AqueoUS Vets® (AV®) EcoCarb Sustainable Carbon Water Filtration Medias

AqueoUS Vets® (AV®) EcoCarb media is environmentally friendly, produced from byproducts of other manufacturing processes. Minimal processing is involved which provides a lower overall carbon footprint. EcoCarb is friendly to the environment and offers equivalent performance, eliminating contaminants from drinking water. Each EcoCarb Media can be selected for the specific removal of contaminants based on water quality goals.

• EcoCarb 1240BA – Produced from bituminous coal sourced from remediated coal refuse sites.

• EcoCarb 1230C and 1240C – Produced from a renewable source, coconut shells, which remove CO2 from the atmosphere during the growing stage.

• EcoCarb 1240LDX and 830LDX – A low-density subbituminous coal byproduct extracted during the manufacturing process of a pigment. www.aqueousvets.com

CERAFILTEC: Advancing the Performance of Ceramic Membranes

By Julius Gloeckner, Chief Growth Officer

Si nce our founding, CERAFILTEC® has focused on advancing both the superior performance of ceramic membranes as well as their important advantages in the realm of sustainability. Regarding performance, ceramic membranes are known for their robustness and chemical and thermal stability, enabling reliable plant operation even in challenging feed water. They can withstand harsh cleaning processes without compromising their lifespan. With an expected service life of 15-20 years – far longer than polymeric membranes – they reduce the frequency of replacements and require less maintenance, significantly lowering operational costs and complexities. These characteristics also make them fully cost-competitive over polymeric membranes.

Our ceramic membranes also offer significant benefits regarding sustainability. They are reusable, and unlike polymeric membranes, generate no plastic waste. Typically made from aluminum oxide, they present no PFAS-linked PVDF. Highly resistant to mechanical and chemical degradation, they are suitable for reliably treating water and wastewater of wide application ranges.

As CERAFILTEC continues to innovate, we are leading the shift from polymeric membranes to ceramic membrane technology. Our latest advancements include:

• Active Cake Layer Filtration (ACLF), a process combining adsorption directly with ultrafiltration that enables the removal of contaminants such as organics, microplastics/microfibers, and many other toxins.

• FLEXX-CAP® , which harnesses the power of enhanced fluid dynamics to significantly increase the performance of ceramic membranes in MBR systems.

FLEXX-CAP enables the first membrane technology that is unbreakable, always cleanable, and also movable.

• And most recently, CERApro®, the first advanced ceramic membrane projection tool. It enables engineers, plant owners, and designers to calculate, visualize in 3D, plan, and simulate the design and operation of plants using CERAFILTEC’s ceramic flat membranes.

CERAFILTEC is a global leader in ceramic ultrafiltration membrane technology, transforming water and wastewater treatment worldwide. Committed to a sustainable future, CERAFILTEC aims for CLEAN WATER. EVERYWHERE. www.cerafiltec.com
