Lab Scale Membrane Distillation Unit
Description: Membrane distillation (MD) is a desalination technique that uses a membrane to separate water from saline solutions. It is a thermally driven separation process, meaning that it uses heat to create a vapor pressure difference across the membrane. This vapor pressure difference is what drives the transport of water vapor through the membrane.
Overall, membrane distillation is a promising desalination technology that is becoming increasingly competitive with RO. As the technology continues to develop, MD is expected to play a more significant role in providing clean water for a growing population
Membrane Distillation Test Cell
Description: A Membrane Distillation Test Cell, also referred to as VMD (Vacuum Membrane
Distillation), AGMD (Air Gap Membrane Distillation) and MDC (Membrane Distillation
Crystallization), is a small-scale apparatus used to study the membrane distillation (MD)
process. MD is a thermally driven desalination technique that uses a membrane to separate pure
water vapor from a saline solution.
MD Test Cell is valuable for researchers and developers working on membrane distillation
technology. They are used for:
Evaluating membrane performance: Testing the effectiveness of different membranes for MD
applications.
Optimizing process conditions: Studying the effect of various factors like feed temperature,
permeate temperature, flow rates, and membrane characteristics on MD performance.
Developing new MD configurations: Investigating and testing novel MD configurations for
improved efficiency.
Lab Scale Electrocoagulation Wastewater Treatment Unit
A lab-scale electrocoagulation (EC) wastewater treatment unit is a miniature version of a system used to remove contaminants from water and wastewater using electricity. It's ideal for
researchers, and small-scale industrial applications to test and optimize the EC process for
specific wastewater streams.
Description:
The core components of a lab-scale EC unit typically include:
Reactor vessel: This tank holds the wastewater to be treated. It's often made of transparent
material for easy observation of the treatment process.
Electrodes: Two electrodes, typically made of aluminum or iron plates, are submerged in the
wastewater. One electrode is connected to the positive terminal (anode) and the other to the
negative terminal (cathode) of a power supply.
Power supply: A DC power supply provides the electrical current that drives the
electrocoagulation process.
Flocculation mechanism (optional): Some units might incorporate a stirrer or mixer to enhance
the collision and aggregation of contaminants during the process.
Sampling ports: These allow for collecting influent (untreated) and effluent (treated)
wastewater samples for analysis.
Features:
Compact size: Designed for laboratory use, these units have a small footprint and are easy to set
up and operate.
Adjustable parameters: Researchers can control various factors like voltage, current, treatment
time, and electrode material to optimize the EC process for specific contaminants.
Visible operation: The transparent reactor allows for visual monitoring of floc formation and
treatment progress.
Relatively simple setup: Lab-scale units are designed for ease of use and often require minimal
maintenance.
Polymeric Flat Sheet Membranes
Description: Flat sheet polymeric membranes are thin sheets of plastic with microscopic pores
that allow for selective separation of materials. They are widely used in a variety of applications,
including water filtration, wastewater treatment, food and beverage processing, and
pharmaceuticals.
Some of the key features of flat sheet polymeric membranes are as follows:
- High Selectivity
- High Efficiency
- Chemical Resistance
- Easy to clean
- Scalability
Overall, flat sheet polymeric membranes are a versatile and cost-effective option for a wide
range of separation processes. They offer high selectivity, efficiency, and chemical resistance,
making them well-suited for a variety of industrial and commercial applications.
