Capabilities

Hydro Air - Membrane Separation Systems

Pilot Plant Capabilities

Continuous planned and consistent development is required to provide answers to complex problems and to keep up with state of art technologies.
Hydroair provides test facilities and pilot plants for feasibility studies, bench tests, and semi-industrial tests.
Our pilot units vary from different scale and offer a wide range of capacities, depending on the application performed. The pilot equipment can simulate the operating behavior of full-scale production and can be adapted to run according to customer needs.
The phases of the pilot plant design are defined as follows:

  • Consultation with major process engineering companies
  • Design – creating process flow diagrams, P&ID’s and specifying the basic system components
  • Advanced 3D modeling and process simulation
  • Controls engineering
  • Fabrication and assembly of the process module(s) begins after final design is completed
  • Startup: Unit is fully installed and commissioned with full documentation and training for operators and maintenance personnel

We also provide a complete support service for the preliminary feasibility of process tests to define:

  • qualitative assessment of separation performance
  • chemical compatibility
  • operating parameters
  • preliminary membrane choice
  • useful data for scaling up industrial plants
  • economic definition of industrial processes to determine the large-scale operation and capital costs required

Testing of the pilot plant at the customer site is recommended to generate data under real conditions in the field.

Research & Development

R&D provide up-to-date answers to complex problems.

Planned and consistent research and development is required to provide answers to complex problems and to keep up with the latest technologies.

Hydroair has well-equipped facilities that enable testing and feasibility studies to be carried out by simulating most process conditions, from small volume feasibility assessments to large-scale optimization trials.

Feasibility study benefit

• On-site laboratories and pilot tests
• Process performance and economic evaluation
• Use of alternative technologies and final report
 

Process Design & Engineering
