Membrane Pioneers
in water & wastewater
Potable Water
Process Water
Desalination
Worldwide, governments, municipalities
and industries face the challenge of safeguarding current and future drinking water
requirements. Not only the allowable levels
for turbidity and microbiology are being
lowered for potable water, but also new
limits are being established for viruses
and chlorine resistant organisms, such
as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. With the
Aquaflex and Xiga UF membranes, Pentair
X-Flow offers a solution to produce potable
water that meets the highest standards for
turbidity and microbiology.
Because of rising costs and growing supply
challenges, more and more industrial and
agricultural customers are using surface
water instead of potable water. Pentair
X-Flow’s UF membranes produce process
water that can either be used directly,
if salinity and dissolved substances are
within limits, or be fed to a reverse osmosis
system, to remove salinity and dissolved
substances.
Seawater desalination requires extensive
pre-treatment in order expand the lifespan
of the RO membranes and prevent the RO
membranes from fouling and plugging with
fine silt. For this, Pentair X-Flow offers
dedicated UF membranes specifically
designed for seawater pre-treatment that
remove all fine silt and turbidity and screen
microbiology. The UF membranes thereby
provide a simple solution to produce water
that meets the highest standards for SDI,
turbidity and microbiology.
Municipal Wastewater
Industrial Wastewater
Wine Filtration
Municipal wastewater needs to be treated
to keep the environment good to live in. As
it originates exactly there where people
live, the treatment should be done as close
as possible to the source. With growing
cities, the footprint of these plants and the
quality of effluent is leading to an increased
demand in compact wastewater treatment
plants. Pentair X-Flow’s Airlift™ MBR
configuration offers an efficient membrane
solution outside the reactor allowing the
maintenance of the plant to be simple and
clean.
Especially in the industry, the feasibility of
treating wastewater is improving when the
water is dischargeable at lower costs or
reusable. For this, Pentair X-Flow offers
UF membranes for effluent polishing
and Membrane BioReactors (MBR) for
wastewater treatment. MBR systems
improve the efficiency of the reactor by
allowing the biomass to be concentrated
4 to 5 times and supply an excellent water
quality. Pentair X-Flow’s MBR systems
are applicable in Airlift™ and Crossflow
configurations, and can be designed as
aerobic and anaerobic systems.
For more than 20 years, Pentair X-Flow’s
microfiltration membranes have been used
for the filtration of wines, cider and grape
juice. Today, more than 20 percent of the
total global wine production is filtered with
our membrane technology. Clients turn to
Pentair X-Flow for our membrane filtration
technology that greatly improves the wine
or beverage quality, operation economics,
taste stability, environmental impact, and
amount of product loss.
