Page 9 There is a possibility that particles are generated by the SEPAREL module. To prevent a problem with such particle occurrence, install a filter behind the module. The most suitable filtration size depends on your use conditions. For more details, please contact DIC. Note that back pressure to the SEPAREL module should be avoided.

Do not flow oxidizing agents, such as highly concentrated chlorine water and ozone water, strong acids, strong bases, organic solvents, oil, or any other liquid which has not been confirmed as compatible by DIC. The warranty will not apply if liquid, which has not been confirmed as compatible by DIC, is used.

Page 15: Vacuum Pressure Degree
INSTRUCTION MANUAL REFRENCE DATA 2: Vacuum Pressure Degree Note that the vacuum pressure degree in our data sheet is mainly indicated by absolute pressure, not by gauge pressure. 1 atm 0.65 atm 0.35 atm Absolute =101.3 kPa(abs) = 65.8 kPa(abs) = 35.5 kPa(abs) = 1013 mbar(abs) = 658 mbar(abs)
Page 16: Setting Value Of Vacuum Pressure Degree
However, if the vacuum pressure degree is too strong yet close to perfect pressure, liquid may evaporate and penetrate through the membrane. As a result, the composition of liquids may change. Therefore, DIC recommends following the exact vacuum pressure degree.
Page 17 On the other hand, if the flow rate is too low, degassing cannot be efficient. Therefore, DIC supplies recommended flow ranges in the table below. The recommended flow range below was calculated when using water. In the case of high viscosity liquid, a suitable flow range will be more narrow.
