Disruptor® technology for water bottles and backpacks
Disruptor® filter media offers an innovative alternative to traditional membranes. It can efficiently remove harmful contaminants, such as submicron particulates, organic acids, virus, bacteria, cysts, cell debris, and trace pharmaceuticals from water.
Its open media structure makes Disruptor® suitable for a wide range of applications, from pressurized water purification systems to gravity-flow applications. It can remove selected trace metals within specific pH ranges.
Highly adaptable for small personal hydration solutions, such as water bottles and backpacks, Disruptor® can function as a standalone alternative to polymeric membranes or complement other purification technologies. The media is easy to convert and can be manufactured into virtually any filter cartridge size.
Disruptor® filter media for personal use
-
Low pressure and no mechanical energy needed for the water purification process
-
No chemicals needed for the removal of contaminants from water
-
Contributes to the reduction of single-use plastic bottles
Why choose Disruptor®
Performance: Disruptor® captures a wider range of pathogens and contaminants than UF/Hollow fibers, carbon blocks, particulate cartridges and ultraviolet technologies such as bacteria/legionella, viruses, cyst, endotoxin, polysaccharides, colloids, trace pharmaceuticals, particulates among other pathogens. With a 1E5 -1E6 CFU/mL challenge concentration we can above 2000 liters/m2 capacity still reach Log 6 level LRV values for E-Coli which is equal to > 500,000,000,000 removed CFU of E-Coli per m².
Energy savings and sustainability: Disruptor® offers very high flux rates at lower pressure drops compared to competing technologies with similar biological removal performance.
Flexibility: Disruptor® can be used as a stand alone solution or in combination with other technologies depending on the level of water purification needs. It can be used in pleated configurations to fit any size filter housing, or in the format of die cut flat samples.
Product safety and taste: Disruptor® effectively captures pathogens and other contaminants, but in parallel maintaining the minerals for taste in the water without issues of handling “brine” waste water using RO systems. Compared to UF/hollow fibers Disruptor® does not block easily and filter remains odorless even if not used for several days. All Disruptor® grades are complying under NSF/ANSI 42 applicable drinking water requirements.
