Pentair Innovation Honored at 2017 Aquatech Amsterdam
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Bi-Directional Tidal Turbine generates energy from tidal streams; nearly 100
percent fish-friendly
AMSTERDAM - 31 October 2017 - Pentair, a global leader in sustainable water
solutions, was honored as an Aquatech Innovation Award finalist for its energy-
generating Bi-Directional Tidal Turbine. Amsterdam International Water Week and
Aquatech, taking place October 31 - November 3, is the world's top trade
exhibition for process, drinking and waste water technology.
Not yet to market, the Pentair Fairbanks Nijhuis Bi-Directional Tidal Turbine
generates energy from the tide through "dynamic tidal power," an emerging
technology that Pentair helped develop. The Bi-Directional Tidal Turbine, which
features blades that can rotate 180 degrees when the tide is reversing, provides
optimal performance in both flow directions to generate maximum energy.
Utilizing technology from Pentair's fish-friendly pump, winner of the Aquatech
Innovation Award in 2011, the fish friendliness of the Bi-Directional Tidal
Turbine has been tested and proven-with 100 percent of eels and 99.9 percent of
scale fish passing the turbine unharmed. A live demo of the Bi-Directional
Turbine is available at the Pentair stand during Aquatech.
"At Pentair, we strive to continually push the boundaries of innovation and we
are honored to be recognized by the industry," said Phil Rolchigo, Pentair Chief
Technology Officer. "We believe the Bi-Directional Tidal Turbine is an important
opportunity, from both a business perspective as well as a much broader global
energy perspective, to truly make a difference."
Aquatech attendees can visit the Pentair stand in Hall 1, #332. Showcased brands
across the company's portfolio include Pentair Autotrol, Pentair Codeline,
Pentair Everpure, Pentair Fairbanks Nijhuis, Pentair Fleck, and Pentair X-Flow.
In addition to the Bi-Directional Tidal Turbine, Pentair's Aquatech Amsterdam
2017 highlighted innovations include:
* Advanced Filtration Solutions - For industrial processing and wastewater
treatment, Pentair X-Flow will showcase its latest advanced filtration
technologies. The breakthrough Helix tubular membrane-based wastewater
solution helps to prevent the buildup of insoluble particles in high-solids
ultrafiltration while increasing productivity up to 100 percent and lowering
energy consumption by up to 50 percent. The new Compact 55G Helix offers
greater efficiency and versatility for customers looking to boost existing
plant performance. A renewed range of Aqualine cartridges and housings,
already widely used in Reverse Osmosis pretreatment systems, offer a small
footprint with greater productivity for water treatment across a range of
industries.
* Water Purification Solutions -For residential and commercial applications,
Pentair will showcase its solutions aimed at helping water treatment
professionals in their daily business. The high performance Pentair Fleck
5800 Valve Series platform is comprised of three valves, each being able to
accommodate several different timers. This allows professional to cover a
wide variety of filtration or softening applications by simply trading a
standard timer against a more performant one. The Scan & Service mobile app,
based on the technology of augmented reality, allows installers to learn
product details and specifications simply by scanning a special sticker on
the product with their smartphone.
Aquatech Innovation Awards
The Aquatech Innovation Award has five categories: Innovation - not yet to
market; Process control technology & process automation; Transport & storage;
Waste water treatment; and Water treatment (drinking water, clean water,

of entries. The judging criteria are originality (50 percent), practicality (25
percent) and sustainability (25 percent). Pentair has previously been honored
with Aquatech Innovation Awards in 2013 for its Memthane Anaerobic Membrane Bio-
Reactor (MBR), a joint innovation with Veolia Biothene, and in 2011 for its
fish-friendly pump.
