Membrane R&D Systems
We design and deliver the tools for membrane trials, process development and industrial scale-up.
Test small — Measure precisely — Scale with confidence.

From Scale-Down System to Industrial Membrane Plant
A useful laboratory system reproduces the relevant mechanisms of the later industrial process: transmembrane pressure, flow regime, membrane area, concentration factor, temperature, residence time, sample handling and cleaning. The aim is to generate experimental data that support engineering decisions.
Membrane process development therefore requires more than a single test device. It requires a coherent experimental system combining membrane module, pump, instrumentation, balance, sampler, data acquisition and documentation.
