Sri Lanka seawater desalination system

fresh water reverse osmosis

1/Introduction

0.05MPa 1.5MPa 22 When reverse osmosis device in manual and automatic operation, should make sure that inlet pressure of high pressure pump is higher than 0.05MPa to protect high pressure pump. Should ensure that the outlet pressure of electric slowopen valve lower than 1.5MPa to protect reverse osmosis system. There are two Reverse osmosis device, they use same sequence step table. Frequency of high-pressure pump is related to product water flow rate of RO. Ro cleaning system is set for manual operation, but system is set the link to heater and temperature , heater and water level, liquid level and pump.

3/operation attention 1SDI/we recommend to test SDI at outlet of RO feed pump periodically. 2 20s /when start RO manually, please pay attention to the sequence of high pressure pump and auto valves: that is to say, open fresh water discharge valve first, close discharge valve, close rinse valve, open discharge manual valve at certain opening, start product water pump then start high pressure pump. ( time duration of start high pressure pump is depend on frequency transformer, and time is set to 20s.) otherwise it will make physical damage to RO membrane. When manually shut down RO system, high pressure pump should shut down first, then shut down product water pump and close valves, high pressure pump and product water pump should not shut down at same time. 30.3MPa(), /when RO is running, please make sure that each RO levels transmembrane pressure less than 0.3MPa( during long term running of RO system, this pressure could increase slowly), high pressure difference could make physical damage to RO membrane too. 4 /before start RO, please ensure RO discharge valve is properly open, otherwise, it will become dead-end filtration, system can not operation at this situation safetily. 5/when RO is running, please do not operate concentrated water discharge valve. 6 151515 Please record all the data ( flux, pressure, in/out conductivity etc..) when the RO system start at first time, after RO is running , if pressure difference between two level increase 15%, product water flux decrease 15% or conductivity of product water increase 15%, system should be start chemical cleaning.

 70.10.15MPa When pressure difference of security filter reach 0.1~0.15MPa, filters should be replaced. 8 If conductivity of product water increase sharply, please check water quality of each pressure vessel to determine whether or not this phenomenon is caused by physical damage of the RO membrane. 9 /When RO is running, should not close fresh water outlet valve to prevent produce high back-pressure.

4/dosing system for RO

Each chemical tank will alarm when liquid level is low, mixer is controlled manually. All low level alarm will not cause dosing pump stopped, only low low level alarm will cause dosing pump stopped. 30 /acid dosing: there are 3 dosing pump, when metering pump fault, it will stop and alarm, dosage is base on the each RO system feed flux . 3ppm10%125t/h1253/1000104L/H / dosage calculation: 3PPm, 10% concentration, 125t/h. dosage of each pump=125*3/(1000*10%)=4L/H 30 /anti-fouling chemicals dosing: 3 dosing pumps, pumps will stop at alarm, dosage is base on total feed water flux. 3ppm10%125t/h1253/1000104L/H dosage3ppm10%concentration125t/h water flowdosage=1253/1000104L/H / reducing agent dosing 10% 10% concentration, 2 chemical tanks , one for backup. 30 Reducing agent dosing: 3 metering pumps, metering pumps will stop when alarm, dosage is base on feed flux of each RO system. /dosage=6ppm600/10001036L/H

Reducing agent dosing at outlet of Rinse pump : it could be operate at upper computer, operator will determine start the rinse pump and reducing agent dosing pump or not when the RO system need to rinse or shut down. Dosing concentration is 0.2%, that is, 2g/l160t/h/10%53L/MIN, when reducing agent fulfill the system, shut down the system.
