Parker's SciLog® NFF automated single-use normal flow filtration (NFF) systems automatically monitor, adjust and document pressure and flow rate to optimize processing times, and maximize filter life and efficiency. By combining single-use sensing technology and automation, the need for constant monitoring during production runs is eliminated. The "open architecture" design enables any filter / membrane type to be used.
User-selectable end points and alarms automated the operation and ensure safe, consistent process performance. Patented, proprietary technology enables an automated feedback to protect the filter from over pressurization controlling and maximizing the throughput of the filter via SciPres® II pressure sensors incorporated within the fluid flowpath.
The system can communicate real time process parameters via OPC to a plant historian and integrate with local active directory, or operate as a stand-alone unit. Up to two optional integrated scales can be used to deliver filtration precision by gravimetrically controlling operations.
Features and Benefits
• Safe, automated filtration improves filter throughput using patented R/P Stat method
• Flexible configuration for a wide range of applications
• Optimized for Parker filters but can accept other commercially available filters
• Touch-screen interface for process monitoring and control
• Integration with plant systems for data collection and process control
• Small footprint
• User configurable alarms and interlocks
• Optional integrated scale for highly accurate filtration endpoints
• Automated filter integrity testing
• S88 Batch/Recipe configuration
Modes of Control
• Constant Flow - Maintains pump rate and monitors pressure. The system will ensure pressure does not exceed a high limit set point.
• Constant Pressure - Maintains pressure, regulating flow rate. The system will ensure pressure does not exceed a maximum set point.
• R/P Stat Method - The system maintains a constant pump flow rate, monitoring pressure until a pressure limit is reached. The system immediately switches to constant pressure mode, monitoring flow rate until a minimum set point is reached.
• Manual Operation - User definable motor set point.
Process Reliability
Recipes can be conveniently stored and recalled at the time of execution to save time and reduce the risk of parameters being installed incorrectly.
