In industrial environments, water quality is a critical factor that directly influences process efficiency, end product safety and operating costs. The presence of suspended solids, sediments, biofilm, or contaminants can lead to performance losses, equipment clogging, increased energy consumption, and more frequent maintenance. To meet these demands, our filter media offer advanced solutions specifically designed for industrial applications where effective, stable, and sustainable filtration is required.
The Nature Works filter media is made from high-purity virgin glass. It is NSF/ANSI/CAN 50 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 certified, making it suitable for both general industrial applications and those where water is in direct contact with food, beverages or processes requiring drinking water quality.
Its calibrated grain structure, with no sharp edges and free of free silica, prevents filter bed compaction and biofilm formation, ensuring stable operation and long service life even under demanding conditions.
NW40 is a filter media made from controlled-source recycled green glass, designed for industrial applications where drinking water certification is not required. It is NSF/ANSI/CAN 50 certified and offers excellent technical performance, with high solids retention capacity and very low pressure drop.
Thanks to its manufacturing process and Anti-Compaction® Technology, NW40 keeps the microchannels of the filter bed open for longer, reducing backwash frequency and operating costs. It is a solution particularly suitable for continuous industrial processes and cooling systems.
In the food and beverage industry, water quality is an essential requirement. Nature Works filter media, certified to NSF 50 and 61, guarantees high-quality filtered water for washing, production, formulation and cleaning processes, complying with the most demanding health regulations. Its use contributes to improving the safety of the final product and reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
In open or closed cooling circuits, the accumulation of solids and sediments can reduce thermal efficiency and increase energy consumption. Both Nature Works and NW40 improve the performance of these systems by keeping the microchannels of the filter media open, reducing pressure drop and optimising heat exchange. This translates into lower operating costs and greater system reliability.
Side-stream filtration is a key application for maintaining water quality in cooling towers. The use of glass filter media reduces sediment accumulation, minimises sludge formation and improves overall system efficiency. As a result, equipment life is extended, purges are reduced and maintenance costs are lowered.
Nature Works and NW40 glass filter media represent an advanced and reliable solution for filtration in industrial applications. Their high performance, low pressure drop, biofilm resistance and long service life make them a superior alternative to traditional filter media, helping industries optimise their processes, reduce costs and move towards more efficient and sustainable models.
Nature Works’ flagship product, glass filter media, is made exclusively from contaminant-free virgin glass, making it the only product that fully complies with the high quality and safety standards set by NSF/ANSI/CAN 61, the most stringent standard in the field of water filtration for human consumption.
