Research Technician Bertron Hamill removes the case from an axial filter to perform filter media tests at Mississippi State University's Institute for Clean Energy Technology (ICET). This research is one of the many ways that ICET serves clients like the U.S. Department of Energy with the data they need regarding filter efficiency and performance, helping to protect nuclear facility workers and the environment.
