There is growing evidence of resistance of certain micro-organisms to standard disinfection technologies including chlorination and UV radiation. Mechanical removal of these organisms through filters is often the best choice. However, the filter technology must be capable of reliably removing a variety of micro-organisms. The NanoCeram® filtration technology reduces micro-organisms (such as viruses, bacteria & protozoa which can include Cryptosporidium, Giardia Intestinalis, Legionella, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, E-coli, Mycobacteria, Aspergillus), endotoxins & DNA by 99.9999% at flow rates significantly higher than other filter technologies.
NanoCeram filters utilize a non-woven filter media containing a thermally-bonded blend of microglass fibers and cellulose infused with nanoalumina fibers. The microglass and cellulose act as the scaffold upon which the active component of these filters (the nanoalumina fibers) is permanently affixed. The advantage to this technology is that it is an adsorptive removal process; this innovative nanotechnology is based on attaching nanoalumina boehmite (AlOOH) fibers 2 nm in diameter x 250 nm in length onto a submicron microglass structural fiber. This method makes available greater than 42,000 square meters of nanofiber surface area per square meter of filter media of loading capacity.
Most filters separate particles by the mechanisms of sieving, inertial impaction, interception and diffusion. This is true of most membranes as well as fibrous depth filters. Electropositive filtersprincipally use adsorption, also called electro-adhesion, as the filtering mechanism, one that has been used for decades, either as a memberane or a fibrous depth filter. Electropositive membranes, however, have several disadvantages including a very low dirt holding capacity, a tendency to foul quickly, and high costs for materials, maintenance and operation. A highly efficient fibrous filter that is electropositive and has a high flow rate is a more difficult technology to achieve.
NanoCeram is an electropositive fibrous filter media with high particle removal efficiency as well as high dirt holding capacity. It delivers results that conventional separation technologies simply can’t. Utilizing patented electropositive filter technology, this cutting-edge purification process makes conventional treatment products obsolete by delivering a sustained, precise, consistent, cost-effective and highly efficient filtration process in a simple and easy to handle filter cartridge.
