Micronics Laboratory Membrane Filter Press for Sandpit

How to use Micronics Laboratory Membrane Filter Press?

1. Prepare the filter press: First, make sure that the filter press is properly assembled and all components are in good condition. Next, install the filter media (membrane filter) onto the filter plates and ensure that they are properly aligned and secured.

2. Prepare the sample: The sample to be filtered should be properly prepared by removing any large particles or debris that may clog the filter media. The sample can be pre-filtered using a separate filtration system if necessary.

3. Load the sample: Carefully pour the sample into the filter press, making sure to distribute it evenly across the filter media. Do not overfill the filter press, as this can cause the sample to leak out of the sides.

4. Apply pressure: Once the sample is loaded, apply pressure to the filter press using a pump or other pressure source. The pressure should be applied gradually, allowing the sample to be filtered through the membrane filter.

5. Collect the filtrate: As the sample is filtered through the membrane filter, the filtrate will collect in a separate container. Make sure to monitor the pressure and adjust as necessary to ensure that the filtration is proceeding smoothly.

6. Clean the filter press: After the filtration is complete, carefully remove the filter plates and membrane filter and clean them thoroughly using a suitable cleaning solution. Make sure to properly dispose of any hazardous waste or chemicals used in the filtration process.
