Ahlstrom Group, Helsinki, Finland, a manufacturer of nonwovens and specialty papers, announced this week that it has partnered with Eureka Forbes Limited to launch a new product to serve the growing needs for clean water in the Indian sub-continent. The device, designed and manufactured by Eureka Forbes, which will be sold under the brand name AquaSure, incorporates Ahlstrom's Disruptor filter media, a technology that removes a wide range of pathogens and submicron contaminants from water.

The new AquaSure storage water purifier removes all three types of contaminants from water: physical, chemical, and microbiological - without the use of any chemicals and, thus, gives not just microbiologically pure, but safe drinkable water. The new technology eliminates the need to add disinfecting chemicals that raise potential public health and safety concerns. In addition, it provides a simple, convenient and affordable way to purify water, consistent with entrenched consumer habits, according to Ahlstrom..
