Ahlstrom Disruptor®
Disruptor®*, an award winning technology
A new category of nonwoven media that filters water with the efficiency of a membrane but a higher flow rates and many times less pressure drop.
Ahlstrom Disruptor® is a commercially available product line of electroadsorptive filter media that improves water quality through a natural positive charge that is effective in both fresh and brackish water at removing submicron contaminants.
Technology
This innovative patented technology is based on attaching boehmite (AlOOH) fibers 2 nm in diameter x 250 nm in length onto a microglass structural fiber. The fibers create a highly elctropositve nonwoven filter media with a zeta potential of >50 milivolts at pH7.2. Disruptor® has excellent loading capacity due to the availability of more than 42,000 square meters of electropositive fiber surface area per square meter of filter media.
A wide range of very fine powders can be effectively retained by the electropositive fibers without the use of binders or adhesives that would occlude surface area. Disruptor® PAC contains 32% by weight powder activated carbon to improve the taste and odor of water by removing chlorine and humic compounds.
