MICROFIBRE FILTRATION FOR INDUSTRY
The industrial solution of our filtration technology has the same effective capture rates as our domestic Microfibre Pollution Filter but is designed to be compatible at a commercial scale. Either by integrating our Microfibre Pollution Filter directly into a commercial washing machine, or as a stand-alone unit that can be attached to a series of machines, or a whole laundry.
The system is designed with a self-cleaning mechanism to last 60 wash cycles before it needs to be emptied. It only takes a minute to dispose of the fibres from the collection tray which is then put back into the Microfibre Pollution Filter to continue to collect further fibre fragments.
For more information about our commercial microfibre filtration solutions get in touch with us below.
“In 2020, microplastic fibres were discovered on Everest, demonstrating that even the most remote locations are vulnerable to microplastic pollution. As we modernise Rothera Research Station, we are taking every practicable step to prevent the release of microplastic fibres onto the Antarctic peninsula and into the Southern Ocean.
At BAS we actually go well above the minimum required standard with an innovative wastewater treatment plant that has a rigorous effluent testing regime developed by me and other members of the estates team. It is important that we demonstrate that BAS operates at the highest of standards and this includes our wastewater treatment. If we can do so in a location as remote as Antarctica there is no excuse for poor standards of effluent release in the UK; a problem recently highlighted in news coverage preceding COP26.”
