B. Final Drying
The final drying step involves flowing a clean, dry, filtered (0.2 micron) gas into the top shellside
port. Using a warm gas will reduce drying time. Nitrogen is preferred in the final drying step as hot
air can shorten the membrane life. See Table 9 for estimated flow rate and drying time guidelines.
Keep the lower shellside port closed.
