- Retentate return 52, feed pump 51, filtration module 5 and line 8 simultaneously. While a relatively large flow of 3 e.g. 30 m / h is running, only a small amount of container 3 is required
- Product flow of 1.5 m / h, for example are supplied, which corresponds to the permeate discharge via line 7. If the container 1 is at a distance from the filtration module 5 arranged, only the small product flow advantageously has to run over this distance, the larger flow circulates only in the relatively short inner circuit via the retentate return 52.
