Model R Membrane Filtration Pilot Plant

The Model R membrane filtration pilot plant is a flexible unit to perform pilot studies on the full range of membrane filtration technologies (Membrane Filtration, Ultra Filtration, Nano Filtration and Reverse Osmosis) under a wide range of operating conditions.

Model R Membrane Filtration Plant

The pilot plant's standard configuration allows for testing with either spiral, polymeric membranes, or tubular, ceramic membranes. It can also be setup with other membrane configurations.

The pilot plant can be operated in batch mode, semi-batch mode, or feed and bleed mode. The pilot plant design has a single stage recirculation loop.

The Model R membrane filtration pilot plant is skid mounted and will be delivered with all the components required for quick installation and easy operation, including an operating manual with data sheet templates.
