- the density of a reference liquid in an optional method section is measured with the measuring device 41 even after step 400. In this case, for example, the permeate can serve as a reference liquid. Since the permeate has, for example, a certain density (and / or a certain conductivity), the permeate can serve as the reference liquid.
- the overflowable filter element 53 can be designed so that the change of the medium to be measured can be carried out quickly and without residues.
- valves 42, 43, 48, 49 and 50 different flows can be realized, so that on the one hand, the device 10 is easy to maintain, but also, for example. easy to clean / disinfect. Also, by means of the valves 42, 43, 48, 49 and 50, not only the direction but also the flow itself can be regulated by primary or secondary circulation of the filter element 53 which can be flowed over.
- the medium flowing through is discharged via drain valve 6.
- a control of the flushing could be done via the measuring device 41.
- the function of the measuring device can be ensured.
- the mixing device M comprises, in one embodiment, a control device 80 which is configured such that the pumps and valves are actuated by connecting lines, not shown, and the signals of the sensor 41 are read in the same manner, so that the method according to the invention is fully or partially automated can.
