Talk:HEGA

HEGA: is this trademarked/proprietary?
1) Editing page to fix error: It is High Efficiency Gas ADsorption, not ABsorption-- they are distinct and different processes.

2) Pardon me, I'm new to Wikipedia editing, so I may be doing this wrong. This may seem odd, but I work for the only company that currently seems to use HEGA in its air purifiers. I found this article while trying to ascertain whether it's our proprietary technology or not. (I have an appointment to talk to our engineering staff, but I figured Google could help me in the meantime, right?) The only source cited on the page is uninformative. The information on the page seems to be taken from a brochure my company made some time ago, and while it was rephrased to be less like an ad, it still does not provide much scientific insight. I ask all this because I am in the process of attempting to write an informative, somewhat scientific but readable by laymen article for the dealers of our products to use in answering customer questions about the HEGA filters. If such an article is informational as opposed to salesy, would it be useful to edit this article with the information I can provide?

As it stands I do not feel that this article is very informative. But of course, if no one else in the industry uses this product, as seems to be the case, it would be difficult to avoid mentioning the one company that does. I don't want to be a shill for my company-- I actually signed up for Wikipedia for personal interests and am annoyed that this is the first article I've found to edit-- but neither does it make sense to *not* explain that only one company uses the product.

However. In my searching I have discovered one other product by an unrelated company bearing the same name: Camfil Farr, evidently an industrial filter manufacturer, has a product called the High Efficiency Gas Adsorbers which are apparently filtration devices for nuclear labs. This product page uses the acronym as if it had been defined elsewhere, but I cannot ascertain where.

Please advise?
