TOWSON, Maryland, Sept. 4, 2003 -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded USFilter Memcor® Products its ETV Drinking Water Systems verification for the 3M10C CMF Microfiltration System.   The EPA's verification statement validates the performance of the Memcor® microfiltration system through third party independent testing.
 
The EPA created the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program to assist the use and acceptance of innovative or improved environmental technologies through performance verification and information sharing.
 
The 3M10C CMF unit is part of USFilter’s small range continuous microfiltration (CMF) product line that also includes 6M10 and 12M10 units.  The small range CMF units are packaged systems designed to include all of the necessary controls and equipment required for an operational system, with minimal installation required.    Memcor has more than 800 of these units installed throughout the world and has a wide variety of membranes and system configurations for providing safe drinking water.

The 3M10C CMF unit is a pressurized membrane filtration process that was tested using polypropylene membranes that are ANSI/NSF Standard 61 certified along with the module housing.  Complete reports on these certifications can be downloaded from the EPA ETV website at www.epa.gov/etv or NSF website at www.nsf.org/etv/dws .
