OPERATING 

PARAMETERS 

FOR THE UNA SERIES 

 

Observe the following operating parameters when using the UNA series: 

 

Outside-in filtration mode 

Ensure that the modules are installed appropriately with the label on the housing indicating 'feed 
inlet' located downward (on the bottom).   
Installing  the  module  upside  down  (with  the  label  "Feed  Inlet"  located  downward)  causes  raw 
water to be fed to inside the hollow fibers, so that filtration is not performed. 

 

 

Raw Water Temperature: 

40°C or less 

Raw  water  temperature  higher  than  40°C  may  cause  deformation  or  degradation  of 
constructional elements such as the housing. 

 

Raw Water Feed Pressure: 

300 kPa or lower

 

 
TMP (Transmembrane Pressure): 

300 kPa or lower 

The feed inlet pressure is the pressure the module housing withstands. Note that, even when the 
feed inlet pressure is less than 300 kPa, if a negative pressure is formed on the permeate side 
such  as  that  due to  siphon  effect,  the  transmembrane may  exceed  300 kPa.  Use  the following 
formula to obtain TMP:

 

 
TMP = (Pi + Po) /2 - Pp 

 

Pi 

Pressure on inlet side 

Po 

Pressure on discharge side 

Pp 

Pressure on permeate side 

 
To  make  a  height  correction,  use  the  following 
formula  assuming  10  kPa  for  every  increase  of 
1m: 

 
TMP = ((Pi 

–

 A)+ (Po + B)) /2 

–

 (Pp + C) 

 

When  filtration  is  performed  in  dead  end  mode 
without Po, use the formula TMP = (Pi - A) + (Pp + 
C),  or  use  TMP  =  (Pi  -  x)  -  Pp  as  a  simplified 
formula.
