ZELIX Basics
The technological basics of ZELIX as dynamic crossflow membrane system have been consistently developed for maximum dynamic effect - with reduced mechanical stress and energy consumption at the same time. The crossflow function depends on the turbulence of flow: the viscosity, the velocity of liquids and geometry of space. The focus of Pantreon on geometry, on calculation and design of flow spaces improves the dynamic effect of velocity and reduces mechanical stress and energy consumption.
ZELIX’ filter modules consist of trapezoid shaped filter discs and are mounted on rotating ring(s). This provides high shear forces, intensive and persistent turbulence on the entire membrane surface through

NEW FILTER TECHNOLOGY
NEW FLOW TECHNOLOGY
NEW ROTATION TECHNOLOGY
NEW HELIX4D FLOW TECHNOLOGY
The ZELIX FILTER TECHNOLOGY
increases the filter area by 40 % through trapezoid disc design and increased number of discs
increases the performance of membranes
has optimized hydrodynamic design
reduces the mechanical stress
reduces the energy consumption
The ZELIX FLOW TECHNOLOGY
increases the dynamics of turbulent flow on the membranes
directs + focuses the turbulent flow to the filter modules and reduces dynamic loss off the membranes
reduces the energy consumption and the mechanical stress on substances
The ZELIX ROTATION TECHNOLOGY
By segmentation of the filter area into smaller modules the rotation speeds and rotation directions can be adapted over the rotor radii in ZELIX membrane system.
The principle of dynamic balance makes possible uniform flow conditions over the entire filter surface.
HELIX4D FLOW TECHNOLOGY - exchange of concentrations by 4 FLOW DIRECTIONS
Selected INCLINATION of filter discs results in consecutive UPWARD pointing tendency through adjacent filter modules.
The filter modules are fixed on rotating ring resulting in high-turbulent flow on the membranes of the filter discs. The selected inclination of the filter discs forces the high-turbulent flow into a strong upward direction.
Even in installations with large filter area the innovative ZELIX design results in high turbulence through dynamic cross flow over the complete membrane surface.
The unique vertical flow direction of HELIX4D leads to intensive exchange of concentrations, even in high viscous fluids and substance content.
