Introduction Introduction The CF016A Cell is a laboratory-scale cross flow filtration unit that is designed to evaluate flat sheet membranes in a variety of applications. 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.
Cell Components CF016A Cell Components Figure 1 illustrates a typical assembly of the CF016A Cell. The cell is also packaged with a length of permeate tubing and membrane cutting template. Figure 1: CF016A Cross Flow Cell Body Assembly NUMBER DESCRIPTION...
0.09”. Note: Shims and Spacers are not included with a CF016A Cell purchase Place a piece of pre-cut membrane onto the cell bottom using the two alignment pins to hold the membrane in position. The membrane should be installed with the shiny side (active side) down, toward the cavity in the cell bottom.

Operation of the Cell Operation of the CF016A Cell To operate the CF016A Cell: Open all the valves in the system to relieve any pressure build-up before turning on the feed pump. Turn the system ON and set the feed pump to desired flow rate.
Experimentation with the CF016A Cell can help predict the best operating parameters. Cell and Membrane Cleaning The CF016A 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.
