Nanotechnology in Filtration



Nanofiber media are growing in importance in filtration applications due to their small pore size and high surface area. The addition of a small amount of nanofibers to an existing nonwoven filter media can significantly improve efficiency with minimal increase in pressure drop and filtration products constructed entirely of nanofibers can compete against traditional membranes and porous films. Join us on October 30th to hear the latest developments in this quickly growing market from industry experts Chris Shields of Finetex Technology and Rod Komlenic of Ahlstrom Filtration.
