This translates into a reduced footprint and smarter irrigation processes.EkoFiber’s fiberglass reinforced polyester (FPR) filter housing provides several structural advantages over metal housings, which are the industry standard. The use of FRP makes this system highly resistant to corrosion, chemicals, UV exposure, and temperature variations. FRP also maintains the dimensional stability of the filter and reduces the risk of leaks at connections. Plus, it offers high mechanical strength and rigidity, particularly under external loads, vibrations, and structural stresses.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.H2O Innovation has created a solution that does more than filter water: it gives customers a flexible platform for building more resilient pretreatment systems. EkoFiber can operate as a stand-alone unit or as part of a modular skid configuration. This scalability opens opportunities for projects ranging from smaller, targeted installations to larger multi-unit systems.Granted by FederUnacoma, the Technical Evolution award recognizes products that present original improvements compared to products already manufactured or patented. For H2O Innovation, this recognition highlights the market potential of this new pretreatment solution that is designed to help irrigation and water-treatment operators address increasingly demanding requirements in terms of water quality and operational efficiency.“The EkoFiber combines the structural durability and stability of our recognized Piedmont FRP housings with Lama’s proven hydraulic technology,” said Frédéric Dugré, President and Chief Executive Officer of H2O Innovation. “This award is a powerful recognition that reinforces our confidence in EkoFiber’s potential as a reliable pretreatment solution for customers who need to protect their downstream equipment and adapt to growing water-treatment and irrigation challenges.”This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Available in 3-inch and 4-inch sizes, EkoFiber has demonstrated strong performance in tests performed in the Corporation’s in-house laboratory.
