FILTECH 2024: Key Insights and Trends Shaping the Future of Air Filtration
FILTECH Exhibition 2024 was a great opportunity to discuss the future of air filtration and showcase our EcoStatic® wool-based filter media. Here are key takeaways from the event:
1. Energy Efficiency as a Priority
Energy efficiency in air filtration systems was a dominant theme, driven by rising energy costs and regulatory pressure. EcoStatic® media supports this trend with ultra-low pressure drop, minimizing energy consumption while delivering high filtration efficiency.
2. EU Regulations and Sustainability
The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and the Digital Product Passport (DPP) are raising the bar for product transparency and environmental responsibility. These regulations emphasize biobased, repairable, recyclable, and renewable materials, placing solutions like Lanaco’s traceable wool-based filter media at the forefront of compliance and innovation.
3. Innovating with Advanced Materials and Digital Technologies
– Biobased Materials: Offering eco-friendly alternatives without compromising performance, aligning with regulatory and consumer demands.
– Nanomaterials: Designed for applications requiring highly functional and selective filtration applications.
– Mathematical Modelling and Digital Technologies: The use of modelling to simulate how particles behave within filter media, helping to characterize and select materials more effectively.
4. Going Bio Without Sacrificing Performance
– Equivalent filtration efficiency with reduced material usage.
– Enhanced functionality, including ultra-low pressure drop, superior dust-holding capacity, fire and moisture resistance.
It was exciting to see more companies introducing biobased alternatives to traditional synthetic or glass fiber materials.
5. Value Over Price
Decision-making is increasingly shifting from cost-driven to value-driven. Buyers are prioritizing lifecycle benefits, sustainability credentials, and long-term performance. EcoStatic® highlights that choosing natural solutions offers significant environmental and performance benefits.
Let’s collaborate to make natural possible in air filtration!
