PREPARATION FOR USE
These instructions are limited to the correct treatment of the T-CUT tubular/pipe module. Please refer to the oper-
ating instructions of the filtration system to prepare the filtration system for use safely and securely.
9.1
Safety Instructions
DANGER!
Risk of poisoning, chemical burns, contamination from escaping medium.
▶ When handling hazardous substances, always take appropriate precautionary measures and wear personal
protective equipment in accordance with the requirements of the medium.
▶ Before disconnecting lines, the medium must be flushed from the entire system.
Risk of injury from improper operation.
Improper operation may result in injuries as well as damage to the product and the surrounding area.
▶ Before start-up, ensure that the operating personnel are familiar with and completely understand the contents
of the operating instructions.
▶ Observe the safety instructions and intended use.
▶ Only adequately trained personnel may start up the equipment/the product.
Compared to pumps and pipelines, the membrane in the filtration system is a relatively sensitive com-
ponent. Therefore, every effort should be made when planning and operating the system to avoid
pressure surges, sudden increases in the solid content of the feed, heavy cross-flow drops and tem-
perature shocks. Pressure surges and vibrations in particular may damage the module and impair its
performance.
NOTE!
Damage to the Module.
▶ Under no circumstances may the pressure on the permeate site exceed the pressure on the feed site of the
module.
▶ Media with non-permissible pH values, oxidants or other products that would attack the membrane must not
be used (please refer to the data sheet for compatible media – alternatively, contact a representative of Bürk-
ert Fluid Control Systems).
▶ Do not exceed the maximum pressure drop.
▶ At the maximum permitted temperature, the module may only be operated at permitted pressure values
(please refer to product-specific data sheet).
▶ We recommend keeping the pressure at the module outlet to at least 0.5 bar. The filtration system must be
designed so that negative pressure cannot arise in the feed chamber.
▶ The limit values for pressure and cross-flow rate must not be exceeded.
▶ Quickly opening the valves may cause pressure surges, damaging the module.
