9.3.2 Feed Tank/Reservoir Connections
A typical Feed Tank or Reservoir is presented below:
• The lowest tube is the pump feed line.
• The bent dip tube is the retentate/return which should be rotated to the wall of the
reservoir to minimize foaming and to amplify mixing.
• Buffer/Product-in is through the top port of the cap.
• The vent line is connected to a filter. This filter must be sized properly to minimize any
vacuum which could impact TMP control valve and permeate flux rate.
