Electrostatic effects play a central role in the functioning of modern filter media and significantly determine their efficiency and performance. In particular, in applications such as air and liquid filtration, particle separation, and in medical and industrial contexts, electrostatic charges enable the effective binding and separation of particles that are far smaller than the pore size of the filter. Through the targeted use of electrostatic forces, filter media can achieve high filtration performance with low flow resistance. This is crucial not only for improving energy efficiency but also for meeting demanding environmental protection and health standards. In this context, electrostatic effects are increasingly being regarded as a key technology for the development of innovative and sustainable filtration solutions. Digital simulations with Geo Dict enable precise investigation of the interactions between electrostatic forces and particles in a filter medium. They provide insights into the mechanisms of charge interaction, particle movement, and separation efficiency, which are difficult to access experimentally. This enables detailed investigation of the electrostatic charging of filter fibers and its influence on particle separation. With the help of Geo Dict, filter efficiency can be predicted and optimized. - Detailed investigation of operating conditions - Effects of electrostatic forces on separation efficiency - Consideration of filter effects on different scales - Testing of novel materials with combined electrostatic and mechanical separation mechanisms
