Description
Technical Description:
The Reverse Osmosis (RO) unit utilizes semi-permeable membranes to remove a wide range of contaminants, including salts, organic molecules, and heavy metals from water. Ultrafiltration (UF), on the other hand, uses a membrane with larger pore sizes to separate suspended solids, colloids, and macromolecules from water. The combination of both systems allows users to compare the efficiency of these filtration techniques for different water treatment applications.
The pilot plant includes a feed water tank, pre-treatment systems, and separate membranes for RO and UF filtration. It features a digital control system for monitoring and adjusting key operational parameters, including flow rate, pressure, temperature, and recovery rate. Data acquisition software is integrated for real-time tracking and analysis, ensuring precise control over the filtration process.
The system is designed for scalability, enabling researchers to scale up from pilot to full-scale applications, as well as optimize operational conditions for membrane longevity and filtration efficiency.
