Purification by activated carbon is a proven, modern, state of the art technology for a multitude of purification needs. Nevertheless, the principle have been discovered long back, and activated carbon has had a rich history ever since. The ancient Greeks had already described the use of charcoal to Columbus sailors used to blacken the insides of water barrels with fire. They had learned that the water would stay fresh much longer by doing so.

The beneficial behavior of carbonized materials is caused by the phenomenon that contaminants, organic compounds in most cases, tend to accumulate on surfaces-a process commonly referred to as adsorption. It was adsorption of organic compounds from the water barrels the sailors used. Likewise it was adsorption of toxins emitted by invading bacteria that lessened the effects of food poisoning on Greek intestines.

Initially C.A.S. specialized in the more unusual media such as manganese dioxide, garnet and anthracite but others have been added to the product range over the years. This means that customers can now obtain all their filter media from one source no matter how small or how large their requirement may be.

Strict attention is paid to the quality of all raw materials used in the manufacture of C.A.S. products. In some cases selected sub-contractors work to stringent specifications exclusively for C.A.S. Other products are made in-house by the company or are obtained from established manufacturers who meet C.A.S.'s high standards.

In line with its policy of supplying the best products and service C.A.S. operates a Quality System which provides for continual quality improvement and has been awarded third party certification to ISO9002.

In addition to it's role as a supplier of filter media C.A.S. carries out research into the properties and applications of the materials offered as well as developing new types of media. As a result of this research a filter medium for the treatment of highly alkaline process liquors and a material for heavy metals removal from potable and waste waters have been developed.

Customers are invited to consult C.A.S. for advice on applications of filter media, assistance with the design of filter beds and media selection. Technical Data Sheets are available on all C.A.S. products and these are updated in line with the company policy of continual improvement

Silver and Katadyn

The bacterial action of silver (Ag+ ) is known as <<katadyn> > effect, a fusion of catalytic (German: katalytisch) and oligodynamic. It means the destruction of micro-organisms by catalysis, using very small amounts of dissolved silver (oligos = small, dynamis = force). The Electro-Katadyn system is adding the silver ions to the water by an electrolytic process. It is the practical application of Faraday’s law of Electrochemical Equivalent

Investigation

Over the decades, a great many scientific investigations into the bactericidal effect of silver ions in the water have been done. The works worth noting are, for example, the investigations by Wuhrmann and Zobrist, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology , and the tests by Dr. lee, Centre for Applied Microbiology and Research of the U.K. Public Health Service. The investigations by Wuhrmann and Zobrist included the sensitivity of various types of bacteria to silver as well as the water on the reaction time. These tests confirmed the oligodynamic effect of silver.

As a privately owned midsize company in Switzerland. AQUAFIDES focuses on its customers and employees. AQUAFIDES operates with its own companies and employees in Austria, Germany, Italy, Poland and Switzerland.

The international sales team is based in Dietlikon in Switzerland. Customer can expect highest quality of products and services in a dat by day basis. Employees and management of AQUAFIDES assure such quality based on decades of experience in water treatment. As a privately owned and independent company, AQUAFIDES pursuits its long term strategy based on the challenges customers request. Not short term shareholder value or growth, but quality, sustainability and the flexibility to respond to customer needs are the targets of AQUAFIDES.

AQUAFIDES develops and produces all its products itself. Therefore AQUAFIDES is able to ensure the highest level of quantity and is flexible to respond to customer needs, which can not be satisfied by standard product lines.

Ion Exchange Resin

Ion exchange (IX) resins are polymers that are capable of exchanging ions with ions in a solution that is passed through them.

Our world-class IX resins serve applications as diverse as industrial water softening, pharmaceutical formulations, sweetener purification, mining and more. Our IX resins come in a variety of chemical compositions, polymer structures, and particle sizes to meet current and developing industry needs and requirements.

Reverse Osmosis & Nanofiltration

Compared to other filtration technologies that rely on a screen or filter to remove particles, reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) are pressure-driven separation processes that employs a semi- permeable membrane and the principles of cross-flow filtration.

We provide the most widely used RO and NF technologies in the world—trusted by municipalities, manufacturers of all types, small businesses and families wanting clean, healthy water at home

Ultrafiltration 

Ultrafiltration (UF) technology uses a membrane barrier to exclude particles as small as 0.01 microns, including bacteria, viruses and colloids. Advantages of UF compared to conventional treatment such as clarifiers and media filters, are its high tolerance to feed water quality upsets, absolute barrier and improved water quality.

Dow has over 70 years of experience with industry leading separation technologies, including ultrafiltration (UF) membrane technology. Our portfolio of products is designed for outstanding membrane separation, extreme productivity and efficiency, exceptional reliability and a small footprint. Our products are proven in more than 900 ultrafiltration installations worldwide in a variety of municipal and industrial water applications. Put simply, we help provide clean water at a lower cost and provide experience you would expect from the leader in separation technologies.

Ion Exchange Resin

LANXESS is a leading global solution provider for water treatment and liquid purification with excellent technical Know-how and customer service. For more than 80 years our Lewatit® ion exchange resins and adsorbers are used in numerous industries to treat and purify water and other liquid media. In addition, we offer a range of Bayoxide® iron oxide adsorbers for various water treatment applications.

 MonoPlus M500

Lewatit® MonoPlus M 500 is a strongly basic, gelular anion exchange resin with beads of uniform size (monodisperse) based an a styrenedivinylbenzene copolymer. The monodisperse beads are chemically and osmotically highly stable. The optimized kinetics lead to an increased operating capacity compared to ion exchange resins with heterodisperse bead size distribution. 

Bayoxide E 33

Bayoxide® E 33 is a technical iron oxide adsorber in granular form. The product is based on a defined crystalline α-Ferric oxide hydroxide structure and has been developed specifically for the removal of arsenic and other ions from potable water. It is applied in a simple passive continuous pump-and-treat system for selective removal treatment of contaminated water. Due to its particularly high surface area and adsorption capacity it selectively and safely adsorbs arsenic below the level of 10 µg/L. Relative to conventional adsorber media Bayoxide® E 33 allows significant longer operating times based on its advanced capacity.

Resin MonoPlus S108

Lewatit® MonoPlus S 108 adds special features to the resin bed:

• high flow rates during regeneration and loading

• a high operating capacity at low regenerant consumption

• a low demand for rinse water

• a homogeneous throughput of regenerants, water and solutions, resulting in a homogeneous operating zone

• a virtually linear pressure drop gradient across the entire bed depth, allowing operation with higher bed depths

• a low TOC emission and high resistance to oxidative stress

• a good separation of the components in mixed bed applications.

• Has Halal Certification
