1. INTRODUCTION The CF042SS-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.

5. Secure the cell top by inserting and tightening one of the provided screws into each of the corner holes. The CF042SS-FO Cell is now assembled and ready to be connected to a feed pump for operation. Sterlitech Corporation | CF042SS-FO Cell Manual...
5. OPERATION OF THE CF042SS-FO CELL Once the CF042SS-FO Cell has been assembled and connected to a feed system, it can be used in variety of applications that includes forward osmosis and pressure retarded osmosis.
6.1 MEMBRANE PERFORMANCE Parameters such as viscosity, pressure, and suspended solids may also affect performance/operation. Experimentation with the CF042SS-FO Cell can help predict the best operating parameters. 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.
