An illustrative installed context informed by manufacturer product exteriors, not an actual product/installation photograph or piping design. Ceramic elements and installed housings are distinct; dimensions, channel counts and ports are not specifications. Confirm protein retention and lactose passage for the selected UF grade and conditions. UF alone does not guarantee a final lactose-free product. MF, NF and RO are separately selected for their purpose, not the same product or mandatory serial stages. CIP is a cleaning mode separate from production.
