Vipanan Analytical Technologies LLP (“Vipanan”) — India’s first third-party commercial laboratory offering NF / RO membrane autopsy services — reaffirms its leadership in water treatment diagnostics by continuing to deliver unbiased, scientifically rigorous analyses across UF, MBR, RO, and NF membrane systems.

Since its founding in 2003, Vipanan has grown steadily by building trust with clients through consistent performance, certified processes, and deep technical insight. The laboratory holds ISO/IEC 17025:2005 (NABL accreditation) and ISO 9001:2015 certification.

Key Capabilities & Services

Vipanan offers a broad portfolio of diagnostic and consultancy services, including:

RO / NF Membrane Autopsy
Comprehensive analyses that include dissection, chemical/microbiological/microscopic testing, LOI (Loss on Ignition), Fujiwara tests, SEM / EDS, salt rejection, functional group assessment, and detailed root-cause documentation.

UF / MBR Membrane Autopsy
Specialized autopsy services for hollow fiber membranes and MBR modules.

Feasibility & Pilot Studies
Simulation of real plant effluent conditions to evaluate treatment strategies under controlled conditions.

Consultancy & Contract R&D
Tailored technical support, troubleshooting, and research & development services in water treatment and related fields.

Antiscalant Efficacy Testing & Membrane Compatibility Studies
Evaluating the performance of antiscalants under site-specific conditions and testing chemical interactions with membranes (e.g. cleaning agents, biocides) to ensure membrane longevity.

Water Treatment Resin & Challenge Water Analysis
Advanced diagnostics for resins and challenging feedwaters, especially in high-TDS or water recycling applications.

Why Vipanan Stands Out

True Independent Insight
As a 100% third-party lab, Vipanan is free from affiliations with membrane or chemical suppliers, giving clients objective and trustworthy diagnostic reports.

Deep Domain Expertise
With over two decades of experience in membrane diagnostics and water treatment, Vipanan has developed a thorough understanding of various failure modes and mitigation strategies.

Certified Quality & Reliability
Accreditation (NABL) and ISO certification ensure that all test methods, protocols, and reports meet stringent quality standards.

Actionable Reporting
Beyond identifying problems, Vipanan offers recommendations on pretreatment, cleaning regimes, membrane repair, process adjustments, and optimization to prolong membrane life and improve system performance.

Proven Reach & Reputation
Vipanan is widely recognized across India in industries such as desalination, wastewater treatment, power plants, chemical processing, and more for its precision and integrity.

When Clients Should Consider an Autopsy

Membrane autopsy is especially valuable when plants are observed:

Drop in product flux

Rise in differential pressure (ΔP)

Lower rejection or increased conductivity

Frequent or ineffective chemical cleaning

Irreversible performance decline despite corrective measures
