NanoCLEAR Standard Series
CLEAR Solutions’ NanoCLEAR series pleated filter cartridge features a thermally bonded blend of microglass fibers & cellulose infused with nanoalumina fibers in a non-woven matrix that creates an electropositive depth filter media. When assembled into a pleated cartridge, NanoCLEAR offers a unique combination of efficiency, capacity, flow rate & low pressure drop at levels unmatched in today’s filtration marketplace. In addition, all NanoCLEAR filter cartridges are assembled using only FDA-compliant materials.
This cartridge has been designed to satisfy the most difficult requirements in water treatment. By using the scientific principle of electropositive attraction/ capture, NanoCLEAR NASA-derived technology leads to a rapid and highly efficient adsorption of virtually all particle sizes. NanoCLEAR media has a high capacity for particles as large as tens of microns or as small as a few nanometers. Each NanoCLEAR filter cartridge exhibits a rating of 0.2µ – a rating typically associated with microporous membranes. Yet NanoCLEAR flow rates are hundreds of times greater than such membranes.
