Nano turbidity filter for purifying water and industrial solutions claims extraordinary filtration efficiency and dirt holding capacity 20 times greater than conventional cartridges
Argonide has launched its high performance pleated Superfilter for purifying water and industrial solutions.
As compared to microglass, melt blown and membrane media, the new nanofilter is said to have superior performance for filtering particles from microns down to a few nanometers.
The proprietary technology is based on a highly electropositive filter that rapidly adsorbs particles, no matter how small.
The nominal pore size is two microns, yet the filter functions as if it had a 0.03 micron pore size rating, says Arginide.
Flow rates and clogging resistance are claimed at tens to hundreds of times greater than equivalent performing membrane filters.
"Our innovative cartridges provide the user with filter life tens to hundreds of times greater than conventional filters with similar dimensions," says Fred Tepper, president of Argonide.
"This gives the user major payback by reducing the cost and inconvenience of filter change-outs".
The Superfilter is available in a wide variety of discs and cartridges.
Applications include turbidity removal, industrial water purification, pre-filtration for reverse osmosis membranes, chemical and pharmaceutical processing, swimming pools, and food and beverage manufacture.
By mid 2005 the company plans to offer a unique depth filter capable of producing drinking water to EPA standards.
Applications will include portable water purifiers and point of use faucet mount and under the counter filters.
