TripleClear Force Field TM

Filters

Submicron Depth Filtration Series The Triple Clear Force Field™ Submicron Depth Filtration Series uses a proprietary, patented, electroadsorptive media technology capable of removing submicron pathogens and inorganic contaminants through electro-adhesion and ion exchange. This technology makes it possible for a nonwoven media to produce filtration efficiency comparable to ultra membrane filtration, but at very low pressure drop. Force Field™ will work equally well in fresh, brackish, or salt water due to its high flow rates and high loading capacity. The media consists of coated micro-glass fibers produced using a wet laid nonwoven manufacturing technology. The base media is laminated between layers of spun-bond to provide both strength and pleat support. The media in the Force Field™ Filter is NSF 61-approved (Drinking Water System Components - Health Effects), and USP Class VI testing and endotoxin testing. The resulting filters have the ability to remove virus, bacteria, cyst, trace pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, RNA, DNA, VOC’s, organic acids, and cellular debris with almost no pressure drop, and no need for chemical treatment. Perfect for potable water applications, water re-use, reducing RO membrane biofouling, HVAC legionella protection, biofilm reduction, and securing the safety of stored water. Unlike any other filter on the market, Triple Clear’s Force Field TM Filters solve water challenges simply and effectively.

FIG.1: Shown above are three, 0.65 micron microglass fibers coated with alumina that form a pore approx 3 x 2 microns in size. Such a large pore allows for high flow rate at very low pressure drop but as a mechanical filter, has only about 2-3 micron initial efficiency. There are approximately 400 such pore structure layers in the Force Field TM Filter media to produce an excellent depth filtration media.

FIG. 2: When exposed to water between pH 5 – 9.5, a charge potential is generated by the natural crystal structure of the alumina fibers. The resulting charge field radiates to a maximum distance of 1-micron from the fibers as represented by the red shaded area. Expressed as streaming zeta potential, the charge field of Force Field TM Filters have been consistently measured as greater than 53 millivolts at pH 7.2.

FIG.3: Force Field™ has been specifically engineered to have an average pore size of 2 microns and a mean flow pore of 0.7 microns. This allows the charge field created by the alumina fibers to effect the total volume of the individual pores as well as virtually the entire void volume of the filter media itself! 1-micron Force Field TM Filter media has more than 400 individual pores making up the average sheet thickness of 0.8 mm. Contaminants are removed by being exposed to a torturous path through the media, depth and the powerful electropositive charge field generated by the alumina fibers.

FIGURES 1-3 above represent magnified views of the Force Field TM Filter media, and the processes of what takes place during the electrical charge created by the alumina fibers (from natural boehmite).

How Does the Force Field TM

Filter Work?

WITH FORCE FIELD TM FILTER – even if there is a “hole” or “pore” in the media that would seem big enough to let a virus or particle pass – it does not pass. There is an electropositive + charge to the Triple Clear Force Field TM Filter media that electrically attracts and bonds to viruses and particles. Water molecules have 10 protons and 10 electrons, so as a whole they are neutral and pass freely through the media. Viruses contain DNA or RNA which is negatively charged because of the phosphate ions that make up the chemical backbone. The positive charge of the Force Field TM Filter attracts the viruses’ negative charge and holds them in place in the Triple Clear Force Field TM Filter media. Force Field TM Filter nanofibers are shown at right. With Force Field TM Filter about half the atoms of the fiber are on the surface of the fiber itself. At the atomic level, unique things can occur. Based on the crystaline 1 properties of the mineral pseudoboehmite 2 , AIO(OH) active fibers are 2 nanometers in diameter by 250 nanometers in length. The small size of the AIO(OH) fibers allows Triple Clear technology to operate on the atomic level.

Pseudoboehmite at Crystal Structural Level This image to the right is a representation of the crystal structure of the mineral pseudoboehmite, AIO(OH) - the active ingredient in Force Field TM Filter. The bonds holding the crystal together “relax” when exposed to water. When the bonds relax, some of the electrical energy that was used to hold the mineral structure together will radiate out about 1 micron from the fibers. This positive charge is what adsorbs contaminants having a negative charge as they approach the pores. Force Field TM Filter has been designed so the pores are 1.75 micron in size, thus the entire void volume of the Triple Clear Force Field TM Filter media is energized by the charge generated.

1 Crystalline: In a crystal the atoms are arranged in a regular periodic manner. 2 Pseudoboehmite is an aluminum oxide hydroxide compound with chemical composition AIO(OH).

