Membranes

Advanced Membrane Distillation and Pervaporation

Membrane distillation (MD) is a membrane-based separation and concentration process driven by a vapor pressure (temperature) gradient between the feed and permeate sides of a hydrophobic membrane. In other words, membrane distillation is a thermally driven separation process in which separation occurs due to a phase change.

Feed Tank Volume: 5 liters (standard), up to 50 liters (optional)Maximum Concentration: Up to 200,000 ppm (NaCl equivalent)

Membranes

Advanced Membrane Distillation Machine

The PMI Advanced Membrane Machine is designed to measure the rate of water production from saline solutions under a wide range of experimental conditions, including pressure, flow rate, and temperature. The system enables the collection of purified water under flowing liquid, flowing gas, or vacuum conditions.

Flow Rate: Up to 9.6 gallons/minPressure Range: Up to 120 psi
