Olive Branch, Mississippi Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Glanris Inc has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for innovation in sustainable water treatment. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 12030791, titled ‘Method to regenerate an activated carbon filtration media’, introduces a more efficient and eco-friendly process to restore spent carbon filters.
This patented method allows activated carbon media, commonly used to purify water, to be regenerated instead of discarded. It significantly reduces waste while cutting down the cost and energy associated with producing new filter material.
Glanris’ process uses controlled thermal treatment to remove captured contaminants, restoring the filter’s absorption ability. The method is designed to retain the media’s structural integrity and performance over multiple regeneration cycles.
This breakthrough supports industries that rely on clean water, including manufacturing, agriculture, and municipal systems. By extending the lifespan of activated carbon filters, the technology promotes circular use of resources and lowers the environmental impact of water treatment operations.
With global demand for water purification on the rise, this innovation comes at a critical time. Glanris continues to lead the charge in sustainable filtration solutions, providing tools to meet today’s water challenges with tomorrow’s technology.
