Filter press and microfiltration test station FP-1S/EV – a modern system for the study of different filtration processes. This station allows for the modeling and analysis of both direct filtration (filter press) and tangential filtration (microfilter). The equipment is equipped with a PID controller that allows for maintaining a constant flow rate or pressure, and the monitoring software provides remote control via a computer.
Curriculum:
The station provides the opportunity to study the following processes and parameters:
- Direct filtration using a filter press;
- Tangential filtration using a microfilter;
- Filtering characteristic equation;
- Filtration at constant flow or pressure;
- Displaying the device's operating parameters in a schematic plan in real time;
- Automatic flow and pressure control using PID controller;
- System maintenance via computer.
