Industrial membrane processes are developed step by step. A laboratory membrane system helps identify membrane type, operating pressure, temperature, flux, retention, fouling behaviour and cleaning strategy before a process is transferred to a larger pilot plant or production system.
Messinger Engineering develops and supplies R&D systems for membrane technology, including laboratory stirred cells, process balances, pumps, samplers, sensors, ceramic membrane test systems and pilot plants. These systems support experimental process development for food engineering, biotechnology, fermentation processes, water treatment, chemical applications and industrial separation processes.
Membrane Processes & Applications
Typical Development Questions
From Scale-Down System to Industrial Membrane Plant
A useful laboratory system represents the relevant mechanisms of the later industrial process. This includes transmembrane pressure, flow regime, membrane area, concentration factor, temperature, residence time, sample handling and cleaning procedure. The aim is to generate experimental data that can support engineering decisions for pilot plants and production systems.
For this reason, membrane process development requires more than a single test device. It requires a coherent experimental system: membrane module, pump, pressure measurement, temperature control, balance, sampler, data acquisition and documentation. Messinger Engineering combines these elements into laboratory and pilot systems for process scaling engineering.
