Fibroline
Hall 8, Stand F38
Fibroline is an engineering company that has developed and patented a range of dry powder impregnation technologies for textile functionalization. The company has an innovation center in France near Lyon, as well as an entity in the USA, in North Carolina. Looking for new partners worldwide, Fibroline will be located in Hall 8, at Stand F38 at FILTECH 2024.
Thanks to a revolutionary process based on the use of alternating electric fields, Fibroline solutions can impregnate materials in powder form throughout either thin or thick filter media, such as foams, papers, textiles or nonwovens. Various types of powders, such as MOF, zeolites, IX-resin or others, can be used to capture or extract molecules from air or liquids, like CO2, lithium, formaldehyde, PFAs, arsenic and others. This has allowed Fibroline to secure partnerships with several main actors in the filtration industry. Indeed, these solutions can be used to produce membranes for several purposes, such as odor absorption and liquid or gas filtration.
As these innovative solutions allow for the elimination of solvents or effluents and require little energy, they bring competitiveness and sustainability to Fibroline customers. Thanks to bigger specific surface areas compared to beads or pellets and the removal of liquid binders that totally cancel all clogging effects, dry impregnation solutions result in higher efficiency compared to conventional solutions.
Fibroline has multidisciplinary R&D teams with unique know-how. Its innovation center offers all of its technologies on a laboratory and pilot scale, allowing customers to secure a project from the initial idea to the industrial implementation of the solution.

Lenzing Filtration
Hall 7, Stand L12
After almost 15 years on the market, the Lenzing OptiFil is widely recognized as a backwash filter for “special operations” and as a technology solution that starts where others stop. Its unique patented design allows a significantly reduced reject (= waste) amount, removing much smaller particles and thus higher solid concentration in the feed compared to traditional backwash filter designs. This is all while having an unbeatable backwash efficiency compared to other filtration solutions worldwide.
A strategic redesign program aimed at maintaining the competitiveness in view of pricing due to increased labor costs and to even extend the application fields to slightly less demanding ones (never to low end markets).
The new model OptiFil-S (“S” for standard), launched this year, has managed to keep pricing stable even under rising labor costs while keeping all the standard features allowing for highest backwash efficiency and versatile use.
The new model OptiFil-L (“L” for lean version) accommodates internals that are fabricated at lower cost, with slightly less accuracy, still keeping the main feature of a seal between feed chamber and reject chamber – but omits the feature of an exact positioning after each backwash targeting slightly less demanding applications.
The Lenzing sales team is looking forward to discussing the company’s improved design innovation as well as other possible solid-liquid filtration solutions in Hall 7, Stand L12 at FILTECH.
Math2Market
Hall 8, Stand B26
Math2Market’s GeoDict software is used worldwide for computer-aided engineering of filter media and filters. GeoDict determines and predicts filtration performance parameters digitally and these results are used in real life for engineering and optimization of filter materials and filters. Over 450 companies, universities, and research institutes simulate with GeoDict to develop innovative materials and optimize their analysis and development processes.
The latest additions to GeoDict address critical challenges faced by the filtration industry. An area of high interest is carbon capture which aims to trap and store CO2 emissions from industrial activities and power generation, and to prevent their release into the atmosphere. Another acute topic is activated carbon cabin air filters in the automotive industry. These and other adsorption based processes are key in reducing environmental pollution, eliminating harmful substances, and perfecting HVAC applications. In GeoDict 2024, Math2Market introduces the digital modeling of adsorption and the prediction of breakthrough curves. These curves are a valuable measure of the quality of adsorption filter media, but obtaining them experimentally is time-consuming and costly.
GeoDict’s new features drive filtration technology towards sustainability and digitalization. Manufacturers seeking to advance filtration technologies and release new products greatly benefit from the reduction and simplification of laboratory tests and the digital acceleration of development cycles brought by GeoDict.
