4 Optimal regeneration of Filter sheetsinstalled in a plate and frame Filter may be achieved with serialrinses of warm water followed by hot water. An example protocolis shown below. 1. Rinse with warm water (60 C / 140 F) for 15 minutes2. Rinse with hot water (70 80 C / 158 176 F) for 8 10 minutesThe rinse flow rate should be equivalent to the filtration flow ratewith a back pressure of 1 bar ( psi).3 When rinsing in the reverse flow direction it is critical to control particulate andmicrobial levels in the rinse water so that the filtrate side of the sheet is notcontaminated. Water used for reverse flow flushes should be particle-free, and ifthe Filter will not be sterilized prior to re-use the water should be free of should be in a diagonal direction from outlet to inlet in a plate andframe Filter .
