New Membrane Process Evaluation Facilities from Axium Process

Axium Process’ range of mobile membrane filtration plants together with its process database is now available for customers wishing to  evaluate membrane technology.  The pilot plants can be used for both “in-process” operations or for waste stream concentration or purification.  The company specialises in separation applications utilising microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis technologies.

Membrane evaluation trials, using one of Axium’s dedicated pilot plants, can be carried out either at the customer’s site or at Axium’s 10,000 sq ft customised factory.  The company’s team of highly skilled engineers specialise in the design, testing, in house fabrication and commissioning of customised membrane filtration systems.  They can also offer membrane related product and process development, technical and training support.

Membrane filtration has become a proven technology, and membranes have become more robust and less expensive over the past decade.  Membrane processes offer enormous potential for cost savings in terms of reduced water and energy costs, water recovery, effluent treatment, product recovery and diversification of products.

As well as the manufacture of membrane filtration systems, Axium Process also provides special component customisation, frameworks and fully integrated customised manual/automatic hygienic process plant and manufactures its own range of stainless steel filters, sample valves and sightglasses.
