PENTAIR X-FLOW MEMBRANE ELEMENTS
PENTAIR X-FLOW MEMBRANE ELEMENTS
Pentair X-Flow’s hollow fibre ultrafiltration (UF) membranes, with a MWCO (Molecular Weight Cutt-off) of 150 to 200 kilodaltons (kDa), remove all silt, turbidity, bacteria and viruses, as well as micro-organisms such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
They are the membranes of choice for wastewater treatment, making the wastewater ready for discharge or reuse.
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a membrane filtration process similar to Reverse Osmosis, using hydrostatic pressure to force water through a semi-permeable membrane element, in this case, Pentair X-Flow hollow fibres.
UF is a barrier to suspended solids, bacteria, viruses, endotoxins, and other pathogens to produce water with very high purity and low SDI.
With the Helix flux enhancement technology, X-Flow addresses a bottleneck in high-solids ultrafiltration (UF) by preventing the build-up of foulants. Helix technology enhances flux, increases flow, and saves energy. By introducing turbulence right at the membrane wall, Helix technology provides continuous mixing and efficient removal of the cake layer that would otherwise reduce the membrane’s hydraulic permeability. The resulting higher permeate flow means higher productivity and lower costs.
