Membrane technology

We develop the optimised membrane process for concentration and purification of your product and we build membrane laboratory, pilot and production units. Out customers are mainly chemical and pharmaceutical companys but also other industries and universities.

 

	microfiltration,autoclavable		working principle cross-flow filtration (diafiltration mode)

Working principle of cross-flow filtration:

A feed solution or suspension is pumped under pressure over a membrane. This membrane is selectively retaining the desired components. The product can be the permeate or retentate.
Membrane processes often offer the more efficient process alternative for separations: combined cleaning and concentration of suspensions or solutions, separation of solvents, desalination, gas separation or solvent recovery.

Separation range of reverse osmosis, nano-, ultra- and microfiltration:

Advantages of membrane processes:

• Modular design
• Closed, sterile system
• Low energy consumption
• Low process temperatures, mild production conditions
• Complete automatisation possible including CIP

Innovations:

Our new filtration principle (patent pending): micro-, ultra-, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis - without cross-flow, low energy consumption, can be used for shear sensitive products

Our services - your advantage:

You want innovation, speed, flexibility and low fixed costs. You are focussed on your core business - you are consulting specialists as required.
PS Prozesstechnik GmbH disposes of broad knowledge in membrane technology and the necessary pilot equipment - With the first contact we can assist you with your application, a few lab tests confirm the feasibility of the application, a pilot test confirms data on scale-up and costs.
Numerous membrane manufacturers worldwide offer a multitude of membranes. The market for membrane technology has grown recently with 10% p.a. to about 10 billion $. We are working with a broad range of commercially available membranes from different suppliers. If necessary we discuss special module constructions with suppliers.

Project examples:

We would like to show you the way we are working on two examples: a screening project and the development of a membrane process including engineering for a production plant.
