AFM stands for Activated Filtration Material, a revolutionary product made from green glass and been used globally by several MNC's like Heineken, Pepsi etc.... This is the only filtration. AFM is used in the pre-treatment chemical free process of potable and waste water treatment. Some of the features of the product are as follows.
- AFM works as a Molecular Sieve & also as a Mechanical adsorption like GAC.
- The surface area is 300 times more to that of sand. (Sand has 3000 m2/ton & AFM has a 1000000 m2/ton).
- The surface has a -70mV charge on it.
- The life of the media is more than 10 years.
- The media is self sterilising and it does not bio foul hence no mud ball formation or media replacement.
- It removes particle size unto 5 micron. Benefits of the product in continual operation are as follows:
- No need to change the media for the entire life of filter.
- Reduce the chemical consumption by 15-20 %.
- Removes heavy metal like iron, manganese, chromium etc..... from the water.
- Removes organics & disinfection by-products from the water.
- Increases the life of the GAC/activated carbon.
- Increases the life of RO/UF/resins & prevents the bio fouling.
- Prevents bio film formation and pseudomonas problems prevalent in the system.
- Controls bromates & bio fouling in the SWRO system.
