Needs analysis
Depending on the product treated and your expectations, FIRMUS France, thanks to 20 years experiences in the membrane technologies field, will draw up specifications and will advise you to choose the most appropriate technologies (the best technico-economic ration).
Technical feasibility study
To estimate the technical feasibility of a treatment FIRMUS France offers feasibility tests on pilot units whose size goes from lab-scale to pre-industrial level.
Process development
Technical feasibility being demonstrated, large-scaled tests often have to be carried out before the industrial installation.
FIRMUS France will help you to:
- Define and set up a pre-industrial pilot unit to carry out tests on your site.
- Define an experience plan.
- Follow the tests evolution.
- Draw up specifications to make an industrial installation
