Descripción

The Alfa Laval TestUnit M20 is a fully integrated plate-and-frame system. It can be used for research and development, educational work, process optimization and up-scaling, as well as quality assurance and small-scale production. The unit can be equipped with our entire range of membranes for reverse osmosis, nanofiltration and ultrafiltration as well as microfiltration. By adding the optional M20-2.5” housing, you can also test with spiral membranes. Quick and reliable unit for R&D work, membrane testing, process optimization and up-scaling
  • Ready to run, fully integrated membrane filtration system with LabStak M20 module, pump, heat exchanger, valve, pressure gauges, hydraulic hand pump
  • Flexible – membrane areas from 0.036 m? to 0.72 m? and simultaneous test of different membrane types
  • Multiple purpose – can combine plate-and-frame and spiral wound designs in one unit
  • Convenient – separate permeate outlet from each individual membrane pair
  • Easy exchange of spiral and flat sheet membranes
The Alfa Laval TestUnit M20 can handle cross-flows of 5 to 24 l/min and is designed to operate at high temperatures and pressures. It provides quick and precise test results, while keeping equipment and set-up costs to a minimum. The compact unit comes as a fully integrated and wheeled system comprising an Alfa Laval LabStakTM M20, high-pressure pump, tank, heat exchanger, valve, pressure gauges and hydraulic hand pump for module compression. All components comply with FDA and EEC regulations, allowing use within food and pharmaceutical processing applications. . Options Alfa Laval Lab M20-2.5 housing A specially designed Alfa Laval Lab M20-2.5 housing can be inserted between the module flanges of the Alfa Laval LabStak M20. The special housing makes the Alfa Laval TestUnit M20 easily convertible into a spiral wound membrane test unit for sanitary full-fit 2.5 spiral membranes. A unique combination of plate-and-frame and spiral wound membrane technologies in one unit. Alfa Laval LabStak M20 The Alfa Laval LabStak M20 mounted in the Alfa Laval TestUnit M20 is also available as a separate test unit for the same applications as the Alfa Laval TestUnit M20, and with the same distinct properties. How it works . The Alfa Laval PilotUnit Multi comes as a skid-mounted unit and includes all necessary instruments, equipment and prefabricated piping ready for operation. All you need to do is to install and connect to the product feed, utilities and the power supply. The product enters the tank via the feed valve (with level control). It is then pumped to the membrane filtration stage where the system automatically adjusts the pump speed and maintains the required cross-flow rate to reduce fouling and ensure the smooth concentration of your product. The operator can adjust the controllers from the MemProC® PLC-based control system which includes a data logging system for the unit transmitters. The data can be downloaded to a USB.
