PENTAIR INNOVATION HONORED AT 2013 AQUATECH AMSTERDAM
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wastewater treatment technology reclaims energy; uses water resources more
effectively
AMSTERDAM - 5 November 2013 - Today Pentair, a global water, fluid, thermal
management and equipment protection company, announced that it received an
Aquatech Innovation Award for the Memthane(TM) Anaerobic Membrane Bio-Reactor
(MBR), a joint innovation between Pentair and Veolia Biothane. Aquatech
Amsterdam is the world's top trade exhibition for process, drinking and waste
water technology.
A wastewater treatment technology, the Memthane Anaerobic MBR uniquely addresses
the challenge of producing energy more efficiently and using water resources
more effectively. The technology reclaims energy from wastewater streams and
converts it into biogas, which can then be used as an energy source by the
production facility. Additionally, the effluent, or waste water that is
produced, is of such a high standard that it can either be discharged or reused.
The technology can be used in industries such as distilleries, dairies and bio-
ethanol production.
"We are honored to be recognized by the industry for our innovative technology,"
said Netha Johnson, President, Pentair Filtration and Process. "At Pentair, we
strive to continually push the boundaries of innovation to help our customers
get more energy and efficiencies from each drop of water."
The Aquatech exhibition is a part of International Water Week Amsterdam, which
brings together the international community to explore practical solutions to
various global water issues. A key event during the conference is the Industrial
Leaders Forum on November 7. Leading figures, including Todd Gleason, Pentair's
Senior Vice President of Growth, will come together to discuss integrated water
solutions for a green economy and present practical solutions to resolve the
ever challenging water demands around the world.
"At Pentair, we innovate around the interconnection of food, water and energy,"
said Gleason. "Water is critical to producing food and creating energy, and
energy is essential to the movement, filtration and reuse of water. We help our
customers do more with existing critical resources, working to achieve more
effective methods and sustainable outcomes."
In addition to the Memthane Anaerobic MBR, Pentair's Aquatech Amsterdam 2013
highlighted innovations include:
Color Removal Package (CRP): A finalist in the Innovation Awards' Water
Treatment category, Pentair's latest nanofiltration technology is highly
effective in the removal of Natural Organic Matter (NOM) in fresh water. The
CRP's hollow fiber membrane delivers many advantages compared to conventional
technologies, including a 99.999 percent reduction of bacteria and viruses, a
single-step pre-treatment process and a simplified treatment operation system.
Green Reverse Osmosis (RO): This high efficiency RO membrane is capable of
greater than 50 percent recovery while maintaining similar performance as a
standard RO membrane running at less than 30 percent recovery.
SimpliFlow Water Management System: Comprised of single, twin and quad manifolds
with a mounting bracket, this system provides easy management and identification
of water lines for easier and faster maintenance of foodservice water-using
equipment.
Hybrid DI System: Combines the benefits of an RO system and a water softener
without using salt. Pentair skillfully adapted the patented Voltea charge
barrier technology within this system for commercial uses where cost and space
limitations are key considerations.
At Aquatech, Pentair is also featuring water technology solutions from brands
across the company's portfolio including X-Flow, Codeline, Fleck, Shurflo,
Everpure, Haffmans, Fairbanks Nijhuis, Keystone, Sapag and Biffi.
Aquatech Innovation Awards
A total of 60 entries were assessed by an independent jury of international
specialists across five categories for the 2013 award, including Wastewater
Treatment, Water Treatment, Transport & Storage, Process Control Technology &
Process Automation and Innovation Not To Market Yet. Originality of the product,
feasibility (technical, economic, reliability) and sustainability (environment,
safety, and energy efficiency) are the three key criteria used to select the
nominated products. Pentair's X-Flow-branded Color Removal Package from Advanced
Water Technologies was also a finalist in the Water Treatment category. In
2011, Pentair won the Innovation Award for its Fairbanks Nijhuis-branded fish-
friendly pump.
