Also in the collaboration with the en.sur.e. water lab supervised by Prof. Alberto Tiraferri, we host a number of membrane separation setups of different nature and sizes. At the moment, the available systems include:
- nanofiltration/reverse osmosis (NF/RO) cross-flow setups for small flat sheet polymeric samples
- NF/RO dead-end setup for small flat sheet polymeric or ceramic samples
- forward osmosis (FO) setup for small flat sheet polymeric samples
- FO setup for medium-sized flat sheet polymeric samples
- ultrafiltration/microfiltration (UF/MF) setup for small flat sheet polymeric samples
- UF/MF setup housing one tubular ceramic module (1 meter)
- direct contact membrane distillation (MD) setup for medium size polymeric samples
- direct contact MD setup for small size polymeric samples
These systems are available to test samples from Politecnico di Torino or from external collaborators. Contact us if you are interested in using our setups.
We are planning the acquisition of pilot scale setups soon.
