DATA ANALYTICS 2018

Mar 12, 2018 - RO2 Feed Water , Lakvijaya Power Plant

Analysis Parameters Values

Calcium concentration in feed as CaCO3, mg/L (Caf) 0.225

Concentration of Total Dissolved solids in the feed, mg/L (TDSf ) 450

Alkalinity in feed as CaCO3, mg/L (Alkf ) 5.1

pH of the feed solution (pHf) 6.3

Temperature of the feed solution (T ) 0C 31

System Parameter Values

Recovery of the reverse osmosis system, expressed as a decimal (Y ) 0.7

Calculated parameters Values

Calcium concentration in the concentrate stream, Cac, as CaCO3 in mg/L 0.75

Total dissolved solids in the concentrate stream, TDSc in mg/L 1500

Alkalinity in the concentrate stream, Alkc, as CaCO3 in mg/L 17

Carbon dioxide content (C) in the concentrate stream as Ca in mg/L .

(assuming that the CO2 concentration in the concentrate is equal to the
CO2 concentration in the feed: Cc = Cf.) 2.55
pH of the concentrate stream (pHc) 7.15

pCa as a function of Cac 5

pAlk as a function of Alkc, 3.25

C” as a function of TDSc and temperature ((temperature of the concentrate
is assumed equal to temperature of the feed solution) 2.15
pH at which the concentrate stream is saturated with CaCO3 (pHs) 10.4
The Langelier Saturation Index of the concentrate (LSIc) -3.25

The conditions for CaCO3 scale control are:

LSIc < 0 when no antiscalant is added
LSIc ≤1 when 20 mg/L sodium hexametaphosphate is in the concentrate stream
LSIc > 1 possible with polymeric organic scale inhibitors. For the maximum
LSIc and required dosages.

Recommendations

RO 02 Feed : LSI Value of RO 02 water is -3.25 because of that no need any correction
like Recovery Reduction , Decrease calcium concentration in the feed water or Adding
acid to the feed for the feed water.Antiscalant no need to dose base on CaCo3 scaling.

RO 01 Feed: S& DSI value is + 0.05 no need any correction like Recovery Reduction
Decrease calcium concentration in the feed water . Nalco anti-scaling chemical can
tolerate up to +2.5 LSI and S&DSI Values.
