Applications

The MBR is designed for studying the selective gas permeation properties of membrane materials for separation and purification applications. It can be configured to support operation in either co-current flow mode and cross flow mode to suit specific applications requirements.

In co-current flow mode, a gas mixture is applied upstream of the membrane at a controlled pressure and composition, while a dedicated helium flow flushes the downstream side. The gas composition is then analyzed to assess the separation performance of the membrane material.

Alternatively, in cross flow mode, the MBR is operated without downstream sweep gas and the performance of the membrane is determined by comparing the downstream and upstream gas compositions.
