So I have found out that we currently don't have the tools necessary to adapt the pressure in the damper. However, I have contacted a company that might be able to supply those tools. Also I will try to find out what a new damper (optimized for my pressure range) would cost.

Thanks for your suggestion! However, I don't think changing the setup is the way to go here. As I have described, the plant worked fine during my first experiments. Also my colleagues, that worked with the plant before, did not experience this issue. I therefore think that something is...
Thanks for your reply!
I have now checked the pulsation damper. Sadly, there is no pressure range printed on it. It says "180 Bar", I assume that is the maximum pressure. I will try to contact the supplier of the membrane plant on monday to see if I can get any data sheets of the damper. So far...
Hello,
I am a student and am doing my master thesis on membrane separation. The lab-scale membrane plant works with a CAT plunger pump (model 231) that enables flows of 8.7 lpm (2.3 gpm). The pressure I am working with is usually around 12 Bar (170 psi). The whole plant is designed to hold...
