Pentair X-Flow Ultrafiltration MembraneAquaflex 64

The Pentair X-Flow Ultrafiltration Membrane Aquaflex 64 is a hollow fiber membrane module designed for advanced water and wastewater treatment. Here's a structured overview of its key features, applications, and specifications:

Key Features:

• Technology: Hollow fiber ultrafiltration (UF) with a pore size typically around 0.02–0.05 microns, effective for removing bacteria, viruses, suspended solids, and colloids.

• Material: Likely made from PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) for durability, chemical resistance, and fouling mitigation.

• Design:

• Flexible Configuration: Suitable for pressurized or submerged systems, adaptable to various plant designs.

• High Surface Area: The "64" may refer to membrane area (e.g., 64 m²) or module size, optimizing filtration capacity.

• Robust Construction: Resists mechanical stress and frequent backwashing.

Applications:

• Municipal Water Treatment: Producing potable water from surface or groundwater.

• Industrial Wastewater Reuse: Treating effluent for recycling in industries like power, textiles, or chemicals.

• Food & Beverage: Purifying process water or wastewater.

• Pre-Treatment for Reverse Osmosis (RO): Reducing fouling in desalination or high-purity systems.

Performance Specifications:

• Flux Rate: Typically 50–100 LMH (liters per m²/hour), depending on water quality and operating conditions.

• Operating Pressure: ~0.1–2.5 bar (low-energy consumption).

• Temperature Tolerance: 5–40°C.

• pH Range: Operates in 2–11 (cleaning at extreme pH levels possible).

• Recovery Rate: High (up to 90–95% with efficient backwashing).

• 

Maintenance:

• Backwashing: Regular cycles to remove fouling (air or water).

• Chemical Cleaning: CIP (clean-in-place) with acids, bases, or oxidants (e.g., NaOCl) for biofouling control.

• Integrity Testing: Ensures fiber integrity via pressure decay or bubble-point tests.

Advantages:

• Reliability: Consistent performance with low fouling.

• Compact Design: Space-efficient for retrofitting or new installations.

• Sustainability: Reduces chemical use and energy compared to conventional methods.

Typical Module Specifications:

• Dimensions: Varies by model (e.g., 200–250 mm diameter, 1.5–2m length).

• Connections: Standardized fittings for easy integration into skid systems.

Pentair emphasizes ease of integration and low lifecycle costs, making the Aquaflex 64 a competitive choice for diverse UF applications.
