Construction & System Design
The HydraNexis HNX 03 pilot plant is mounted on a stainless steel framework with castors for ease of movement and stable operation. The front-mounted process flow diagram supports instructional use and operational clarity. Stainless steel tanks and piping ensure durability and compatibility with filtration media. Transparent Plexiglas frames in the filter press allow direct visualization of the filtration process, while integrated safety features such as pressure switches and emergency stop enhance operational reliability. The overall design reflects export-grade manufacturing suitable for institutional and laboratory environments.
