Ahlstrom Introduces a New Range of Filtration Materials
Ahlstrom is leading the marketplace towards more sustainable, fluoro-free solutions for fiber-based solutions. This week, Ahlstrom extended its innovative fluoro-free technologies into a wide range of industrial air filtration applications to support filter manufacturers in creating products with long-lasting filtration performance without the use of fluorochemicals.
Ahlstrom’s new fluoro-free filtration materials are ideal for gas turbine air intake, air pollution control, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) applications. The new range of materials offers water-repellent properties, which increase the durability and stability of the final filter in wet conditions. In global filtration markets, hydrophobic properties are essential to maintaining the highest filtration performance in challenging environments.
In air pollution control applications, for example, hydrophobic materials save energy by limiting the pressure drop increase in humid conditions. Specifically, in gas turbine applications, water repellency prevents liquid water ingress and dissolved salt penetration through a filter, protecting the turbine from corrosion.

Asahi Kasei Launches Membrane System to Produce Water for Injection
In April 2024, Asahi Kasei began selling a membrane system to produce WFI (water for injection), a type of sterile water that is used for the preparation of injections. The membrane system was developed as an alternative to the conventional distillation processes for the production of WFI by leveraging system design and development capabilities of Microza™ hollow-fiber membrane for water treatment and filtration of liquid products. By reducing the need to generate steam, this system enables lower CO2 emissions and lower costs in the production of WFI.
With its Microza™ hollow-fiber membrane, Asahi Kasei has provided membrane filtration solutions in a wide range of fields including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food processing, environmental protection, and water treatment. Pharmaceutical water, which is used in the pharmaceutical manufacturing process, is one application in which Microza™ has gained a strong reputation among customers for its high filtration performance and outstanding technical support.
The WFI membrane system is based on steam-sterilizable ultrafiltration (UF) membranes for water treatment that have been widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. Being designed by the membrane manufacturer, the system features a compact form and excellent operability. It offers various advantages compared to the conventional distillation processes, such as a reduced need to generate steam, resulting in lower CO2 emissions and energy costs. It also offers a simplified process with no need for cooling and condensing steam, and enables higher water quality to be obtained. Previously published research with the same membranes (Steam Sterilizable UF Module & SystemOpen new window) indicates an endotoxin removal rate of >99.999% compared to 99.9% with distillation.
By facilitating a transition from the traditional distillation processes to the membrane filtration processes, Asahi Kasei expects that the new system will allow its customers to reduce CO2 emissions while producing a stable supply of safer WFI for the pharmaceutical industry.

Water Systems Warn Americans of Major Rate Fikes to Filter out PFAS
In exchange for cleaner water, Americans around the nation may soon have to pay hefty prices, writes The Hill.
Water systems are starting to warn residents of massive rate hikes as they prepare to install technology to filter out toxic chemicals in a family known as PFAS.
Utilities from South Florida to upstate New York have warned customers that they could see significant price increases after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandated that they remove the substances, which have been linked to a number of cancers and other diseases, from their systems.
Last month, the EPA said it will require utilities whose water systems contain high levels of six types of PFAS to remove them from the water.
PFAS, which stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of thousands of chemicals that have been used to make a variety of nonstick and waterproof products and firefighting foam.
The substances have also become ubiquitous in the environment, due in part to the fact that they tend to persist for a long time instead of breaking down.
Exposure to these so-called forever chemicals has been linked to increased risks certain cancers, weakened immune systems, high cholesterol, and developmental issues in children.
Adsorbi Launches Cellulose-Based Air Purification Material for the Art Industry
Adsorbi AB, a research-based startup originating from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, announced the launch of its first commercial product: a cellulose-based material that protects artwork and sensitive objects from degradation by air pollutants. The adsorbing material combines a long product lifetime with high security, making it ideal for museums and archives.
Currently, air pollution in museums is either ignored or the adsorbent activated carbon is used. The problem with using carbon in this environment is its short product lifetime and the risk of staining objects in collections.
Adsorbi’s material is a bio-based and high-performing adsorbent. The cellulose originates from Nordic forests and the production is in Europe. The material is used to purify air in the storage and transportation of artwork, surpassing activated carbon in terms of durability and adsorption capacity. Other important features include the material’s color indicator: the white material changes color when it needs to be replaced, enabling optimized air purification.
Schiphol Tests Innovative Device to Filter Air on the Apron
Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam is working to improve the air quality around the airport by installing an innovative air filtration system on the apron. The apron of an airport is perhaps the noisiest and most polluted place to work. The airport authority is working to change this through a pilot study using an air filtration system to reduce ultrafine particles on the airport’s apron.
The innovative air filtration system will be installed next to Pier D and is one of the ways in which the airport is working to improve the working conditions for their airport workers.
The air filtration device has been developed by Van Wees Innovations and creates airflows that ensure ultrafine particles clump together to form larger particles that can then be filtered. During this pilot on the apron, the airport will be investigating whether this machine also works indoors.
Last year, Schiphol conducted a successful pilot with this device at a fire station next to the runways. The device cleaned the air almost fully. However, because the building is in use 24 hours a day, with windows and doors being opened, the reduction during the trial came to an average of 75%.
