NanoCeram Superfilters
Inducted In: 2005, Environmental and Resource Management
The demand for safe water is growing as consumers become more aware of waterborne pathogens.
Thanks to cooperative efforts with NASA to develop advanced water recovery systems for long duration space flights, NanoCeram filters far exceed current filtration systems to satisfy the most difficult water treatment requirements.
A variety of filter configurations, including pleated and multi-layer designs, now provide unsurpassed filtration efficiency for industrial, residential and recreational water purification.
