Presented at FiltXPO, from April 29-May 1, 2025, at the Miami Beach Convention Centre, Florida, these awards highlight exceptional innovations in three categories: Air/Gas Filtration Media, Water/Liquid Filtration Media and Filtration Equipment.
The finalists for the FiltXPO Air/Gas Filtration Award include Hollingsworth & Vose with their NanoWave ESA, an all-synthetic, 3D filter media free from PFAS, designed to enable the production of efficient, comfortable, and stretchable respiratory protection. Lanaco’s EcoStatic ML Series Filter Media, a wool-based air filtration solution using advanced electrostatic technology, offers exceptional efficiency and ultra-low pressure drop, even in challenging environments, while being USDA-certified as 100 per cent bio-based. Greentech Environmental LLC's Greentech Filters with ODOGard technology integrate odour-neutralising polymers into nonwoven and nanofibre filters, providing a non-toxic approach to improving indoor air quality with enhanced durability and performance.
The finalists for the FiltXPO Water/Liquid Filtration Award include Ahlstrom’s BioProtect, a sustainable material that offers superior dye-catching performance for laundry applications. Made from 100 per cent naturally derived fibres and OC-Biobinder, BioProtect is bio-based and home compostable, combining top-tier performance with environmental responsibility. Periodic Products, Inc.’s MetalXtract Filter Media uses patented Chelok Polymer Technology to provide exceptional metal adsorption capabilities—100 to 500 times greater than traditional resins—across a wide pH range, making it ideal for wastewater treatment and environmental remediation, INDA said on its website.
The finalists for the FiltXPO Filtration Equipment Award include Luwa America Inc.’s Multi Cell Filter (MCV), which saves space by reducing floor space requirements by approximately 70 per cent compared to traditional drum filters. Oerlikon Neumag’s hycuTEC technology hydrocharges nonwoven filter media, achieving over 99.9 per cent filtration efficiency with lower pressure loss and minimal resource consumption, making it a breakthrough in high-efficiency filtration. Filtration Advice Inc.’s FA-TCO Software offers a comprehensive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis and predictive modelling for air filtration systems, enabling data-driven decisions that extend filter lifespans, reduce operational costs, and improve sustainability.
Finalists will present their innovative solutions at FiltXPO, showcasing breakthroughs that elevate quality, efficiency, and sustainability across the filtration industry.
“We’re delighted to highlight these groundbreaking innovations that promise to reshape the filtration landscape,” said Matt O’Sickey, PhD, INDA’s director of education & technical affairs. “FiltXPO provides the perfect stage to recognise the industry’s most significant advances and inspire future developments.”
Winners will be announced during FiltXPO at INDA booth # 2439.
