                     UF Equipment Specifications

A.   Six (7) Recirculation Loops

B.   Fifty (50) 6.3” x 38”

C.   Three (5) Membrane/Vessel

                     Feed System:  700-liter balance tank, with drain valve, level control,

                     throttle valve, four (4) divert valves, one (1) temperature probe

                     (pt-100), enclosed tank, with spray ball, 18” man way. Connection to

                     the feed system will be by means of leak proof valves to eliminate the

                     flow plate.

                     System Pump:  One (1) centrifugal feed/pump (18.5 kW), four (7)

                     centrifugal loop recirculation pumps (37.5 kW), one (1) centrifugal

                     concentrate pump (3.5 kW) and one (1) permeate transfer pump

                   (7.5 kW).

                     Concentrate Section:  200 Liter concentrate tank w/18” manway, spray

                     ball, divert valves, level control, 3.5 kw transfer pump and flow

                     feed valves with feed back.

                     Permeate Section:  400 Liter balance tank w/18” manway, spray ball,

                     divert valves, level control, 7.5 kw pump &  including five (5)divert valves.

                     Feed flow valves with feed back.

                  Total power – 292 KW.

                    Loop Section:

A.   Seven (7) recirculation loops, one (1) centrifugal recirculation pump

   per loop, 37.5 kw

B.   Seventy (70) 6.3” vessels total including all necessary clamps,

                           interconnectors, permeate elbows and concentrate sample ports.

C.   Six (6) inline coolers with control valves and temperature probes.

D.   All necessary permeate collection piping with return line to permeate

                           pump. Rotometers flow meters for each stage.

E.   All necessary steam controls and heat exchanger for CIP.

F.    Loop isolation valves and plug flow flushing for CIP and production

                           control all valves with feed back.

G.   Interstage isolation butterfly valves on stages 1-5 to bring on one half

                           the area in each stage over the production run.

Diafiltration:  There will be in-line diafiltration on six (6) stages of the

                     system.  The diafiltration system will be fully automated and include the

                     following:

A.   One (1) 200 liter balance tank

B.   One (1) diafiltration pump

C.   Six (6) magnetic flow tubes

D.   Six (6) throttle valves with feed back.

E.   All necessary I/O and air components for diafiltration control.

System Controls:  PLC and operator interface

with system.  The system will be fully automated for CIP and production

processes.