Triple Clear filters have been tested by an independent, certified laboratory using accepted test methods for the reduction of pathogens using filtration devices. The industry established test methods define the contaminants, their concentration, and how the test should be conducted. The challenge solution used in testing the Triple Clear filter contained virus concentration of 3.65 x 105 (3,650,000 virus) per milliliter of water. Bacteria concentration was 3.45 x 105 (3,450,000 bacteria) per milliliter of water. This would be a total of 70.5 TRILLION pathogens in a liter of water! To help put this number into perspective, it would be similar to the discharge of a municipal sewage treatment plant or that of a highly polluted river such as the Ganges. It is unlikely that any of us will be using water this contaminated as a source. Total pathogen load from a “typical” mountain stream may be as high a 1.0 x 102 per milliliter or 100,000 per liter of water or 70,000 times less concentrated than the defined test solution. Although if you are in a situation where you must use water from a questionable source, Triple Clear Filters will produce many liters of safe water. The Triple Clear filter acts both as a particulate filter and as an electroadsorbent filter. Depending on the laboratory test method the Triple Clear media can be plugged with pure solutions of humic acid, bacteria or particulates to the point where water will no longer flow through the media under normal operating pressure of the device. Triple Clear will also adsorb dissolved contaminants such as lead, cadmium, iron, certain forms of arsenic, zinc and others that pass through hollow fiber and other mechanical filters. In the real world no water stream is “pure”. All waters contain some mix of contamination that will eventually cause any filter to fail to reduce one contaminant or the other. This is why Triple Clear has designed a family of filters to allow the user to select the best combination of

POWERFUL enough to remove: 99.9999% of Bacteria;

Electroadsorptive technology for water purification and filtration Our media removes a wide range of submicron particulates, pathogens, trace pharmaceuticals and cellular debris with its naturally occurring electropositive charge. Force Field TM is specifically engineered to have this charge field cover the entire depth and void volume of the media. By accomplishing submicron “filtration” with a charge field rather than with mechanical pores our filters have just a fraction of the pressure drop, and many times the flow rate, when compared to ultrafiltration membranes having similar efficacy. Performance Independent testing has shown reduction of the MS2 virus at greater than 99.99%. We can also remove a wide range of bacteria at greater than 99.9999% including; E. coli, Pseudomonas and Legionella. Removal of 3 micron spheres (as a surrogate for cryptosporidium) is greater than 99.95% efficiency. Our filters are proven to remove certain species of colloidal metals, hazardous compounds such as PCB’s and trace pharmaceuticals including BPA, a known hormone inhibitor. University testing has shown Force Field’s combination of electroadsorption and depth filtration to effectively reduce low molecular weight organic acids and polysaccharides from fresh, brackish, and salt water. These organic materials are considered the main cause of fouling for hollow fiber and RO membranes. In other words, our filters are much harder to clog!

Independent testing has shown Force Field TM Filter to reduce MS2 virus at greater than 99.99%! It can remove a wide range of bacteria at greater than 99.9999% including; E. coli, Pseudomonas and Legionella.

Force Field TM has also been proven to remove certain species of colloidal metals, hazardous compounds such as PCB’s, and trace pharmaceuticals including BPH, a known hormone inhibitor.

In layman’s terms, all filters have holes that allow water to pass through. If you make the holes small enough, the good stuff can pass through, but the bad stuff (like viruses and bacteria) cannot because they are larger than the water molecules. The problem is, small holes slow water flow and clog easily. Our technology uses science to essentially create a “force field” over the holes in the filter. This “force field” has the ability to keep out bad stuff, but has no effect on good stuff. This allows for our filters to have bigger holes, allowing for better flow and massively decreased maintenance, while still being incredibly effective at stopping bacteria and viruses from passing through.

Triple Clear Force Field™ PAC Our PAC filters also contains powdered activated carbon (PAC) with an average particle size of only 8 microns. Activated carbon at this particle size has a very high pore size to weight ratio which produces remarkably high dynamic adsorption. We use no adhesives or binders to retain the carbon, therefore significantly more active sites remain available for adsorption of chlorine, iodine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), disinfection by- products (DPBs) and organic acids from water. Triple Clear Force Field™ with Silver Since it is naturally non-toxic, Force Field TM is effective in removing bacteria from water, but does not deactivate the retained bacteria. For applications that require growth inhibition of bacteria retained by the media, all Force Field TM Filters are available with a silver treatment certified safe for use in potable water. Triple Clear Force Field™ High Flow High Flow is an exciting addition to our family of filter media. High Flow was designed with a large pore volume that is not totally covered by the boehmite charge field. This feature reduces the efficiency of the media but increases its capacity for colloid, particulate and organic acid loading. When High Flow is used as a prefilter to our standard Force Field TM Filter grades in more turbid waters the life and efficiency of the two-layers significantly outperforms a single layer filter. High Flow can also be used as a stand-alone filter when high levels of organic contaminants must be removed, such as to protect reverse osmosis membranes from biofouling.

