Experimentation with the CF042D Cell can help predict the best operating parameters. Cell and Membrane Cleaning The CF042D Cell can be cleaned with or without the membrane installed. Leave the membrane installed to simulate the cleaning conditions of Clean-In-Place (CIP), a common practice in larger systems with spiral-wound or tubular membranes.
