FILTRONICS, Inc. of Anaheim an Authorized Dealer of NXT-2 Media

Filtronics, Inc. announces an agreement with EP Minerals for distribution of their NXT-2 media for the removal of arsenic, fluoride, lead, phosphate, chromium, selenium, antimony and other contaminants. NXT-2 is a direct replacement for arsenic absorption media and for most ion exchange arsenic applications. Filtronics is offering the NXT-2 media in addition to their already extensive product line of Electromedia? products for municipal and industrial water treatment.

The NXT-2 patented*technology was developed in cooperation between EP Minerals and the University of Nevada-Reno to provide cost effective treatment for the removal of arsenic from drinking water to less than 10 ppb to meet compliance with EPA requirements. NXT-2 is a free-flowing, lanthanum based mixed metal oxy-hydroxide media which was designed not only to provide maximum capacity through high surface area, but also improved stability against pH upset to prevent possible desorption of bound arsenic both during use and in landfill conditions. As with all Filtronics technologies, NXT-2 has been demonstrated to offer low overall treatment costs, coupled with ease of use and low maintenance requirements.

Filtronics has already successfully used NXT-2 in installations in California for the treatment of arsenic. Bill Hoyer, COO of Filtronics said “We are very excited to be working with EP Minerals and having the NXT-2 media approved in California. It is working beautifully removing arsenic to well below the 10 mg/L limit and our pilot studies prove breakthrough is up to three times the bed volumes of our competition.”

EP Minerals, LLC, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EP Management Corporation. EP Minerals started operations in Nevada in 1945 and has grown to become a worldwide leader in diatomaceous earth (DE) filter aids, absorbents, and functional additives serving dozens of diverse markets from food and beverage to biofuels to paints and plastics. The company also produces perlite filter aids and drinking water purification media. Additional information on EP Minerals is available at www.epminerals.com.
