Membrane characterization

© Fraunhofer IKTS
Fully automated measuring stand for membrane characterization.

The characterization, testing, application and implementation of ceramic membranes is one of our core competencies. Test rigs with corresponding analytics are available for testing membranes for liquid filtration, pervaporation, vapor permeation and gas separation. Special capabilities for modeling mass transport processes at the molecular level and in porous media as well as for analyzing the mechanical and thermal behavior of parts and assemblies complement our methodological skills and enable targeted, application- and customer-oriented development work.

Services offered

  • Test rigs for micro-, ultra-, nanofiltration, pervaporation, permporosimetry, vapor permeation and gas permeation
  • Mass transfer processes and separation mechanisms
  • Modeling of multiphysics issues
  • Analysis of mechanical and thermal behavior under service conditions
  • Ceramic design of components
