Tesca Automated Pilot Plant with Filter Press and Micro-filter 32484 is provided with a filter press and a microfilter (tangential filtration) that are fed by a screw pump connected with a tank filled with the solution to be filtered. Then filtrate is collected into another tank.
A microprocessor PID controller enables to operate at constant pressure or flow rate.
Process control, data acquisition and supervision are automatically carried out by a microprocessor controller and by a specific control and supervision software that enables the remote control of various operational parameters.
