The RO/UF unit has an efficient clean-in-place facility and is easily dismantled for servicing or maintenance. Comprehensive instrumentation is provided with digital meters displaying temperatures and system pressure. This is fully self-contained in a mobile cabinet. All parts in contact with the process fluid are constructed from hygienic design materials such as stainless steel, PTFE and silicone rubber.

Connection to cooling water and a suitable electrical supply is all that is required for normal operation.

In addition to the membrane module, the cabinet also houses feed and permeate tanks, a plate heat exchanger and positive displacement pumps. It uses a  membrane module which accommodates all PCI membrane types. Membranes can be installed or removed rapidly for use in either process. The unit is supplied with a pack of both R.O. membranes and U.F. membranes.

The filtration membranes differ only in length and quantity from those installed in the full-scale plant. 

Using small quantities of process fluid, operating parameters can be established and then optimized to effect a confident transition to full-scale.
