Specialty Solutions

United Filters International Engineering Services provide rapid design and prototyping services for unique customer applications. We specialize in custom designs, short runs, and private labeling and packaging to support our customers’ new emerging market applications.

Specialty medias, cartridges and applications include:

• No Scale: This NSF 61-approved hexapolyphosphate media is available in all standard filter cartridges. This media inhibits continued corrosion and scale build-up in pipes and other wetted surfaces, as well as having the ability to remove existing scale. No Scale media will not break down under higher temperatures (can be used with temperatures up to 165ºF), making it an excellent choice for water heater, tankless water heater and boiler applications.
• Catalytic Carbon: Compatible with multi-stage water treatment systems, coconut shell catalytic carbon has the ability to absorb chloramines and hydrogen sulfide in potable water. Catalytic carbon can also reduce herbicides, pesticides and other organic compounds, making it an ideal media for treating multiple contaminants.
• Clay: This cost-effective media will absorb oil and other hydrocarbons in potable water treatment applications. It is highly effective in removing benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene and xylene to barely detectable levels. Granular clay is 700% more effective than granular carbon.
• Zeolite: Granular zeolite is a non-toxic, natural micro-porous, aluminosilicate mineral capable of absorbing heavy metals including: mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic, aluminum, tin and iron. Zeolite will also remove radioactive particles to include cesium and strontium-90 from soluble solutions.
• Ion Exchange Resin: This media is commonly used in the production of ultra-pure (de-ionized) water as a polishing stage for electronics industry wafer and microchip manufacturing.
• String, Melt Blown, and Pleated: Multi-layered string, pleated, and melt blown configurations (with or without carbon options) accommodate customers’ unique needs that include the following removal or reduction: submicron contaminants, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, organic compounds, particulates, sediment, and taste and odor reduction within a single filter cartridge.
• Activated Carbon Canisters: Bulk activated granular carbon is specially selected to maximize performance in gas processing applications where the target contaminant is a long chain of hydrocarbon molecules. These all-metal granular canisters are used extensively in natural gas exploration, and production and transport.
