Always check labeling for certification of contaminant removal from filter products.

Nitric acid is the inorganic compound with the formula HNO3 and is considered to be a strong, highly corrosive acid. It has broad application in industrial manufacturing from fertilizers to high purity uses as an etchant in semiconductor production.

Natural gas is filtered at multiple stages in the process of manufacturing and transport to remove particles, hydrocarbons, water vapor and acid gas. These contaminants contribute to excessive wear, loss of efficiency and decrease the risk of downtime of equipment.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a common process to produce potable water as a supplemental treatment for a residence or as a large-scale municipal process. While there is some debate on the question, there is no scientific evidence that RO water creates any adverse health effects. RO does remove some minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium which are beneficial to health.

Cooling tower systems operate most efficiently when their heat transfer surfaces are clean, but by design, require a large air-_water interface to obtain this cooling and thus the system is subject to four major water treatment concerns: corro_sion, scaling, fouling and microbiolog_ical activity. These waterborne deposits (suspended solids) reduce heat transfer efficiency, which substantially increases the energy cost for operation of chillers.

Many MetSorb(R) adsorbents will remove heavy metals from water and wastewater. Please view our product pages for more information.

In order to maximize the life of reverse osmosis membranes, it is highly recommended to use a filter in front of the membrane with the goals of reducing the risk of fouling the membrane. Membrane fouling is the main cause of permeate flux decline and loss of product quality in reverse osmosis systems. Silt Density Index or SDI (ASTM standard test method D 4189-82), is the empirical test developed for measuring the potential rate of fouling of RO membranes

HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filters are made by using microfiber media typically polypropylene or fiberglass fibers which are capable of removing particles between 0.3 and 10 microns (µm)

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a vacuum deposition method generally used for depositing crystalline micro/nano thin films and structures on wafers using materials such as silicon, carbon, fluorocarbons, tungsten and titanium nitride. Metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), a variant of CVD, is most commonly used for the production of red, blue, green and white LEDs
