Engineering polymeric membranes from first principles to the production line.
Prakash Membrane Consulting bridges continuum theory, COMSOL multiphysics modeling, structured experimentation, and roll-to-roll manufacturing — delivering finer control of microstructure during scale-up of ultrafiltration (UF), microfiltration (MF), and thin film composite (TFC) membranes among others.

§ 01 — Capabilities
A rare intersection of theory, experiment, and manufacturing.
Most membrane problems live at the seam between disciplines. We work where polymer physics, transport phenomena, and roll-to-roll process engineering converge.
01
Microstructure Evolution
SEM, AFM, porometry, porosimetry, cryo SEM, spectroscopy, DSC, DMA, rheological analyses
02
NIPS Processing & Optimization
Phase inversion, ternary path analysis, structured experimentation, data-driven
03
COMSOL Modeling
Equation-based multiphysics, transport
04
Roll-to-Roll Scale-Up
Slot coating, drying, web mechanics
05
MF, UF, NF, RO, GS, Dialysis
Asymmetric membranes, thin film composites, fouling mitigation, concentration polarization
06
Filtration & Separation Science
Particle trajectory analysis in hydrodynamic flow and electrostatic force fields
§ 02 — Position
Where membrane casting, polymer science, and separation applications meet.
Our unique value proposition is finer control of membrane microstructure during manufacturing scale-up — interpreting SEM, AFM, porometry and porosimetry data through state-of-the-art theoretical paradigms such as process path analysis.
