Liquid manifolds
Each HP1 module has two permeate ports. In the
standard configurations one is blinded, and the
other is configured with a push-fit T-connection. As
an alternative option the permeate port can be
configured with a Mini-TC clamp connection.
The standard configuration includes a permeate
manifold joining the push-fit T-connections of the
HP1 modules with 10 mm tubing.
At one end of each manifold there is a blind plug
and at the other end a drain line for leading the
permeate ot the collection vessel.
For microfiltration applications the drain line is as
standard at the top of the manifold, and the blind
plug at the bottom. This configuration helps to
ensure that the transmembrane pressure is
uniform throughout the entire membrane area.
For ultrafiltration it is not as critical and the
standard manifold is provided with the drain line at
the bottom.
These are the default configurations but the
manifold can be reconfigured according to preference.
To facilitate draining of the permeate volume a vent valve can be added instead of the blind
plug at the closed end. This is particularly useful for the microfiltration configuration.
For 10 m² cartridges a single permeate manifold is provided. When used for the 40 m² unit the
drain lines from each 10 m² cartridge are joined in a stainless steel manifold with push-fit
fittings.
