Testing membrane technology at your site or at our pilot facilities
We provide small-scale modules, units and membrane pilot plants for testing membrane filtration equipment and solutions on-site (rental or purchase) in connection with other process equipment. Our range of small-scale units and pilot plants is based on the unique plate-and-frame modules or the full-fit sanitary spiral elements or a combination of both. Sizes vary from only a few liters of test media volume in our LabUnits up to 1,000 liters in our PilotUnits. Designed for rapid delivery and long-term reliability, Alfa Laval's test equipment includes all key components – tank, pump, heat exchanger, valves, instrumentation and control.
We also do testing at our own state-of-the-art Membrane and Application Development Test Centre in Nakskov, Denmark. In both cases, we provide highly skilled process consultancy services.
