4. OPERATION OF THE HP4750 STIRRED CELL
1. Attach a high pressure hose (sold
separately, Sterlitech Part Number: 1151427)
to the fitting on the Cell Top (Photo 12).
2. Connect the other end of the hose to the
pressure regulator assembly on the inert
gas supply or the compressed air supply.
The compressed air or inert gas source
selected will determine pressure regulator
(sold separately, Sterlitech Part Number:
1144026 style and pressure requirements
(Photo 13).
3. Place a Permeate Collection Vessel (user
supplied) under the Permeate Tube (Photo
14).
4. Turn on the magnetic stirrer (sold
separately, Sterlitech Part Number 1144030
or 1144031) to start the motion of the Stir
Bar Assembly (Photo 15).
5. Begin filtration by gradually pressurizing
the HP4750 Stirred Cell, checking for
leaks. Foreign material on the surface of
the seals and insucient tightening of
the clamps are most common causes for
leakage.
Note: Preconditioning the membranes before
use will ensure consistent performance. See
Appendix 3 for more details.
