Applications
Since the principal application of NanoCeram filters is based on their ability to remove viruses and fine colloidal particulates from water it has many potential applications in water purification. For example;
Municipal - Although municipal water is monitored for bacterial contamination on a routine basis, viruses are not monitored and there are no regulations for their removal. This is primarily due to the difficulty in monitoring for specific virus contamination. NanoCeram filters can be used for sampling viruses, allowing for a more routine analysis of municipal water treatment plant sources and effluents. This application presents significant benefits, since Hepatitis A and Norwalk virus epidemics have been waterborne on numerous occasions. Recent studies have shown that viruses can percolate far further underground than bacteria and can contaminate ground water supplies as a result.
Consumers - NanoCeram can be used to filter viruses and other hard to remove particulates from water at the point of entry and use. Adding a NanoCeram polishing filter to the otuflow of an existing filtration device will transform a standard filtration system in one that is capable of removing >99.99% of water borne viruses. As the prevelance of recycled grey and sewage water increases throughout the world NanoCeram Pac® has a special role to play in protecting consumers from harmful endocrine disruptors, hormones and drugs that can be found in recycled water supplies.
