Pipes]]
* [[Pipe Volume Pump]]

=== Filter System (Advanced) Items Used ===

**Important**: This is before the tank and new gases update

* [[Active Vent]]
* [[Atmospherics|Atmospherics(Filtration)]]
* [[Filter|Filters (Oxygen, Nitrogen, etc everything you want)]]
* [[Passive Vent]]
* [[insulated Pipes]]
* [[2 x Turbo Volume Pump]]
* [[2 x Pipe analyzer]]
* [[1 x IC10 Housing]]
* [[Y x IC chips]]
* [[X x Memory Sticks]]
* [[Y x Insulated Tanks]]
* [[Y x One way gas valves]]

For simple reference this is a standard setup on [[Mars]]:
Long time goal is to have an reliable but expandable filtration setup, which is less [[power]] consuming than normal setups.
~ Each [[pipe]] analyzer 5 W, each Housing 50 W, each Turbo Volume Pump up to 600 W (depends on the setting), each filtration unit (10 or 110W) depending on the idle state.

To get an basic understanding:

* Main Prefiltration Tank
* Master [[IC10]] Chips & Memory Sticks
* Every filtration unit has it owns one way gas valve, own tank but the input and "waste output" is one common pipeline

The master chips has EVERY value it need to turn EVERY filtration unit but every filtration unit has an IC10 chip to check itself if a minimum mol is in the main line.
Master Chips checks temperature and Sum of moles to calculate and pump speed value.

The higher the [[pressure]] difference from Input to Output vs Output2 the more efficient the Filtration is per [[tick]].

Prefiltration Tank -> TVP1 -> Main line -> Filtration1
Filtration 1 -> One Way Valve -> Tank
Filtration 1 -> Waste Line -> TVP2 -> Prefiltration Tank

In an "older" version you read the tank but now you need to measure every pipeline via a pressure analyzer.
