Filtration

A new study published in Nature Nanotechnology proposes a novel nanotechnology-based strategy to improve water filtration

Together, unsafe drinking water and the inadequate supply of water for hygiene purposes contribute to almost 90% of all deaths from diarrheal diseases -- and effective water sanitation interventions are still challenging scientists and engineers.

Simple water filtration system, invented by three National University of Singapore students

The bag, called Fieldtrate Lite, filters dirty water, such as river water, through a membrane and turns it into potable water in the same time it would take to run it from the tap.

It is the brainchild of Singapore start-up WateROAM, which designs portable water filtration systems for use in disaster relief operations or among rural communities without access to clean water.

The world’s largest compressible media filtration (CMF) facility, located in Springfield, Ohio, was recently completed, and it will help eliminate untreated wet-weather overflows – a significant issue facing many water utilities worldwide

A 119-year-old Wisconsin company has introduced a water purification device that's roughly the size of a cellphone and can disinfect up to 20 liters of water at a time to make it safe for drinking

Powered by a rechargeable battery, with a solar-panel backup, it utilizes a brine solution (salt and water) to create a mixed-oxidant disinfectant capable of purifying dirty water, according to the company, now based in Jackson.

Mobile reverse osmosis pool water cleaning service

If you need to clean your pool but want to be water conscious, "Clean Water Solutions" mobile reverse osmosis water filtration system might be what you're looking for.

Doug Kerber, owner of "Clean Water Solutions" said, "instead of draining the pools and losing all 20,000 gallons or however big the pool is we actually suck the water up through the machine, clean the water through reverse osmosis, and send it back to the pool."

Porvair Filtration Group has added an enhanced range of microbial rated disposable cartridge filters to its range of liquid filters

Biofil™ R cartridges are an addition to the Biofil™ polyethersulphone Food Safety and USP Class IV approved range of filters, and feature a novel technology which renders the product super-hydrophilic.

Potable Aqua® releases the smallest, most cost-effective water purification device to date

Engineers from the US and Saudi Arabia have found a way to repair leaky holes in atom-thick graphene membranes, potentially paving the way for use to quickly purify high volumes of water

Nun brings filters for clean water to world

She's a nun without a convent or a habit, but Sister Larraine Lauter is surely on a mission from God.

As the executive director — and only full-time employee — of Water with Blessings, she's a ferocious advocate for getting clean water into the hands of mothers and children in impoverished countries across the world.