Antimicrobial Statement about Force Field TM Filter Products

Legionella Removal Capability The electroabsorbtive properties of Force Field TM Filters allow it to remove a variety of contaminants from water including biological contaminants like Legionella pneumophila. Legionella pneumophila is a pathogenic bacterium commonly present in many residential, commercial and industrial systems such as cooling towers and hot water systems. It is transmitted as an aerosol and when aspirated by people having compromised immune systems can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a respiratory infection that causes pneumonia. Transmission of the Legionella pneumophila bacterium can be of great concern in hospitals and nursing homes where patients are more susceptible to infections. Applications Force Field TM Filters can be used as Point of Entry (POE) filters to reduce the amount of Legionella pneumophila entering a building. Point of Use (POU) filters can be designed and certified for use on showers or other water outlets. Such filters would be of particular interest in locations with immunocompromised people such as hospitals and nursing homes. Legionella outbreaks are also associated with cooling towers, car washes, and public fountains. Force Field TM Filters that remove Legionella pneumophila can be used in conjunction with other sanitization treatments to inhibit growth of the bacterium in all such water systems.

Force Field TM Filters Remove Lead in Water to Safe Levels

Lead is a toxic metal that is harmful to human health; there is NO safe level of Lead exposure. The primary route for lead poisoning in drinking water is not contamination of water by leaded fuels, old batteries or some hazardous waste site. The primary route is the distribution system used to carry water to your home, and even the plumbing within your home or building. This problem has become nearly epidemic in proportion due to the crumbling of our nation’s infrastructure. Prior to 2014, the legal definition for “lead free” was plumbing fixtures with a lead content of less than 8 %. In 2014, the term was redefined to include only fixtures with a lead content of 0.25% and newly installed fixtures must use the “lead free” materials–but this did not apply to fixtures currently in use! Therefore, if your building was constructed even as recently as 2014, your pipes could contain up to 32 times the allowable lead levels. Even worse, much of the municipal piping that is getting the water to your building is decades old and these pipes, in many cases, are comprised or have components that are largely comprised of lead. Today the issue is so widespread that at least 4 million households with children living in them are being exposed to high levels of lead. There are approximately half a million U.S. children ages 1-5 with blood lead levels above 5 micrograms per deciliter (g/dL), the reference level at which CDC recommends public health actions be initiated. Don’t take chances with your water. Upgrade to Triple Clear today!

PROTECT YOUR WATER SUPPLY FROM HARMFUL LEAD CONTAMINATION

Heavy metals in drinking water are a serious concern due to the adverse health effects that are associated with them. In order to determine if Triple Clear’s patented Force Field TM Filter media could address this issue, a panel of heavy metals was chosen for testing and analysis by independent third party labs. Based on customer requests and market trends for claims in drinking water filtration, it was decided that testing would be conducted for arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium VI, copper, iron, lead, selenium and silver. The metals spike was purchased from CPI International and analysis of filtrate was provided by TestAmerica in Tampa, FL. Filtering of the spike through the media was carried out by BCS Laboratories in Gainesville, FL. The results of this testing show that both the Force Field TM Filter with silver, and the Force Field TM Filter with silver and carbon infused significantly reduced chromium VI, Copper, Iron, Lead and Selenium in water.

Hot Water Storage Safety Systems

Protecting the health and safety of tenants and guests is the #1 job for any building owner and operator. Adding a Triple Clear System to the effluent side of your hot water storage tanks ensures that no Legionella enters your water supply from your storage tanks. Today, most hot water is stored at 140º to inhibit Legionella growth. Then, immediately upon exiting the tank it has to be mixed with cold water to avoid scalding and meet code. That means you waste money and energy to heat and store water at 20º higher than needed just to cool it immediately on exit. To make matters worse, 140º does not kill Legionella, it merely inhibits its growth. It starts growing again as soon as it is mixed with cold water. A Triple Clear System will remove 99.999% of Legionella from water using no chemicals and no electricity. Furthermore we remove system-clogging grit and other potentially dangerous microbiologicals, heavy metals like lead, and the cellular debris that cause efficiency-sapping biofilms.

