  • Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
  • Industrial
  • Mechanical Power
  • Process liquids
  • Respiratory & Medical
  • Transportation

H&V provides advanced filtration solutions to create a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable world.

How Can Filtration Be Used in Everyday Life?

Filtration is an important aspect of life at home and work. Some ways we use filters in everyday life, which H&V enables, include:

HVAC SystemsHVAC Systems HVAC
Systems
TransportationTransportation Transportation
LiquidLiquid Liquid

Commercial and residential HVAC systems use air filters to reduce allergens, smoke, pet dander, dust, and other pollutants circulating throughout homes or buildings.

Passenger and commercial vehicles leverage filtration for the combustion engine, oil, diesel fuel, transmission fluid, and increasingly more the cabin air for passenger health.

Filtration is commonly found in point of use water applications, food and beverage, or bioprocessing.

How Does the Filtration Process Work?

The filtration process—whether for air or liquids—uses a filter media to prevent unwanted particles from passing through. The four components of any filtration system include:

  1. Filter media
  2. Filter (mechanical device) that holds the filter media and contains the process media
  3. Air containing pollutants or a fluid with suspended particles
  4. Force to cause the process media to flow, such as gravity or pressure

Here is a closer look at the specific aspects of the air filtration and liquid filtration processes.

Air Filtration Process

Effective air filtration keeps homes and businesses free from contaminants. While there are many different types of air filtration systems, they all use some type of filter media to remove unwanted particles and improve indoor air quality (IAQ). Air purifiers and filters capture polluted air, move it through a series of filters that separate airborne particles and contaminants, and distribute clean air to the room. Air filter solutions also encompass filter media used in personal protective equipment.

The following are several of H&V’s advanced air filter media:

  • Technostat®

    This electret filter media captures very small particles with very low pressure drop. This filter media maximizes value in space-constrained applications, such as medical ventilators, CPAP machines, and HVAC systems.

  • NanoWave®

    The NanoWave® features an extended filtration surface area and multi-layered structure that offers superior dust-holding capabilities and lower pressure drop compared to traditional filter media. It is often used in the HVAC systems of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to improve IAQ and minimize energy consumption.

  • Nanoweb®

    This multi-layer, fine fiber synthetic filter media provides high-efficiency filtration with minimal air resistance. Nanoweb® technology benefits customers with a low total cost of ownership for their gas turbine, HVAC, cleanroom, cabin air, appliances, and other applications.

    Learn More…

  • AlphaPerm®

    AlphaPerm® is a 100% synthetic meltblown filter media that provides high-efficiency filtration with 40% lower resistance than conventional meltblown filter media. This filter media is often used in N95 respirators, cabin air filters, HVAC systems, and appliances.

Liquid Filtration Process

Hollingsworth & Vose offers advanced filtration media for process liquids:

Trupor®

Our advanced Trupor™ filter media leverages Nylon, PES-PBT, or PVDF-PBT technology. Trupor® provides microfiltration for bioprocessing, food and beverage, and water. Installed upstream of more sensitive UF, NF, and RO steps, Trupor® enables high-speed microfiltration. This family of products is available in various polymers and traditional MF grades: 0.20 micron, 0.45 micron, and 0.65 micron.

Other Liquid Filtration

H&V additionally offers liquid filtration leveraging:

  • Cellulose
  • Glass
  • Meltblown Technology

Products range from 1 to 50 micron.

Why Is Filtration Important for Air Quality and Water Treatment?

There are numerous benefits of quality air and water filtration solutions, such as:

  • Keeping air and water clean and safe for consumption
  • Reducing the risk of illnesses related to exposure to bacteria, pollutants, and other contaminants
  • Extending the life of HVAC systems by keeping debris and dust away from coils and condensers
  • Improving workplace productivity, compared to workplaces with poor air quality
  • Creating a controlled environment free from contaminants for sensitive operations, laboratories, and/or healthcare facilities

Improving air quality is essential for the health and safety of building occupants, as air filtration does more than protect HVAC systems from debris and particle buildup. Air filter solutions help remove harmful airborne particles, such as dust, smoke, smog, mold, bacteria, pollen, and other allergens.

Since water is essential to our daily lives, having clean water is necessary for people’s health and safety. The risk of impure water can cause numerous health-related issues and diseases. Water treatment facilities depend on proper water filtration systems to remove contaminants before the water reaches consumers’ taps.
