Model L Membrane Filtration Pilot Plant

Model L Membrane Filtration Plant

The Model L membrane filtration pilot plant is designed for performing preliminary membrane screening tests for all membrane filtration technologies (Membrane Filtration, Ultra Filtration, Nano Filtration and Reverse Osmosis) quickly and economically on small volumes of feed material.

These tests will answer the following questions:

• Can membrane filtration generate the desired product?
• Which membrane(s) provide the most desirable performance characteristics?
• What are the approximate operating and performance parameters?

The Model L utilizes the M20 Lab Module™ for performing flat sheet membrane tests. Membranes with different pore sizes and materials of construction can be tested during the same pilot run, allowing for a direct and accurate comparison of the performance characteristics of these membranes.

The Model L also includes a 2.5" diameter spiral membrane housing for performing small scale spiral membrane tests.

The pilot plant operates in batch or fed batch mode. The Model L pilot plant is cart mounted on wheels for ease of setup and operation.

The Model L pilot plant will be delivered with all the required components including membranes, operating manual, and data sheet template.
