The Silt Density Index (SDI) value of the pretreated feed water correlates fairly well with the amount
of fouling material present. 8

• Terminology
• Define key parameters influencing quality/quantity of produced water
• Review past lecture
• Being Mindful – Initial cost vs Running Cost
• Optimise your solution
• What are the key parameters in the results?
• Are you happy with results ? – Not sure
• Remember the Iteration stage in the design spiral?
• Did you decide that it is perfect for your customer needs?
• Select components - Refer to past lecture what does an RO consists
of? 12

1. Selection of Pumps; type, flow & head

2. Selection of Pre-treatment filtration; Multimedia
3. Selection of fine-treatment filtration, e.g. micro-filtration & UV .. Why?
4. Design of piping system & Tank
5. Selection of control devices
