X-FLOW MUNICIPAL & INDUSTRIAL WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT WATER SOLUTIONS introduction Expertise in membrane technology water treatment with ultrafiltration membranes wastewater treatment with ultrafiltration membranes Pentair X-Flow is the world’s leading company in the development and supply of high-quality and innovative membrane technology to global municipal and industrial markets. The portfolio contains numerous standard membranes, modules and units for filtration and purification processes. Pentair X-Flow’s hollow fiber ultrafiltration (UF) membranes provide superior separation performance and effectively reject bacteria and viruses. Pentair X-Flow offers different aerobic and anaerobic MBR systems with hollow fiber UF membranes that make the wastewater ready for discharge or reuse. Key features Key features • High filtrate quality • Fully enclosed, robust system • Substantial savings in space, cost and energy • Clean and dry system set-up outside the bioreactor • Suited to build scalable systems • S afe working environment • Easy to integrate with other processes • Limited energy consumption of 0,2-0,3 kWh/m3 Throughout the years, Pentair X-Flow has especially gained expertise and experience in water purification, ranging from producing potable water to treating wastewater and the pre-treatment of seawater, but also in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Clients turn to Pentair X-Flow, because of our application know-how for projects of all sizes, including some of the largest membrane installations in the world. Worldwide, Pentair X-Flow has an extensive network of professional sales offices, service centers, agents and distributors that work together to make Pentair X-Flow the partner of choice for world-class water purification solutions. Pentair X-Flow has led the field in the development and application of responsible membrane technologies for more than 25 years by focusing on multi-disciplinary know-how, research and service. This A-Z approach combined with our strong pioneering spirit has led to the development of reliable membrane products that stand out concerning performance, efficiency and profitability while protecting public health, operators and the environment. • Reliable single barrier for bacteria and viruses • High performance and integrity • Easiest membrane cleaning & maintenance • Operation at high fluxes • Compact and flexible design 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.
