Choose Alfa Laval for separation testing
Alfa Laval offers a wide portfolio of testing options. You can start with a simple spin test, or have your feedstock analyzed in our certified materials lab.

In addition, our process test facility enables trials with multiple Alfa Laval units. Learn more about our scalable testing methodology by watching the video.
The separator testing journey
From lab-scale trials to full-scale production, your testing journey is tailored to your specific needs, with expert support at every stage. You can choose between two paths for separator testing: one when the feedstock is known, and another when it is completely new. The duration of the process depends on the complexity of your challenges. Watch the video to understand the difference between the testing journeys.
