The Convertible Skid is specifically designed as a high-pressure system for pressure-driven membrane filtration (such as Reverse Osmosis), that can be easily converted to perform either osmotically-driven (such as Forward Osmosis) or temperature-driven (such as Membrane Distillation) processes without the need for any additional parts or equipment. Research priorities evolve over time and lab space is limited; this system offers a unique, flexible solution for academic and industrial scientists with dynamic filtration needs.
Each Convertible Skid is highly customizable regarding membrane test cell type and flow configurations. Configured with both high and low-pressure circulation lines, it can be used for a wide variety of applications: processing of water and wastewater, food processing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, removing organic and heavy metals, and other concentration or separation membrane filtration processes such as reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultra and microfiltration, forward osmosis, and membrane distillation.
