Efficiency of the Biofilter

-
In December 2022, Dynamized Technologies commissioned an independent, accredited Belgian laboratory (Euraceta) to analyze 310 pollutants (heavy metals, pesticides, drugs, plasticizers, phthalates, chlorine, etc.) in legally potable tap water in Belgium, significantly exceeding the number of parameters reported by city water distribution companies! This analysis confirmed that tap water nevertheless contains several dozen residual pollutants (pesticides, heavy metals, etc.) whose concentrations exceed legal limits (according to European Directive 2020/2184 on water intended for human consumption) or exceed the permitted precautionary thresholds (maximum health limits) due to health precautions, which allow us to consider pesticide metabolites as relevant. These pollutants could therefore not be filtered by city water treatment plants. This is concerning, given that some of them are endocrine disruptors that can ultimately pose a health risk (through chronic consumption).
After the water has been filtered and dynamized by the Biofilter and Biodynamizer, various remaining pollutants are neutralized (their concentrations drop below the legal concentration thresholds of the EU Drinking Water Directive or the health warning thresholds for these pollutants that may be considered relevant), making city water biocompatible again!
This analysis confirms that the combination of the Biofilter (filtration) + Biodynamizer (dynamization) clearly leads to a very broad spectrum of water purification.


The Biofilter prevents PFAS:
Activated carbon is considered the best medium for filtering PFAS (>80% efficiency) due to its specific properties: electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions and subsequent adsorption (retention/capture) on the porous surface of PFAS (depending on the size of the micropores). The adsorption surface of the Biofilter is 3,000 m2/g activated carbon x 3 kg, or an adsorption surface 33 times greater than that of standard filters, making it even more effective in filtering PFAS!
Several international scientific analyses confirm the superior efficiency of activated carbon in retaining PFAS in water.
The European Drinking Water Directive (Directive 2020/2184 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2020 on the quality of water intended for human consumption) sets the limit for PFAS in water at 100 nanograms per litre (ng/l) for the sum of the concentrations of 20 PFAS and 500 ng/l for all PFAS
