New Pentair Aquaflex™ system features the industry’s best performance and efficiency properties


Driven to development water treatment technologies that ‘do more with less’, Pentair X-Flow is introducing a new generation Pentair Aquaflex™ that offers the best performance at the lowest financial and environmental footprint available in the industry today. Combining the smallest membrane pore size, highest permeate output and lowest energy requirement, Pentair X-Flow cracks the code on delivering ultrafiltration (UF) technologies with a higher capacity and lower resource requirement.

The global unbalance of fresh water availability coupled with deteriorating water quality cannot be tackled simply by doing more of the same. This requires new visions and cutting-edge innovations in the production of potable and process water, pre-treatment of seawater and wastewater treatment. The Pentair group is leading the way with the introduction of its Efficient Performance Technology mark of excellence, which incorporates one of the key principles of sustainability: do more with less.



This second generation of Pentair Aquaflex™, the Pentair Group’s first Efficient Performance Technology compliant technology, features exponential performance and efficiency gains such as:

  • 40% more filtration surface per membrane module
  • Up to 25% higher flux rates from the re-engineered Aquaflex skid
  • 90-98% recovery rate
  • 75% overall increase in permeate output
  • 50% reduction in chemical use with Pentair Smart Technology
  • Microbiological retention:
        • Bacteria: 99.9999%
        • Viruses: 99.99%
  • Up to 40% reduction in CAPEX/OPEX

 

Of the world’s top 10 largest UF systems, no other company has supplied more UF technology, know-how and services than Pentair X-Flow. The prerequisite of this success is Pentair X-Flow’s ability to design sustainable and financially astute solutions. This widely gained knowledge and experience forms the basis of this second generation Aquaflex™ that pushes the envelope on both performance and efficiency to unmatched proportions.
