Industrial Applications
Nature Works is an advanced solution for a wide range of industrial applications, standing out for its hygiene, filtration level, and resource savings like water and energy.
It is the only glass filter media in the world officially certified for the stringent NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 standard, for which it had to pass a series of 105 contaminant presence tests, and it has successfully done so thanks to its origin in recycled virgin glass. For this reason, and due to its precise calibration that delivers an outstanding filtration performance, it is the ideal glass for industrial operations where hygiene and performance are a priority.
Below are the main fields of application and the proven benefits it provides in each:
Water Treatment Plants
- Drinking water filtration: Our glass sand ensures maximum purity and water quality, eliminating particles and contaminants with superior efficiency, contributing to public safety and health.
- Wastewater treatment: It improves efficiency in the removal of contaminants and particles, optimizing system performance and meeting environmental standards.
Aquariums and Aquaculture
- Commercial and domestic aquariums: It ensures a healthy environment for marine life, guaranteeing water clarity and purity, essential for the well-being of aquatic organisms.
- Aquaculture facilities: It optimizes water quality, promoting the growth and health of aquatic organisms, resulting in more efficient and sustainable production.
- Food and beverage industry: Ensures high-quality filtered water for production, complying with strict sanitary regulations and enhancing the safety of the final product.
- Cooling processes: Improves efficiency and reduces operating costs in industrial cooling systems by keeping the microchannels of the filter media open and drastically reducing pressure loss.
- Side-stream filtration in cooling towers: Reduces sediment buildup and improves system efficiency, extending the life of equipment and lowering maintenance costs.
