-Set of pipes and fittings and wiring
-Set of shut off valves for water balance tank
-Set of instruments such as temperature and pressure transmitters.
-Stainless steel control panel including PLC, HMI, power supply, solenoid valves, motor starters, MCC etc.
-All of the UF plants are tested in our factory before delivery
-The UF Plant Panel/Programme ensures the following are realized:
1-Automatic temperature control in the loops
2-Automatioctotal solid ration control in the final retentate
3-Recording feed and retetnate flow and each loop temperature as long as long as the memory of HMI allows it
Options:
UF plant can include the following options:
-Automatic CIP dosing unit
-Refractometer for online measurement/control of final
product brix
-In line cartridge filters for soft water input
-In line filter for product with 10 micron filter
-Mix proof product manifold valve on feed, retentate and permeate inlet/outlet
-Conductivity transmitter for CIP dosing
-Automatic shut off (Isolation) of each loop to cut water consumption during CIP
-Flush water seal re circulation system. Reducing water circulation
-UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply)
-Air cooler for Control Panel
Operation:
The UF plant is designed fully automatic and from HMI all of the operation parameters and program sequences can be controlled and monitored. Also, all of the necessary process alarms are already incorporated into the program. The operation presence is only required during operation as surveillance The following process sequences are realized automatically:
-Start up/ Recirculation/Ready for product
-Pre concentration
-Production
-Re circulation of product
-Emptying
-Rinse
-Cleaning in place (CIP)
