Static Test Cell (STC) Membrane Filtration System
Ultra-small footprint membrane filtration analysis system
Real-time Analysis
The SpinTek Static Test Cell (STC) is a high-shear,
high-capacity filtration system that provides
valuable time and cost advantages in testing feed
solutions and membrane filtration viability. The
STC system provides more efficient assessment of
membrane suitability for filtering a wide range of
liquid products using small volumes of feed
solution. The results from the STC can be used to
design larger field demonstration systems or assist in
the design of full-scale filtration products. In
addition, the data developed from the STC system
provides a low cost, simple method of screening
feed solutions as candidates for membrane filtration.

Ultra-small Footprint
SpinTek’s advanced test platform consists of a
membrane filtration system, instrumentation and a
feed pump. These bench-scale sized systems collect
membrane performance data on a wide variety of
feed samples. Perfect for evaluating the suitability of
micro, ultra, and nanofiltration membranes, the STC
module accepts any flat sheet filtration membrane
“coupon” that is available in 3" x 4" (75mm x
100mm) size. Each STC membrane test system
includes one flat-sheet membrane test sample. The
STC accepts polymeric or ceramic membranes. In
addition any flat membrane sheet that can be cut
into “coupons” can be used in the STC.
