Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What operating pressures can this RO testing system achieve?
A: The tabletop RO system is designed for pressures up to 69 bar (1000 psi), suitable for testing both low-pressure and high-pressure reverse osmosis membranes used in brackish water and seawater desalination applications.
Q: What parameters does the DAQ system record?
A: The integrated DAQ system continuously logs transmembrane pressure (TMP), feed and permeate flow rates, feed and permeate conductivity, temperature, and calculated parameters such as water flux (LMH) and salt rejection percentage.
Q: Can this system test both flat sheet and spiral wound RO membranes?
A: The tabletop system is configured for flat sheet membrane coupons. For spiral wound element testing, see our RO Pilot Scale systems which accommodate standard 2.5-inch and 4-inch spiral wound membrane housings.
Q: How does this system compare to pilot-scale RO testing systems?
A: The tabletop system is ideal for initial membrane screening and characterization at lab scale. For process scale-up validation and long-term fouling studies, Tech Inc. offers pilot-scale RO systems with higher flow capacities and industrial-grade components.
Q: What membrane cell sizes are available?
A: Tech Inc. offers flat sheet membrane test cells in various active areas to suit different research requirements. Custom cell dimensions can be engineered to accommodate specific membrane coupon sizes used in your laboratory.