Metals Removal by Force Field TM

Filters

Introduction Heavy metals in drinking water are a serious concern due to the adverse health effects that are associated with them. Exposure to these contaminants can cause issues ranging from skin irritation to kidney damage as well as an increased chance of autoimmune dysfunction and even death in extreme cases. In order to determine if Force Field TM Filter media could address this issue, a panel of heavy metals was chosen for testing. Based on customer requests and market trends for claims in drinking water filtration, it was decided that testing would be conducted for arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium VI, copper, iron, lead, selenium and silver. The results of this testing show that both the white and carbon Force Field TM Filter media significantly reduced chromium VI, copper, iron, lead and selenium from water. Materials and Methods All testing was conducted on 90mm flat sheet disc samples with an effective surface area of 4,415.6mm2 (0.0044m2) or 0.0475ft2. Both Force Field TM Filter with Silver and Force Field TM Filter with Carbon and Silver have an approximate basis weight of 313 gsm, so the samples used were approximately 1.38 grams each.

Testing and analysis was conducted through third party labs. The metals spike was purchased from CPI International and analysis of filtrate was provided by TestAmerica in Tampa, FL. Filtering of the spike through the media was carried out by BCS Laboratories in Gainesville, FL. Note: All metals provided were in their most predominant form and dissolved by CPI into their standard solution. The only exception was the chromium which was specially requested to be the chromium +6 species.

Initial pH: 5.65, adjusted to: 6.78 by: 1N NaOH approximate Volume: 2ml Lot: 111913 Test: Heavy metals: Arsenic, Barium, Cadmium, Chromium +6, Copper, Iron, Lead, Selenium, and Silver. Samples sent to TestAmerica Tampa for analysis. Other: 60ml CPI Heavy Metal Spike 1000ppm (lot: 14H027), 0.16 grams copper sulfate pentahydrate (lot: E4265A1) Study date:11/4/2014, start: 12:00 Samples were taken at 1L, 10L, and 15L 60ml CPI Heavy Metal Spike 1000ppm (lot: 14H027), 0.16 grams copper sulfate pentahydrate (lot: E4265A1) was added to 35 Gallons of Reagent Laboratory Grade water (RO). The water was homogenized and pH was adjusted to 6.0 +/- 0.5, and an influent sample was collected for analysis. Filters were cut out and secured into metal filter holders. The challenge water was then passed through each of the filters. Peristaltic pumps were set at 140 ml/min and flow rate was measured to be 130-135 ml/min. Samples were taken at 1L, 10L and at 15L. Pressure began to increase dramatically from 1L to 10L. At 1L pressure was measured at an average of 1.4 psi, at 10L pressure spiked to 14.0 psi. Study was discontinued at 15L because pressure of system surpassed 20.0 psi. Flow rate and pressure for the volume collected was recorded by validated measuring devices. Filters’ influent and effluent samples were sent out to TestAmerica Tampa for analysis. All analysis was conducted, at minimum, in duplicates. Data Table 1. Metals that were significantly reduced by Force Field TM Filter media and the percent reduction at the terminal sample point (15 Liters).

Total

Discussion Chromium VI, copper, iron, lead and seleniumwere all significantly reduced when filtered through both Force Field TM Filter grades (Table 1). In fact, the chromium VI, copper, iron and lead were analyzed for but not detected during analysis. The percent reduction values were calculated using the detection limit as the effluent concentration. It is possible that the reduction percentage values for these metals were even higher than reported here (Figure 1, 2). The Force Field TM Filter media was only able to reduce arsenic, barium, cadmium, and silver by less than 20% at the terminal sample point. The testing was concluded at 15 Liters due to increased pressure within the system, which surpassed 20 psi. This pressure increase was likely due to plugging of the filter from retention of the metals in the spike solution. There was a total of 3.44mg/L of metals being filtered through the media for 15 Liters or a total of 51mg of metals. Each sample was approximately 1.38 grams. Table 2 shows and estimation of the reduction of each metal that would be expected by the media in terms of the area by weight. NOTE: For the metals that were removed significantly, the total volume filtered could have been higher had the material not been plugging. It is unclear if plugging was due to all of the metals or if only certain ones were causing the plugging. It is possible that the total volume filtered and/or milligrams removed could be greater, for the successfully reduced metals, if each metal were filtered individually. However this would be neither time nor cost effective to carry out.
