PENTAIR PRESENTS BREAKTHROUGH WATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES AT AQUATECH AMSTERDAM
Aquatech is the world’s leading trade exhibition on water treatment. At the forthcoming edition in Amsterdam RAI, which takes place from 3-6 November 2015, Pentair will present several breakthrough technologies in water purification. Two Pentair companies, Advanced Filtration and Water Purification, are both among the global market leaders in their respective fields. They will showcase their latest innovations and technologies for the separation, filtration, treatment and quality control of water and other fluids.
Advanced Filtration
Pentair Advanced Filtration has just launched its new Helix flux enhancement technology. In ultrafiltration of high-strength wastewater with tubular membranes, Helix solves the problem of heavy membrane fouling by introducing constant turbulence. The resulting flux enhancement boosts productivity and reduces energy costs significantly. Helix is available on all X-flow tubular membrane modules. The latest addition to this product range, the 12 inch Compact 75G with high mechanical strength and high chemical resistance, was developed for the most demanding tasks in industrial wastewater treatment.
X-line is a revolutionary, pre-engineered ultrafiltration (UF) solution. With maximum flexibility in rack design and a minimized footprint, this unique concept is a complete and ready-to-use water purification system. Its robust design and versatility makes X-Line applicable in a wide range of industrial and municipal filtration operations. Another innovation is Aqualine, developed for pretreatment and as protection for Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes. Aqualine is a high-flow microfiltration system with lower capital and operational costs than any comparable conventional system.
Water Purification
Pentair Water Purification focuses on residential, commercial and industrial water treatment applications. In many parts of the world, the quality of tap water leaves much to be desired, which allow new products from Water Purification to be the perfect match for the users daily needs :
- The Green RO encapsulated membrane provides an extremely efficient way to produce drinking water of the highest quality at home by saving 50% of water compared to other RO systems
- The Fleck 5800 valve Series includes now 2 new hydraulic bases and a new touch screen timer, for a maximum user-friendliness and versatility
- The Evolio softener, drawn to provide the market with a visually pleasing product, owns an innovative salt lid compartment which can be delicately opened with a simple touch.
On the e-tools, besides a new EMEA website and several apps, Pentair Water Purification will be unveiling the “Scan & Service” app. This new concept is based on the technology of augmented reality, that allows installers to find out everything about products just by scanning a special sticker on the product with their own smartphone.
Visitors of Aquatech Amsterdam will be able to find out more about these innovations, products, services, and technologies at Pentair booth 332 in hall 1 in Amsterdam RAI.

The final version of the Horizon 2020 2016-2017 research plan was adopted the previous week and is now available via the H2020 participant portal. The European Commission will boost competitiveness, by investing almost €16 billion in research and innovation projects in the next two years under Horizon 2020.
In line with Commissioner Moedas’ strategic priorities, “Open Science, Open Innovation, Open to the World,” the new Work Programme offers funding opportunities through a range of calls for proposals, public procurements and other actions covering nearly 600 topics. The main emphasis is on large scale pilots with a cross-sectorial approach.
WssTP has made a thorough analysis of all available H2020 2016-2017 Work Programmes and has identified 94 calls with a potential link to water. A brief overview of these water-relevant calls has become available to all WssTP members through the platform’s online networking tool, WssTP Observatory.
