Membrane Housings and Elements
Operated in a tangential flow (crossflow) system, membrane elements are perfect for scaling up from flat sheet membranes to conduct more comparative testing prior to pilot scale. Ideal for small-scale production, feasibility studies, and product or process development. Elements should be tested under a combination of feed flow rates, permeate flux, operating pressure, and temperature in order to determine optimal application conditions
Stainless steel 316, FRP and PVC housings for the spiral wound membrane elements are available.
| Material | Features | Applications | Pore Size (μm) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | May be operated under a wide combination of feed flow rates, permeate flux, and operating pressure or temperature in order to mimic operating conditions | Small-scale production, feasibility studies, and product or process development | N/A | |
 | Standard design that can be used with commercially available standard 1812 spiral wound elements from different manufacturers | Feasibility or pilot studies, process development, small to average scale production | N/A | |
 | May contain different membrane configurations, including hollow fiber, flat sheet or tubular membranes | Good for small-scale production, feasibility studies, and product or process development. | N/A | |
 | Compact for optimal lab use and have the ability to withstand many repeated autoclave and chemical (EtO) sterilization cycles. | Ideal for use with operating processes that require longevity, resistance to aggressive solvents, or superior temperature tolerance. | N/A | |
 | Compact size and low hold-up volume make them versatile in any lab setting performing environmental or bio-industry applications. | Ideal for microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and fine ultrafiltration applications, both housings operate in cross/tangential flow filtration and are perfect for processing small volumes. | N/A |
