Filtrations

Pumices, Lapilli, andZeolites are filtering raw materials due to their alveolar nature, which forms a natural sponge and, depending on the type and grain size of the mineral, they can absorb various pollutant molecules or retain them for controlled release over time.

MAIN USES

• ZEOLITE BIOFILTERS
  Water treatment through filtration with Zeolite.
• FILTRATION OF INDUSTRIAL AND FARM WATER
  Treatment with Volcanic Lapilli.
• FILTRATION OF DRINKING WATER
  Ammonium removal with Pumice, Dried Pumice, and selective filtration through cation exchange with Zeolite.
• FILTRATION OF ATMOSPHERIC EMISSIONS
  Retention of odorous gases and pollutant molecules; adjuvant activated carbon with Pumice and Micronized Zeolite.

 

7 KEY APPLICATIONS of Volcanic Minerals in Industrial Filtration:

1. RAW WATER TREATMENT AND DRINKING WATER PRODUCTION (CLARIFICATION)
2. INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER (AMMONIA REMOVAL)
3. AIR TREATMENT (PLANT PROTECTION AND ACTIVE MEDIA)
4. BIOGAS SECTOR (BIOLOGICAL PROTECTION AND YIELD INCREASE)
5. PHYTOPURIFICATION (BIOPARKS, BIOLAKES AND PUBLIC PARKS)
6. BIOFILTRATION (AGGRESSIVE INDUSTRIAL EMISSIONS AND WASTE TREATMENT)
7. OILS AND HYDROCARBONS (INDUSTRIAL FILTRATION AND ROAD ABSORPTION)

CLINOPTILOLITE ZEOLITE vs QUARTZITE for Water Treatment

The incorporation of Europomice Clinoptilolite Zeolite is not merely a qualitative improvement, but a strategic choice that immediately optimises operating costs.
The drastic reduction in water and electricity consumption, combined with greater protection for sensitive components, makes the plant more efficient, economical and sustainable compared to traditional systems.

Europomice materials comply with the European standards for drinking water: EN 12906 (Pumice) and EN 16070 (Natural Zeolite)
