H&V provides advanced filtration solutions to create a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable world.
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
Transportation 
Liquid 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:
Here is a closer look at the specific aspects of the air filtration and liquid filtration processes.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hollingsworth & Vose offers advanced filtration media for process liquids:
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.
H&V additionally offers liquid filtration leveraging:
Products range from 1 to 50 micron.
There are numerous benefits of quality air and water filtration solutions, such as:
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.
