Liquidity nanofiber 0.2 µm membrane
Liquidity purification cartridge for the PATH C1
Safe water for households anywhere.
Liquidity Nanotech Corporation’s water purification cartridge for the PATH C1 counter-top embodiment has superior flow rate, microbiological retention, and ease of use. It meets the U.S. EPA standard for microbial reduction. Liquidity’s revolutionary 0.2 µm equivalent electro-spun nano-fiber membrane creates a cartridge with dramatically higher flow rates than other filtration, while still achieving the highest purification standards. The high flow rate, about a cup per minute, dramatically improves the user experience. Moreover, as the cartridge is a mechanical filter, it has a safe end of life and will not allow bacteria and protozoa to pass at any time.
This cartridge is ideally suited for domestic use in off-grid environments or where electricity or water pressure is unreliable. Liquidity has taken advantage of the “open source” water purifier embodiment offered by the international health organization, PATH. Originally designed by PATH via a grant from the Gates Foundation, the PATH C1 counter-top water purifier embodiment is an attractive low-cost in-home product. Liquidity has customized our revolutionary filtration technology to fit this system.
Features and Benefits
Effective
- Achieves EPA standard microbiological removal performance at gravity-pressure: 6-log bacteria reduction, 4-log virus reduction and 6-log cyst reduction
- Complies with WHO criteria for highly protective
- Complies with US EPA drinking water standards
- Does not use chemicals (chlorine, iodine, bromine) in any way
- Award winning technology
User friendly
- The most practical, user friendly gravity-fed water purifier available
- High flow rate – get a cup of water in about 1 minute. Unique nano-fiber membrane creates much higher flow compared to existing technologies
- Does not require batteries, electricity or water pressure and has no moving parts
- Very little maintenance. Comes with disposable pre-filter wraps that are typically replaced every 1 to 2 months to extend life of system
- No back-flushing required, as is common with hollow-fiber based devices
- Up to 1500 liter capacity per cartridge in standard water conditions – sufficient for ~6 months of usage for a household
- 250 -150 ml/min depending on water head height
- Easy to install replacement cartridge
Safe
- Safe end of life – always produces potable water. The product functions until the membrane becomes blocked, shutting off the flow of water through the filter
- All materials meet US FDA food grade standards
How it works
Liquidity Nanotech Corporation’s water purification cartridge uses the revolutionary nano-fiber membrane to physically block bacteria, protozoan cysts and other contaminants. The membrane’s unique structure, which is ~85% open space, allows for fast flow of water, while still trapping contaminants. This process is called “size exclusion”. Liquidity has created a unique material for use in the fight against waterborne illnesses. There is no other product as practical and user-friendly.
- Fill the upper basin with unpurified water.
- Water passes through the prefilter removing larger particles before it reaches the purification cartridge
- Inside the purification cartridge Liquidity’s filtration media removes bacteria, virus and cysts.
- The water can be drank as soon as it accumulates in the lower basin
- The sediment filter will require occasional replacement. A slowing flow rate will indicate when a replacement is needed.
That’s it! No pumping, scrubbing or backwashing is required
