Quality requirements for potable water are becoming increasingly stringent throughout the world. Not only the allowable levels for turbidity and micro biology are being lowered, but also new limits are being established for viruses and chlorine resistant organisms, such as cryptosporidium OO cysts and Giardia cysts.

Conventional treatment systems are either unable to meet these quality standards or multiple barriers are required which require a large footprint and investment.

Norit X-Flow’s hollow fibre UF membrane will screen all turbidity, bacteria as well as viruses. The X-Flow UF membrane will provide a simple solution that will produce water that meets the highest standards for turbidity and micro biology.

Norit X-Flow’s hollow fibre membrane is available in two configurations:

• XIGA™ - Multiple membranes (up to 4) installed in horizontal membrane housings.
• Aquaflex - Single membranes installed vertically and connected directly to feed and filtrate headers.

The Norit X-Flow XIGA™ and Aquaflex membrane modules are being produced in an ISO 9000 certified factory and have potable water approvals for a large number of countries:

• The Netherlands
• The United Kingdom
• Germany
• France
• The United States
• Japan
