After verifying that all of the necessary components were shipped and present, you can begin
the assembly of the system.
To assemble the 1812 Element into the housing:
To remove the 1812 Element from the housing:
1. Close the longer end of the permeate tube of the membrane module (the end without
the PTFE seal) using the compression connection (Figure 2, #1). Appendix 1 shows how to
install Swagelok Tube Fittings
2. Connect the hollow compression connection to the shorter end of the tube (the end with
the PTFE seal) (Figure 2, #2).
3. Connect the hollow end cap to the hollow compression connection (Figure 3#1)
4. Insert the membrane module in the housing starting from the close end of the permeate
tube (Figure 4, #1,2)
Note: make sure the gasket (Figure 1, #3) is in place before connecting the top end cap to
the tube
5. Use the tri clamp fitting to secure the hollow end cap (Figure 4, #3)
6. Place the solid end cap on to the other side of the element and secure it using the tri
clamp fitting. (Figure 5, #1,2)
7. Connect the feed inlet, retentate outlet and permeate outlet houses using the clamps
NOTE: Feed inlet should be connected to the side of the housing where top end
cap is connected and the retentate outlet tubing should be connected to the side
where the end cap is connected
The 1812 Housing is now assembled and ready to be connected to a feed pump for
operation.
WARNING: Do not exceed 870 psi (60 bar) in the 1812 Housing.
1. Remove the clamp and open up hollow end cap.
2. Remove the element by pulling the element through the hollow end cap.
