GET SPINNING WITH HELIX
In many parts of the world, water scarcity is a growing issue. In order to secure future access to reliable water sources, crucial reuse and filtration opportunities have to be seized today.

Upgrade your smooth tubular membranes with Helix membranes for higher flux, lower operational costs and reduced chemical usage.

Environmental impact
Minimize environmental harm through membrane filtration by reducing chemical usage, conserving energy and water, reducing pollution, and fostering sustainability.
Energy Savings
Compared to traditional crossflow systems with smooth membranes Helix membranes create more turbulence at lower crossflow velocities, saving energy.
Less cleaning
Helix membranes require less frequent cleaning due to their enhanced fouling resistance. This reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
Benefits
Retrofittable Design
Helix seamlessly integrate into existing systems at any lifecycle stage, offering easy upgrades and enhancing performance and sustainability.
Higher productivity, lower energy
Up to 100% higher productivity and up to 50% lower energy consumption to save on operational costs.
Helps prevent fouling
The turbulence created by Helix minimizes fouling and reduces maintenance needs.
Why Choose Pentair?
Long History
With in-house membrane expertise since 1984, our trusted membrane membranefiltration technology has been refined over decades.
Worldwide installations
Today X-Flow membranes are applied all over the globe, in drinking water plants, in wastewater recycling and reuse, and in a wide range of industrial applications.
Patented Technology
After extensive research, the Pentair R&D team developed the patented Helix Technology.
Scientific Results
The introduction of helically wound ridges delivers enhanced mixing and high turbulence at a low additional energy consumption, so that these membranes can yield a productivity increase of up to 100 percent or reduce energy costs by 50 percent (by using lower cross-flow velocities), depending on the feed characteristics.

Scientific research
Ghent University
Pentair successfully introduced its Helix technology to optimize productivity and long-term membrane performance. The flux-enhancing technology reduces fouling and saves energy. It does so by preventing the buildup of foulants into a cake layer, which would otherwise quickly reduce the hydraulic permeability of membranes.
