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.
from raw water to potable water in a single step
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.
When do you choose hfnano?
- Feedwater color: up to 100 Hazen units
- Feedwater TOC (Total Organic Carbon): up to 50 mg/l
- Low salinity, low hardness
- Microbiological contamination requiring multiple barriers (e.g. combining NF with UV and chlorine)
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.
gain piece of mind
Drinking water suppliers also face tightening legislation, investor concerns and pressure on operational costs. They need new and better methods for NOM and color removal, after many have been tried over the years with varying degrees of success. Specifically, they need an effective and sustainable system that provides full control over their product quality at an affordable price, now and in the future.
Benefit from the innovative HFW1000 hollow-fiber NF membrane element is chlorine-resistant and backwashable, addressing the drawbacks of spiral-wound NF membranes. HFNano also eliminates the need for coagulants to remove dissolved organics.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS FOR HFNANO
HFNano systems are built when it becomes difficult to treat surface water.
- Where sustainable operation with very low environmental impact is required
- Relatively small-scale operations in remote locations with NOM and color issues
- Tourist locations with seasonal occupation, such as visitor centers
- Water plants without operating personnel that require a high degree of automation

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!
