The molecular weight cut-off is such that the membrane will pass monovalent salts like sodium chloride, yet retain divalent salts, proteins and sugars.
Retention of sugars, such as lactose, typically exceeds 99 percent.
The SR3 dairy elements are specifically designed to conform to USDA 3-A and FDA guidelines.
For cleaning-in-place, the allowable pH range is 2.0 to 11.0.
For continuous operation, the pH range is 3.0 to 10.0.
