1) System Description
Sin-Can Incs INTEGRA-MATE Reverse Osmosis ( RO ) Water Systems supply
INTEGRA analyzers with a cost-effective, high quality polished Reverse Osmosis
( RO) water.
The INTEGRA-MATE systems are designed to produce RO water directly from city
water supplies and will achieve a resistivity of greater than 5 megohm/cm when
properly operated and maintained. The water quality generated by the INTEGRAMATE systems are greater than ASTM Type II and NCCLS/CAP Type II water.
The INTEGRA-MATE systems consist of two pre filtration devices for city water,
the first being the 20 inch pre filters ( SCMF005-20 ) and ( SCMF001-20 ) which
are located next to the INTEGRA-MATE usually wall mounted. Designed for high
dirt handling capacity and high volume throughput. The second filter is a 10 inch
pre- treatment filter ( SCMF001-10 ) that is mounted at the back of the INTEGRAMATE for final particulate removal, this filter is found on the older models and not
required on the new units manufactured end of 2005 and starting 2006 . The carbon
filter ( PF1C-10 ) located on the front right hand side of the INTEGRA-MATE is for
the removal of particulates, chlorine and organics from the city water supply. This
filter is a specially designed unit with an extremely high chlorine capacity and
very effective in the removal of low molecular weight VOCs. I.e. benzene,
toluene etc.
The filters are selected and have been tested to assure optimal retention
efficiencies and performance in the Integra-mate.

1) System Description ( Continued )
Water passes through the pre filters and carbon filter to the booster pump which
maintains constant pressure on the reverse osmosis membrane ( TFC 150 ) where
the water is separated into product water and reject water. Product water has
approximately 98% of the inorganics and organics above 200 M.W. removed at this
point in the process.
Product water flows into the storage tank and then to the (PC 2000 ) polishing
cartridge located on the left hand side of the Integra-mate Water purification system.
The reject water is sent to the drain from the system via the reject water line ( Black
tubing ). On the First Generation Integra-mate units the reject flow and backpressure
are controlled by a Needle Valve with a pressure gauge.
The new generation of Integra-mate Water systems utilize a specially built flow
restrictor that automatically sets the proper reject to permeate ratios (flow rates)
and backpressure. This eliminates the need to manually set the proper parameters
and eliminates the problem associated with the accidental closing of the reject valve
and destruction or fouling of the RO membrane.

All new Integra-mate Water systems now incorporate a resistivity meter with
digital read-out of the purity, set-point alarm adjustable with sound and light
alarm indicators as part of the unit.

3) Maintenance Procedures
Maintenance of your INTEGRA-MATE water system is critical to
its ability to produce high quality water for your analyzers
operations.
Failure to properly maintain the system will degrade the RO
membrane, produce sub standard water or no water for your
INTEGRA analyzer.

3.1) Service Schedule: Change filters
- Pre Filters
PF1C-10 : 2 months
- Note: Pre filter life will be affected by changes in the feed water quality that
typically takes place during spring breakup. Also any current construction projects
associated with the water supply system, or city water supply in your local area,
will require
more frequent changes of the prefilter. Check pressure differentials between inlet
pressure gauge and middle pressure gauge ( or middle and last pressure gauge )
located on the top of the city water Pre-filter system ( SCMF005-20 /SCMF001-20
).
If the pressure differential is greater than 10 to 15 psig, the filters need to be
changed.
- Install a new pre filter (SCMF001-10) element in the bowl and reattach to the
system.
- Reconnect power supply and flush the system to drain for 10 minutes.
- Vent DemiCap filter until water flows from VENT ports then close.
4) Sanitization Procedures:
- Sanitization of the system should be conducted at least once per year and would be
completed as a regular maintenance cycle for cartridge replacement. This procedure
is designed to clean and sanitize the RO membrane, piping, pump, reservoir and
feed line to the INTEGRA analyzer. ( Time to completion: 4.5 hours )
* Caution: Hydrogen Peroxide is a hazardous solution. Wear safety glasses, lab
coat
and gloves. Should skin contact occur flush with water immediately.
Use 3% hydrogen peroxide for the procedure.
4.1) Pre filter, Polishing and Final Filter change
- Close city water feed valve located before the SCMF005/001 twenty inch filter
housing.
- Open drain valves at the bottom of each twenty inch housing and drain until water
pressure on gauges reads zero ( gauges are located on top of the SCMF005/001
housings ).

4.1) Sanitization Procedures ( continued )
* PC 2000 cartridge WILL NOT BE INSTALLED at this time, reattach housing
to the system.
- Disconnect the RO water feed line to the analyzer and secure in a sink.
- Open reservoir tank valve and drain tank.
- Close outlet valve PC 2000 ( blue handled valve ).
- Open both the pre filter inlet valve and the reservoir valve ( blue handled valves )
- Reconnect power supply.
- Check the Reject line pressure regulator and adjust pressure setting via the brass
pressure regulator to approximately 80 psig on the gauge.
- The system will operate as normal for approximately one hour while the reservoir
fills with RO water and then will automatically shut off.
- Open the outlet valve PC 2000 ( blue handled valve ) and drain the reservoir tank
to the sink via the analyzer feed water line.
- Close polishing filter outlet valve PC 2000 ( blue handled valve ) when the RO
water has completely flowed out of the reservoir and allow the system to refill for
approximately one hour.

4.1) Sanitization Procedures ( continued )
- Open the outlet valve PC 2000 ( blue handled valve ) and drain the reservoir tank
to the sink via the analyzer feed water line for the final rinse.
- Reconnect the analyzer feed line as soon as the reservoir tank has emptied, to
prevent contamination.
- Remove the PC2000 housing and install a new cartridge (ARROW POINTING
UP) and reattach to the system. Do not touch the cartridge with your hands
wear
gloves.
- Close polishing filter outlet valve PC 2000 ( blue handled valve ) while the
reservoir refills.
- Check the Reject line pressure regulator and adjust pressure setting via the brass
pressure ( old model ) regulator to approximately 80 psig on the gauge.
- Remove the DemiCap final filter from the PC2000 outlet line and install a new
filter.
- Open vent valves located on the side of the DemiCap final filter and open the
polishing filter outlet valve PC 2000, ( blue handled valve ) ( when reservoir has
filled ) flushing the air from the DemiCap final filter. When water appears at the
vents, close the vent valves ( usually the bottom vent first ).
- Connect outlet of the DemiCap to the line feeding your INTEGRA analyzer.
- The system is ready for operation.
