Pentair Presents Advanced Filtration Technology At IFAT 2016

Pentair airlift MBR system

Pentair will showcase its advanced filtration technologies at the 50th edition of IFAT, the international trade fair for environmental technology in Munich, Germany, May 30 - June 3, 2016. IFAT is the leading global trade fair for water, sewage, waste and raw materials management.

Pentair combines its extensive advanced filtration application expertise, engineering skills and products to deliver world-class filtration systems for water and other fluids. Pentair’s X-Flow brand, with its membrane technology utilized in high-efficiency applications around the world, is continually innovating to help customers produce more food, energy and efficiencies from each drop of water.

Most recently, Pentair introduced its Helix flux enhancement technology, which provides the solution to the problem of membrane fouling in high-solids ultrafiltration (UF). Helix introduces continuous turbulence right at the membrane wall, effectively cleaning the membrane at low crossflow velocities. Depending on the feedwater characteristics, Helix can deliver up to 100 percent extra productivity and lower energy consumption by 50 percent. The 2016 Water Vision Congress in the Netherlands awarded Pentair with the coveted “Water Innovator of the Year” title, as it recognized Helix’ ability to prevent fouling and minimize energy use in the treatment of industrial wastewater.

At IFAT, Pentair will highlight its latest water treatment innovations, including:

  • X-Flow’s Backwashable 8 mm Tubular Membrane Modules: Utilizing the Helix flux enhancement, X-Flow’s next generation tubular membrane allows for lower crossflow velocities and significant energy use reductions in heavy-duty wastewater treatment.
  • Aqualine: Provides a robust media filtration solution for industrial water treatment challenges.
  • Airlift Membrane BioReactor (MBR) system: Now available with Helix flux enhancement technology for higher performance with a smaller footprint and lower energy consumption.
  • X-line rack: Offers a pre-engineered ultrafiltration (UF) solution.

Additionaly, Pentair will also present the extended product range of Codeline, the world’s most trusted brand in membrane pressure vessels for critical and demanding applications.

Pentair’s experts in advanced filtration will be available to meet with visitors at the Pentair IFAT booth (number 328 in hall A3). They will answer any questions, demonstrate key features, and explain the value of our innovations, products and services for industrial and municipal water treatment operations.
