Ensure the O-rings lie flat in the grooves of the cell top. Leaking may occur if the O-rings do not lie flat in the grooves. The O-rings will be cut or crushed when the system is operating if the O-rings are not installed correctly. www.sterlitech.com info@sterlitech.com 1-877-544-4420...
Figure 2 also lists the additional components that are necessary to operate the CF047/ CF090 cell. These components are sold separately and can be found in the Membrane/ Process Development section of the Sterlitech website (http://www.sterlitech.com/membrane- processdevelopment.html). The final assembly of the crossflow system will vary with the feed vessels, pumps, and tubing used.
If your pump is delivering too much flow, a portion of the flow can be diverted back to the feed container before entering the feed inlet of the cell body. This requires installation of a bypass valve and fitting on the pump outlet (Figure 2, #8). www.sterlitech.com info@sterlitech.com 1-877-544-4420...
