Membrane Filtration Pilot Trials
Pilot trials provide the most accurate method of assessing how membrane filtration technology will perform under real-world conditions. They are the most reliable way to evaluate separation performance, process viability, system design parameters and the operational economics of liquid filtration systems.
Axium Process delivers a comprehensive support package for process investigation and optimisation under fully controlled conditions. Our range of mobile membrane filtration plants, prefiltration units, heating and mixing skids, along with in-house laboratory services and a dedicated wet test facility, provides a robust research platform for businesses evaluating membrane technology.
What Our Pilot Trials Include
- Collaborative research and development for innovative filtration, separation and concentration applications
- Membrane selection and supply tailored to your feed stream and process goals, including side-by-side comparative trials
- Experienced test engineers who identify key performance characteristics, limitations and optimisation criteria
- Detailed trial reports containing operational data, conclusions and processing insights, plus representative samples for further independent testing
- Local or remote trial support with a dedicated engineer on-hand throughout the process
These services are designed to reduce risk, optimise design, and provide the insight required to make informed decisions prior to full-scale investment.
Typical Applications
Our team conducts pilot trials across a wide range of sectors including pharmaceutical, food, beverage, dairy and chemical manufacturing. The goal is to determine if membrane filtration is a cost-effective and technically suitable solution for each application.
Examples include:
- Wastewater recycling and reuse
- Dairy protein and fat fractionation
- Cell harvesting and recovery
- Liquid clarification
- Extract filtration
- Protein separation and concentration
- Dilute sugar stream concentration
- Desalting and concentration of dyes
- Precursor purification for fine chemical production
- Final filtration of bottled water
- Recovery of valuable cleaning chemicals
- Enzyme concentration
- Fruit juice purification and clarification
Pilot trials form a vital part of the process development cycle. They ensure your membrane system is correctly specified, thoroughly tested and aligned with your production goals before committing to full-scale installation.
