nanofiltration case study
Read more about how we applied X-Flow Nanofiltration in one of our projects in Australia. At this water treatment plant we did a pilot test with our Pentair X-Flow HFW1000 Membrane Elements.

Read the interesting research of Rahul Aggarwal in which he did research on 9 alternatives for a potable water production plant in Sweden. The alternative based on Nanofiltration came out as the most environmentally friendly solution.
The drinking water of hundreds of millions of people is polluted as a result of poor wastewater management. Half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas by 2025. New and evolving technologies allow us to reuse more wastewater and rely on surface water for producing drinking water. If you are in the business of solving water issues in a cost-efficient and sustainable manner, clearly there is still a great deal of work to be done. Nanofiltration has its own place in solving the world’s drinking water problems.
Many drinking water suppliers are dependent on surface water of declining quality, often due to increased levels of NOM. Rely on the Pentair X-Flow HFNano Solution for an effective way to treat raw surface water and produce potable water in just one process step, without the need for any additional treatment.
While the above is a good indication of surface water conditions that warrant the choice for HF Nano, the ideal solution is determined by your site-specific conditions and your water quality. In general, flow demand and the availability of proper sludge discharge facilities drive the choice between coagulation/ultrafiltration and nanofiltration.
HFNano systems are built when it becomes difficult to treat surface water.

Drought and water scarcity are issues that are high on the global agenda. Rainwater harvesting, energy efficient desalination plants and recycling wastewater allows to reduce scarcity and ease pressures on groundwater and other natural water bodies. But how to turn these types of water into potable water in the most sustainable way?
In this free webinar, the experts Frans Knops and Jens Potreck will show their knowledge and expertise on the different solutions available in the market. Which filtration solution effectively removes humic substance and color from surface water.
We compare several solutions developed to reduce dissolved organics.
The purpose of this webinar is to help you select the most sustainable solution for your water challenge with confidence.
As part of its separation into a new pure play water company, a new Pentair website has launched. Please visit the new Pentair.com to learn more about our exciting new company and your favorite brands!
