MEMBRANE TEST UNIT

MODEL: TR 14

HIS Membrane Test Unit (Model: TR 14) has been designed to demonstrate the technique of membrane separations which has become highly popular as they provide effective separation without the use of heating energy as in distillation processes. Heat sensitive materials, such as fruit juices, can be separated or concentrated by virtue of their molecular weights. The unit consists of a test module supplied with four different membranes, namely the reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), ultrafiltration (UF) and microfiltration (MF) membranes, thus allowing students or researchers to carry out membrane separation processes that are most widely used in the food, dairy, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

This self-contained unit on a mobile epoxy coated steel framework, requires only connection to a suitable electricity supply and a normal cold water supply to be fully operational. It consists of a feed tank, a product tank, a feed pump, a pressure regulator, a water bath, and a membrane test module. All parts in contact with the process fluid are stainless steel, PTFE, silicone rubber or nitrile rubber.

The unit comes with a high pressure feed pump for delivering the feed to the membrane unit at the desired flow rate and pressure. The retentate line can be either returned to the feed tank or straight to the drain. Appropriate sensors for flow, pressure and temperature are installed at strategic locations for process monitoring and data acquisitions.
