Greater process efficiencies and a quantum leap in environmental sustainability

The MaxFlo® family of filter aid products is based on rice hull ash (RHA), an amorphous silica byproduct of burning rice hulls for energy generation. That is just the beginning of the story.

Not only are MaxFlo® products created from a renewable resource, they are engineered through the precise control of combustion and proprietary processes to yield a range of high performance properties that are as beneficial as they are environmentally sound.

These include higher flow rates at lower pressures, lower process energy requirements, greater product purity, and reduced health risks for workers when compared to other filter aids.

The staff at MaxFlo® Filtration applies extensive filtration knowledge and experience, R & D technologies, expertise and laboratory services to assist customers in resolving specific filtration requirements.


In this ever-expanding global economy, the need for energy and environmentally friendly technologies is constantly growing. As concern for our environment grows, the demand for both a cleaner alternative source of energy and renewable resources is being heard throughout the world. In response to this demand, the world's leading company in rice hull biomass electrical and energy production has developed proven solutions to these growing needs.

Agrilectric Power, the United States' leading operator of rice hull combustion power plants has new, more efficient and environmentally friendly power plants which utilize a biomass waste product, rice hulls, to produce energy.

Agrilectric Research has developed rice hull ash based products designed to provide safe, environmentally friendly solutions for a variety of applications including filtration, steel additives and insulating materials, absorbents and soil amendment.
