FINE FILTRATION

A micron cartridge filter of 5 micron is incorporated prior to RO Plant for removal of fine

particulate matter, which will otherwise clog the RO membranes.

REVERSE OSMOSIS

Reverse Osmosis process is a membrane process in which a synthetic semi-permeable

membrane is used to separate water from dissolved impurities. When a semi-permeable

membrane separates a dilute and concentrates solution of salts, due to osmosis, the water

from the dilute solution side passes through the membrane to the concentrated side till

osmotic equilibrium is attained. Now, if the pressure is applied and increased gradually on

the concentrated side, the flow of water continues to reduce till the applied pressure

reverses the direction of flow of water and water from the concentrated side enters the

dilute side. This process is called the Reverse Osmosis.

It is very essential to ensure that the water fed to reverse osmosis membranes is free

from particulate matter to prevent membrane fouling. Also, the water should be free from

organic matter, heavy metals and oxidizing agents like free chlorine.

 All limiting conditions must be observed during the plant’s operation for satisfactory

performance throughout the membrane/ plant life.

 The treated effluent parameters are dependent on the inlet conditions. The fluctuations

from the design conditions will affect the quality of the treated effluent.

5
TURBIDITY

Turbidity of feed water to RO shall be less than 1 NTU. Experience has shown that

prolonged operation on feed water turbidities greater than 1 NTU generally results in

prohibitively frequent cleaning requirements. We Strongly recommends that the

performance of the pre-treatment equipment be monitored once a shift and corrective

action is taken.

SILT DENSITY INDEX

The SDI of feed water to RO shall be kept below 4. The SDI is a measure of colloidal

particles in the feed water and hence SDI value of 4 indicates that the feed water has very

low content of colloidal particles. This ensures minimal colloidal fouling of RO membranes.

This test shall be carried out once in a week and its value recorded.

BACTERIAL CONTAMINATION

The feed water to RO shall be free from bacterial contamination. The check for bacterial

content (CFU per ml) shall be carried out once a day and action initiated to minimize

membrane fouling.

ORGANIC CONTAMINATION

To minimize organic fouling of membranes, it is necessary to monitor this parameter once a

day and cleaning of membranes as per recommended procedure should be followed. The

frequency of cleaning will have to be determined by RO plant operating conditions.

6
OIL & GREASE

The Oil & Grease should be NIL and removed completely in the pre-treatment. The

presence of it in the feed water to RO, severely affects the membrane performance. The

presence of Oil and Grease physically fouls the membrane and make it ineffective, which is

then very difficult to remove even by cleaning.

TEMPERATURE

The operating temperature of feed water shall not be exceed 45 deg. Celsius. We

understand that the RO system will be treated only pre-treated surface water at ambient

temperature and hence we do not anticipate any problem on this account.

FREE RESIDUAL CHLORINE (FRC)

FRC at inlet to RO shall be monitored at least once a shift and recorded, as presence of FRC

is detrimental to the performance of membrane.

pH RANGE

The allowable operating pH range is 4 to 11 during normal operation of RO Plant. The pH of

feed water shall be monitored once in a shift in a lab.

7
On achieving the limiting conditions of RO, it is further dosed with chemicals such as
SMBS and Antiscalant dosing.

SMBS DOSING / ORP METER with DUMP VALVE

The filtered water is dosed with SMBS for de-chlorination of any residual chlorine present.

ORP meter is provided after SMBS dosing to measure the free residual chlorine present, if

any.

ANTISCALANT DOSING

The water is dosed with antiscalant to avoid calcium and magnesium scaling on the

membranes.
