Filtration+Separation September 2008

Air filter for maximum engine protection Donaldson Company has developed the Pulse Jet Air Cleaning (PJAC™) Ultra™ air cleaner.

filter is for use in military vehicles and applications operating in demanding environmental conditions.

The company says the selfcleaning air filter is designed for maximum engine protection, minimised filter element servicing, improved fuel economy and vehicle engine power. The

The PJAC cleans filter elements with short duration pulses of compressed air. According to Donaldson, this two-stage air filtration technology ensures engine protection and a longer life

cycle due to minimised filtration servicing with no scavenge required. The Donaldson PJAC Ultra is suitable for a variety of vehicles and applications, such as HMMWV, JLTV, tactical and armoured combat vehicles, retrofit opportunities and commercial vehicles. www.donaldson.com

Made-to-measure mesh air filters The Expanded Metal Company (EMC) has introduced a range of made-to-measure mesh air filters designed to meet the needs of a range of industry sectors, including agriculture, catering, chemicals, engineering, healthcare, HVAC, industrial processing and transport.

The units have been designed to provide high quality water for all laboratory applications and to ensure that pure water is on hand whenever needed. According to Anachem, the HF NW range provides Type 1 18.2 MW.cm water direct from a tap water feed and integral high flow rates as the reverse osmosis function produces up to 30 litres/h.

range of organic contaminants in groundwater, including 1,4dioxane, methyl tertiary butyl ether and pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Basin Water Inc says it is the only system of its kind with NSF 61 certification.

Four different versions of the NW series (basic, UV, UF or VF) allows users to choose the system that produces the quality of water required for the application. Anachem will service and carry out a programme of preventative maintenance on all laboratory water systems, which includes changing the cartridges.

Photocatalytic membrane system treats organic contaminants in drinking water

Known as Photo-CatT, the technology combines chemical-

The price increase will affect filtration grades produced by Ahlstrom globally and became effective from the beginning of August. The level of the increase will depend on the markets and the constituents of the products.

Anachem has launched the Anachem HF NW range of water purification systems.

According to the company, tests carried out confirm Filtafoil’s ability to remove up to 96% of grease from the airstream. This is based on a 50 mm panel at 2 m/second air velocity. A 25 mm panel will remove 94% contamination from the airstream.

Basin Water Inc has announced that it will begin to offer NSF 61 certified photocatalytic membrane systems to drinking water providers in the USA through its agreement with Purifics ES Inc.

Ahlstrom has announced price increases on filter media products, as a result of the continued rise of raw material prices and energy costs.

Water purification system for lab applications

EMC filters are available with frames and backing meshes constructed in stainless steel, aluminium, galvanised steel and tinplate, in thicknesses ranging from 7 mm to 50 mm. Standard infill options include the company’s Filtafoil®, which incorporates layers of aluminium arranged alternatively at right angles to each other. Other options include extra fine meshes, bondina, and galvanised and stainless steel.
