Construction & System Design
The HydraNexis HNX 05 pilot plant is mounted on a stainless steel framework with castors, ensuring stability and ease of movement. A front-mounted process flow diagram supports instructional clarity. The membrane housing and pressure-bearing components are constructed from stainless steel for durability and safe operation under high pressure. Valves, gauges, and sensors allow precise adjustment and monitoring of operating conditions. Integrated safety systems protect the pump and membrane during operation. The overall design reflects export-grade manufacturing suitable for laboratory and pilot installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What principle does the Reverse Osmosis Pilot Plant HNX 05 demonstrate?
It demonstrates reverse osmosis, where applied pressure greater than osmotic pressure forces water through a semi-permeable membrane while retaining dissolved salts.
Q2. What type of membrane is used in this pilot plant?
The system uses a polyamide spiral wound membrane module designed for reverse osmosis applications.
Q3. How is separation performance evaluated?
Performance is evaluated by measuring conductivity values of the feed, permeate, and retentate streams.
Q4. Can operating conditions be varied during experiments?
Yes, pressure and flow rate can be adjusted to study their effect on permeate flow, retention, and yield.
Q5. Is the HydraNexis HNX 05 suitable for international supply?
Yes, the system is manufactured by SCIENTICO for export and is supplied with standard documentation and optional customization.
