Applications

Hiden’s MBR is engineered for examining the selective gas permeation properties of membrane materials for separation and purification applications. It can be configured to assist operation in either cross flow mode and co-current flow mode to match specific applications requirements.

In co-current flow mode, a gas mixture is applied upstream of the membrane at a controlled pressure and composition, while an exclusive helium flow flushes the downstream side. The gas composition is then tested to evaluate 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 established by comparing the upstream and downstream gas compositions.
