HIS Reverse Osmosis and Ultrafiltration Unit (Model: FD 01) has been designed to demonstrate a
separation technique using membrane. Membrane separations are becoming increasingly popular as
they provide effective separation without the use of heating energy as in distillation processes. Heat
sensitive materials, such as fruit juices, can be separated or concentrated by virtue of their molecular weights. The
unit allows students or researchers to carry out two membrane processes that are most widely used in biotechnology
and process industries, namely the ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO).

FEATURES

EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES

A higher overall liquid removal rate is achieved

by preventing solid build-up on membrane surface.
The concentrate (retentate) remains in a mobile
form suitable for further processing.
The solute content of the concentrate may be
varied over a wide range.
It may be possible to fractionate solutes of different
sizes.

Concentration of fruit juices
Desalination of water
It is also possible to demonstrate the effect of varying
the following process parameters on separation

Equipment for Engineering Education

This self-contained unit on a mobile epoxy coated mild

steel framework requires only connection to a suitable
electricity supply and a normal cold water supply to
be fully operational. The flow circuit consists of a feed
tank, a feed pump, membrane modules, a
backpressure valve, a heat exchanger and a permeate
collecting tank. All parts in contact with the process
fluid are stainless steel, PTFE, silicone rubber or nitrile
rubber.
The unit comes with a high-pressure triple plunger
pump for delivering the feed to the membrane unit at
the desired flow rate and pressure. The feed and
product tanks are fitted with cooling coil, which if
necessary, shall be attached to a water bath system
(not supplied) for cooling purposes. The ultrafiltration
retentate line is equipped with a plate heat exchanger
for heating or cooling purposes. Appropriate sensors
for flow, pressure and temperature are installed at
strategic locations for process monitoring.
