La description

With a membrane area of only 336 cm? the Alfa Laval LabUnit M10 is the smallest and most compact of the cross-flow membrane filtration plants offered by Alfa Laval for ultrafiltration and microfiltration. It is a fully integrated system and a popular choice for educational purposes and research and development work Fully integrated, easy-to-use laboratory equipment for membrane filtration
  • Flexible, fully integrated, comprising an Alfa Laval LabStak® M10 completed with necessary pump, pipework, valves, heat exchanger & instrumentation
  • Easy exchange of membranes, simultaneous test of two different membrane types
  • Transparent plate for observation of cross-flow, flow pattern is similar to that of larger modules
  • High operating temperature (80°C)
  • Small test media volume
The Alfa Laval LabUnit M10 is an extremely versatile laboratory unit for process development and optimization, scale-up as well as training purposes. The flexibility to install and test two different membranes simultaneously makes it an efficient tool for initial membrane selection. It can be used with the complete range of flat sheet membranes offered by Alfa Laval for ultrafiltration and microfiltration. All components in compliance with FDA and EEC regulations, allowing use within food and pharmaceutical processing applications. Alfa Laval LabStak® M10 The Alfa Laval LabStak® M10 unit installed in the Alfa Laval LabUnit M10 is also available as a separate test unit for the same applications as the Alfa Laval LabUnit M10, and with the same distinct properties.

How it works Flow diagram of typical installation A plate-and-frame unit is designed with open channels across the membrane surface. The feed stream/retentate flows through these. The membrane itself is supported by hollow plates with numerous slots that allow the permeate to collect and be removed from the unit via the permeate collecting tubes. Plate-and-frame units use the membrane itself, aided by lock rings or strips, to seal off the feed/retentate from mixing into the permeate channels. This also prevents any leaks from the plate stack itself. ''
