Test our Membrane Modules in Modern Pilot Plants

Nowadays, pilot plants are invaluable for evaluating new applications and fine-tuning the system design. Our pilot plant for wastewater and water treatment is available to our customers who wish to carry out extensive on-site tests with our ultrafiltration and microfiltration modules. This container system has a modular design and is state of the art. The pilot plant enables you to develop and test the ideal configuration for a large-scale plant. Remote monitoring allows you to track and monitor ongoing tests online, giving you maximum flexibility and control.

Plug & Play: Test a large Number of MF / UF Configurations on Site.

Our membrane modules are assembled in a container, delivered to the customer and then only require a power supply and water supply on site. We would also be happy to design your individual pilot system and provide you with our expertise during the test phase. Our experienced technicians and engineers are happy to accompany the tests and provide you with detailed evaluations and the corresponding documentation.

Applications already examined:

Filtration of the overflow of the sludge storage tank of a large municipal sewage treatment plant
Filtration of biologically treated wastewater from the textile industry (sizing)
MBR for wastewater from the chemical industry
Hydraulic optimization of an SBR reactor
Qualification of new membrane types in municipal wastewater

Remote monitoring Our remote monitoring gives you access to real-time data analysis and monitoring.

PONI: Innovative Pilot Unit for Advanced Membrane Filtration Solutions in Industry and Research

PONI is a versatile pilot unit tailored for research and development trials within industrial applications, providing flexibility for a wide range of membrane filtration processes.

Key Features and Capabilities

Wide Membrane Compatibility: PONI can accommodate various membrane types, ranging from open ultrafiltration (UF) to high-pressure reverse osmosis (RO). This flexibility allows users to test and apply membranes in diverse industrial settings.
Adjustable Membrane Area:
- The membrane area can be adjusted between 0.4 and 1 m² using DT Modules.
- For membrane screening, smaller cross flow test cells with an area of 0.04 m² are available.

This enables PONI to support processes from membrane screening up to small-scale production.

Reliable Scale-Up Data: The Pilot Unit is equipped with a DT Module, which is also utilized in full-scale applications. This ensures that the data generated from LONI's tests are reliable and suitable for scaling up from laboratory to larger technical applications.
Durability and Flexibility: Made of stainless steel (quality 1.4571), PONI is designed to be compatible with most industrial products and processes, ensuring long-term reliability and wide applicability.

Technical Specifications

PONI delivers high-quality, scalable data, making it a pilot unit for membrane filtration in both research and industrial applications.
