Membrane Knowledge Center

Designed and constructed with the Green Building concepts with rain water harvesting.

About MKC

LPE is intended to share this knowledge with various interest groups through the creation of Membrane Knowledge Center.The prime objectives of this center is to train and share the knowledge and resources with our customers, researchers and university students. This center is 1,200 m2 green concept building, with a well equipped, pilot scale test and analytical laboratories, training and recreational facilities to conduct professional seminars and training programs.

MKC Activities
