Particle control

3M™ High Flow Series filter system helps keep a high flow rate while working to increase the quality of your product and driving down operating costs.

Pre-RO filter

Pre-filtration is best practice for increasing the service life of RO membranes and reducing operating costs.

Sterile tank vent

To help maintain the water quality as the storage tank is filled and drained, use a sterile air vent filter.

Gas control

3M™ Liqui-Cel™ Membrane Contactors operate in-line and provide precise dissolved gas control in a compact design.

Prefilter

Help protect and extend the service life of your final filters to help reduce overall operating costs. 

Final filter

As a permanent physical barrier, 3M final filters can work in concert with other technologies as part of a multi-barrier approach to water quality.

Hygiene monitoring

Verify that your cleaning is effective and that it's safe to start production in your facility.

Featured applications

  • Water bottles being filled on an assembly line.
    Microbiological Control

    3M™ LifeASSURE™ Series Filters were developed with bottled water producers in mind. These filters help reduce microorganisms throughout the bottling process.

    3M™ LifeASSURE™ Membrane Filters offer superior durability for common cleaning and sanitation protocols so you can switch filters less frequently for more production up time.
