Mechanical and Sorption Filtration: Benefits and Applications

Mechanical and sorption filtration are effective methods for purifying water from various contaminants and impurities. In this article, we’ll look at the main benefits and applications of mechanical and sorption filtration in water purification systems.

Mechanical and sorption filtration

1. Combined purification: Mechanical and sorption filtration are combined in a single cartridge, which makes it possible to effectively remove various contaminants and impurities from water. Mechanical filtration is achieved by filtering through porous materials that trap large particles and sediment. Sorption filtration uses sorbents, such as activated carbon or special fibers, to absorb and retain chemical impurities and heavy metals.
2. Long service life: Cartridges with mechanical and sorption filtration have an increased content of AQUALEN™ fibers and gradient porosity down to 3 microns, which ensures an exceptionally long service life. This allows the filter to trap contaminants more effectively and extends the time between replacements.
3. Removal of harmful substances: The unique AQUALEN™ fiber with ion-exchange properties quickly and irreversibly retains harmful substances such as chlorine, rust, and heavy metals. This helps provide clean and safe drinking water.
4. Improved taste and quality: Mechanical and sorption filtration can remove unpleasant odors and tastes from water, making it more pleasant for drinking and for use in cooking. They also help improve the quality of tea and coffee, preserving their true taste and aroma.

Applications of mechanical and sorption filtration

1. Home use: Mechanical and sorption filtration are widely used in water purification systems for home use. They are installed under the sink or on the faucet, providing direct purification of the water before it is used. This makes it possible to get clean drinking water without needing to buy bottled water.
2. Commercial use: Mechanical and sorption filtration are also used in commercial establishments such as restaurants, cafés, hotels, and offices. They provide high-quality water for cooking, preparing beverages, and serving customers.
3. Industrial use: In industry, mechanical and sorption filtration are used to purify water from impurities and contaminants that can negatively affect production processes. This is especially important in the food and pharmaceutical industries, where high water quality is required.

Mechanical and sorption filtration
