Ultrafiltration

Model GPB UF1

The study of a filtration system (microfiltration) that utilizes a membrane. Process of separation using a membrane under pressure which holds back dissolved particles and macromolecules found in the fluid. May run continuously. The unit is delivered complete with instrumentation and with technical documentation and instructions. Fluid size : between 2nm and 0.1 µm DIMENSIONS Length : 800 mm Width : 1 100 mm Height : 1 500 mm Weight : 150 kg

Application

Study of the process of ultrafiltration Determination of the various phases of ultrafiltration Determination of the retaining rate of the membrane Influence of supply velocity Matter balance Flow state : verification of the law of DARCY Study of the penetrability of the membrane
