Anthracite Filtration Media

This anthracite is thoroughly selected from anthracite, which yields the highest percentage of carbon. It is then hydraulically classified to reduce mineral matter and ash to a minimum and finally screened and washed to ensure suitability for filtration purposes. Anthracite properties deflect water absorption, which facilitates nano-filtration. Its irregular shape allows a free water flow, with a higher flow and less pressure drop than sand alone.

It is perfect for use in water filtration systems. It is often used with sand as one of the most efficient ways to restore water for drinking or use.

Sustainable Qualities

Anthracite Filtration Media is considered sustainable because it is a natural, low-cost, and environmentally friendly solution for water treatment and filtration. Anthracite is a particularly hard type of coal with a high Carbon content, making it an effective filtration media for removing impurities and contaminants from water. Unlike synthetic filtration media, anthracite is a readily available natural resource, and it can be reused and recycled in a variety of applications, contributing to a circular economy. Additionally, Anthracite Filtration Media is an energy-efficient option for water treatment, as it requires minimal energy to operate and does not produce harmful byproducts or waste.

View Open Cell Metal Foam
Open Cell Metal Foam
Open cell metal foam, also known as reticulated foam, features 100% open cells with a homogenous structure. The open cells provide a path through the foam in any direction, allowing gas and liquids to pass at control flow rates and buffer pressure. Open foams have high surface area-to-volume ratios which offer large heat transfer rates. They are lightweight, with high compressive strength, stiffness, energy absorption, and low specific weight. Specific properties and applications vary based on foam material. The most popular open-cell metal foam products are Aluminum and RVC foam.
View Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are tubes made of carbon atoms with nanometer diameters. Reade supplies a variety of carbon nanotubes. While many specific properties of CNTs are type dependent, in general, carbon nanotubes have high electrical conductivity. They have good thermal conductivity along the tube axis that is comparable to diamonds while exhibiting elastic, flexible, stiff, tough, and strong fibers while maintaining the chemistry of carbon molecules and being free of molecular defects. This carbon chemistry allows strong Van der Waals attraction which leads to spontaneous self-assembly and roping of many nanotubes, which may be important in certain applications. Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) are an intermediary allotrope of carbon between fullerene cages and flat graphene. Double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNT) are similar to SWNT but are more resistant to chemical attacks. Multi-wall carbon nanotubes consist of multiple rolled layers of graphene. Dry powder form and dispersions available.

Aluminum metal foam is a fully customizable rigid, opened pore three-dimensional network of interconnected solid aluminum ligaments. The aluminum foam has a high strength-to-weight ratio, strong compression strength, and a high surface area per unit volume.
View Hemp Fiber
Hemp Fiber
Hemp Fiber (Bast Fiber) is a high-yield commercial fiber crop that grows from seed. Hemp stalks are harvested for their fibers and grow on the outside of the plant’s stalk, similar to the bark of a tree. Hemp fibers are advantageous as they are flexible, have low density and abrasiveness, and have mechanical properties comparable to glass fiber. There is also quantitative and qualitative homogeneity from one harvest to the next. Degummed Hemp Fiber is processed to remove lignin and pectin, so separated fibers are finer, softer, and more absorbent. Size ranges from ½ inch to 5 inches. Hemp Hurd is derived from the core of the hemp stalks and is also referred to as hemp shives. It looks similar to wood chips. It is porous and absorbent and naturally resistant to mold and bacteria. Raw Long Hemp Fiber is right from the stalk, non-processed, and uncombed with slight separation of fibers. Fibers range from 24 to 72 inches. Combed Hemp Fiber, also known as plumber's hemp, is untwisted and combed. Fiber length ranges from 4-5 inches long.
