- Page 3 Introduction Introduction The CF042H-FO Cell is a laboratory-scale filtration unit that is designed to evaluate a variety of engineered osmosis processes, including Forward Osmosis (FO), and Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO). It simulates the flow dynamics of larger, commercially available membrane elements such as industrial spiral wound membrane elements. Users can vary the operating conditions and fluid dynamics over broad ranges.
