Nanofiltration/RO pilot plant available for hire
After pioneering the development of organic solvent nanofiltration processes for the fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals industry, MET unveils a new, state-of-the-art solvent nanofiltration pilot plant
Using these membranes is a proven technology for reducing yield penalties associated with repeated extractions or chromatographic methods, and as such can add value to many processes in the pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals industry.
They are at the heart of the world's first solvent nanofiltration plant operating globally, the Grace Davison Max-Dewax process to recover solvents from lube oils.
Their potential applications include Solvent Exchanges, Phase Transfer Catalyst Recycle, Organometallic Catalyst Recycle, Organics Recovery, Product Purification and Impurity Removal.
As well as supplying the membranes, MET offers unparalleled expertise on the technology and its use, based on several years of research experience.
MET specialist engineers can design and install three scales of operation: lab, cross-flow rig, and plant-scale.
MET will also be using ACHEMA to unveil a new product designed to empower chemists to test OSN applications on the benchtop - for more details, watch this space!.
