The tests were performed with new filter media, without any biofilm, at a filtration speed of 20 m\/h without the addition of any type of flocculant, and the results showed that AFM® ng is the only one capable of filtering 95% of particles larger than 1 micron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should AFM® ng be used?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• The amount of AFM required in a filter is 15% less than that required for silica sand.
