Applications
GEO2 filters can serve as filters and catalytic hosts
for numerous industrial, specialty chemical and pharmaceutical
applications. Benefits include:
Low Back-pressure and High Filtration Efficiencies
GEO2’s Random Matrix Filtration system has
a highly porous and distributed pore-structure that
leads to high filtration efficiencies while causing
low back-pressure in the exhaust flow. GEO2’s
DEPTH2 depth filters are extremely efficient in separating
particulates and condensed matter from nano-meter
size range to > 2.5 microns.
High Conversion Efficiency per Unit of Catalyst
for Reduced Costs
GEO2’s Random Matrix Filtration system can
help to reduce catalytic loading while reaching higher
total conversion efficiencies. The high surface area
combined with controlled pore-size distribution leads
to high catalytic efficiencies. Catalyst can reside
deep in the filter’s random matrix with less
chance of loss of efficiency from sintering. These
features help to reduce both unit and system costs.
Chemical Stability
GEO2 filters and catalytic hosts are resistant to
corrosion in acidic or basic chemical environments.
This makes GEO2 technology ideal for use in chemically
harsh (such as automotive exhaust) or sensitive (such
as bioreactor) environments.
Faster Light-off Time
The low thermal mass of GEO2’s Random Matrix
Filtration system can reduce the light-off time for
many applications.
High Operating Temperature
The GEO2 substrate has excellent thermal shock and
melting point characteristics. The substrate’s
melting point is >1550 degrees C. These thermal
properties allow the GEO2 substrate to be placed closer
to the source of emission without risk of damage to
the filter or catalyst.
Flexible Pore Structure and High Permeability
The GEO2 substrate has variable pore size distributions
(15 to 80+ micron, uni-modal or bi-modal), pore shape
(spherical, elongated, tubular, and other shapes),
porosity (60% to 90%) and permeability to serve many
filtration and catalytic host needs.
