Laboratory crossflow filtration test system
In laboratory settings, conducting comprehensive filtration tests requires reliable methods for evaluating filtration behavior under varying conditions. Understanding critical parameters such as thickening, washing, and classification is essential for effective filtration system design.
Evaluates filtration behavior using crossflow techniques
The BoCross Test by BOKELA is a laboratory-scale test system designed for dynamic crossflow filtration. Utilizing small sample quantities (1 to 40 liters), it assesses filtration behavior under both continuous and discontinuous operations. The test system supports various filter media including polymer membranes, metal mesh, and ceramic membranes, allowing for versatility in testing different suspensions. The portable design fits into confined spaces like fume cupboards. Key features include the efficient prevention of solid deposits through shear stress effects, rapid change of filter media, and straightforward handling. It operates under pressures up to 10 bar and temperatures up to 170 °C for the complete version. The system captures essential data for filtration evaluations such as pressure, rotor speed, concentration range, and flow rate.
