VTT – Mechanical separations

VTT has excellent continuous or batch wise mechanical separation facilities from lab to pilot scale in the field of Forest based Bio economy Downstream Processing (Fig.3.1.). After homogenisation and fractionation up to micro size in liquid-solid separations separators, sieve bends, screw presses, vacuum drum and pressure filters, belt filters and centrifuges are available. In membrane filtrations facilities for micro-, ultra- and nanofiltration are available as well as equipment for reverse and forward osmosis. Capacities of continuous devices can be up to 10 m³/h while batch wise devices can handle samples up to cubic meters.
