R&D Labs · Membranes
Membrane Testing & Characterization
A membrane that performs on a clean lab solution can still fail on a real stream. We test membranes on the client feed and measure what actually matters: flux, rejection, selectivity, and how each holds up over time. The result is a qualified membrane choice rather than a hopeful one.
What you get
The shape of the deliverable.
Outcomes our customers see when this scope is on our floor. Specific, repeatable, and held against the same quality system across the company.
- Qualified on your stream
- Membranes are screened against the actual feed, so performance numbers reflect the duty they will run.
- Selectivity, not just flux
- Separation factor
- We measure what a separation is paid for, the split between components, alongside throughput.
- Life before scale-up
- Ageing and cleaning behavior are characterized before a design commits to a membrane and a replacement interval.

Frequently asked
Common questions on this scope.
Can you test our existing membranes, not just yours?
Yes. We benchmark third-party and incumbent membranes on the same rig and feed, which gives a like-for-like comparison rather than a vendor data sheet.
How long does a characterization program take?
Short screening runs take days. Stability and ageing work runs longer because the point is to observe behavior over time. We scope duration to the question you need answered.
