Filter Membrane Compatibility and Studies

International Products Corp.’s research laboratory is now capable of performing filter membrane compatibility and performance studies using a versatile lab filtration system. According to the company, it now has the ability to evaluate any type of membrane media, from UF to RO, and its interaction with different cleaners, with the goal of being able to recommend the most effective cleaner for a specific application.

According to the company, a matched specialty cleaner that pushes the flux recovery performance higher by even a few tenths of a percent translates into thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of gallons of additional, successfully-processed water, extended membrane life, reduced downtime, and lower operating costs. The lab unit can be tailored to mimic real-life filtration scenarios.
