AFM ng Grade 1 (Top Working Layer), 21 Kg

Product Description

What is AFM®?

AFM® is an inert, amorphous aluminosilicate (glass) manufactured by up-cycling post-consumer green and brown glass bottles.

AFM®Activated Filter Media is verified to at least double the performance of sand filters without the need for additional investments in infrastructure. AFM® is used for swimming pools, aquaria and aquaculture as well as water treatment applications - for treatment of various sources of water such as ground water, surface water, seawater and waste water.

Dryden Aqua has developed AFM® ng to remove organics and mi- croplastics from the water. Any non polar chemical will be more dif- ficult to dissolve into water and it will tend to float like oil, or be ad- sorbed on to a non polar hydrophobic surface.

Two different types of AFM® are produced in our factories: AFM®s (standard) and AFM®ng (next generation).

Both products are exposed to a unique 3-step activation process to become self-sterilising and to acquire superior filtration properties. During the activation, the structure and the chemistry of the glass is modified.

Organic matters are the precursor for the formation of Trihalometh- anes (THMs), including chloroform. Thanks to its large hydrophobic area and highly mesopourous structure, AFM® ng can filter much finer particles and approximately 50% more organic substances than sand. High filtration performance means less disinfectants are used, result- ing in healthier water and better air quality at lower costs
