structure for filtration and/or pollution control


Explanation:
This is quite standard language in chemical engineering.
"decontamination" is too narrow, and implies some kind of cleanup of highly hazardous materials such as nuclear waste. What one is doing in "pollution control" is controlling emissions of pollutants on the downstream side of the device. In "filtration", the implication is that one recovers a valuable material which can be recovered by filtering a stream.
