Operation
A.
Introduction
The standard way to run the assembled unit is to pump
feed in through a media port in the bottom of the Vibro-I
membrane assembly.
The permeate is collected via the permeate outlets using
a permeate manifold and the retentate is leaving the unit
at the desired rate through a media port in the top.
All connections between the vibrating equipment and
static equipment such as feed pump, permeate tank and
retentate tank must be done with flexible tubing or hoses.
In order to reduce the tranfer of vibrations the
connecting hoses should not be straight but
ideally include at least a 90° bend between the
vibrating and the static connection point. See
picture to the right showing suitable ways of
connecting the flexible hoses.
Avoid any contact between vibrating hoses and
other equipment parts as this can result in wear
and damage of the hoses.
