The core component of the Pentair X-Flow CRP is the HFW 1000 membrane. The membrane fiber combines the chemical resistance of X-Flow's membranes with the organic retention of spiral wound nanofiltration.
Pentair said advantages of the CRP include:
• Requires pre-treatment of only a 300 micron safety screen before the raw surface water is directly fed to the membranes
• Offers chlorine resistance for easy cleaning to help ensure stable operation
• Provides >6-log (99.9999%) reduction of bacteria and viruses
• Eliminates three process steps
• Contains verifiable barrier that can be proven with integrity testing.
Pentair said the technology has proven to achieve a high retention of NOM, expressed as color, humic acids, TOC, and UV254, and shows low retention of hardness, including multivalent ions such as Calcium (Ca2+) and Magnesium (Mg2+).
Juergen von Hollen, vice president, advanced water technology, said: “The level of natural organic matter in surface water provides ongoing challenges to municipalities around the globe."
