Bio-Resistant Glass Filtration Media for Sustainable Water Treatment
AFM (Activated Filter Media) is a bio-resistant glass filtration media developed as an advanced alternative to conventional sand. We supply this system through Dutco Tennant LLC for water treatment applications requiring higher filtration efficiency, improved hygiene, and long-term stability.
Manufactured from processed glass and activated to enhance surface properties, the AFM media is designed to reduce biofouling, improve particle removal, and maintain consistent filtration performance. It supports both single media filtration and dual media filtration configurations across municipal, commercial, and industrial water systems.
High-performance activated filter media for superior water filtration, offering improved efficiency, longer lifespan, and enhanced water quality.
