INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing our Nano RO 2- or 3-membrane system. Please read this manualcarefullybeforeinstallationandstart-up.
TheCDL2-or3-membraneNanoRO isasimpleandeffectivetool formapleandbirchsapconcentration.Itsthree-stageprefiltrationremovesimpuritieslikesuspendedsolidsandlargerorganicmattertobetterprotectmembranesandimproveoverallsystemperformance.
Remarks and instructions
1. ReadtheinstructionsbeforeinstallingandoperatingtheROsystem.
2. Toavoiddamage to thesystem,donotdisassemble itunnecessarily.Disassemblingandreassemblingpartsmaycausebreaksorleaks.
3. Foryoursafety,itisrecommendedtoplugtheunitintoaGFCIelectricaloutlet.
4. Tomakesurethatthesystemrunsnormally,besuretousecleaningchemicalsandfilterssuppliedbyCDL.
5. Pleasehandle, install,andmove theunitwithcare toavoiddamaging themoredelicateparts.
6. Before beginning operation, install the membranes and the 5-micron filters in theirrespectivehousings.
7. Washandrinsethesystemthoroughlybeforeconcentratingthesap(seedailymembranescleaningpage18).
8. Duringconcentration,donotexceed100psiforthe3-membranesystemand70psiforthe2-membranesystem.Inthe2-membranesystem,theconcentrateflowmustbedoublethepermeateflow.Sincethe2-membraneunitdoesnothavearecirculationpumptoensureproper cross-flow circulation, it is important to follow those rules to prevent membranefouling.
9. This system is not designed for concentrations exceeding 5 to 6 degrees Brix for the3-membraneunit(whichhasarecirculationpump)and4degreesBrixinbatchmodeforthe2-membraneunit(whichdoesnothavearecirculationpump).Concentrationcapacityvariesdependingontheconditionofthemembranes,thetemperatureandqualityofthesap,andtheoperatingpressure.

10.Membranesmustbecleaneddaily.
11.If thedevice isnotused fora fewdays,makesure towash themembranesproperly.Toprevent bacterial growth, run a citric acid solution (3 pH) through the membranes. Stopthedeviceandinstallthe3plugs(Green =feedpumpinlet;red =concentrateoutlet;blue =filtrateoutlet).
12.Rinsetheequipmentbeforeresumingconcentration.
CHARACTERISTICS• Stage1:Thefeedlinestrainercatchesimpuritiesinthewaterandpreventspumpblockage.
Thestrainermustremainconnectedtothefeedline(3/8” yellow feed tube).
• Stage2:The5-micronfilterabsorbsharmfulsubstancesinthewater,suchascolourantsandorganicsubstances( 3/8” yellow feed tube).
• Stage3:The5-micronfiltereffectively removessediment,mold,suspendedmatter,andothersubstancesfromthewater( 3/8” yellow feed tube).
• Stage 4: Reverse osmosis is applied using the 600 GPD RO membrane filter (3) and the0.0001μmROmembrane,allowingonlypurewatermoleculesanddissolvedoxygentopassthrough.Organicmoleculessuchassugarandgoodmineralsareconcentrated(3/8” red tube on the recirculation circuit and 1/4” red on the concentrate outlet).
• Stage5:Aregulatingvalveonthe1/4”concentrateoutlet(red tube)increasesandreducesthepressureandcontrolsthelevelofconcentration.Maximum operating pressure: 100 psi (70 psi on 2-membrane system).
Recirculation pump:
The3-membraneNanoROisequippedwithauniquerecirculationpumpforbetterperformance.Bycreatingmorecrossflowonthemembranesurface,thepermeateflowremainssteadyandthesystemachieveshigherconcentration.
