INSTALLATION
MICRODYN capillary modules may be installed into a system vertically or horizontally.
A horizontal position is recommended for filtration of suspensions with a large quantity of solids (Figure 2). While each module has
two permeate outlets, only one is typically used during filtration. In the horizontal position, the permeate port must be facing
upwards to allow the module to fill fully with liquid. Additionally, the permeate port should be at the end of the module (low
pressure side) if the module is in the horizontal position.

In the vertical position, the permeate outlet must always be toward the top of the module so that air can be removed completely
from the module prior to operation (Figure 3).
