9 Sea Water supplied by Partner flows (PR) through the
metering station to DMF.
9 Sea water flow to DMF filter cells is regulated by the control

valves and flow, pressure, temperature and quality are
monitored in the metering station.
9 Sea water is supplied to the Dual Media Filter (DMF),

consisting of (24) Cells for PH1 & (12) Cells for PH2,
9 Which removes the suspended colloidal matter and brings

down the Silt Density Index (SDI) of sea water to the
allowable value (approximately to <4) of 1st RO modules.

9 The sea water flows through the DMF which is a bed of filter media of anthracite,
sand and gravel.
9 Suspended particulates are removed as the seawater flows through the media
bed.
9 Solids are removed within the depth of the granular material and filtered water is
taken out through the under-drain system to the filtered water clear well.
9 The underdrains are designed to uniformly distribute air and water during the air
scouring and backwash operations of the DMF cells.
9 Ferric Chloride and Sulfuric Acid is dosed at the outlet of metering station for
coagulation and pH control respectively for PH1( Mainly Sulfuric V/v closed
locally). So the main dosing of Sulfuric after the MCF for PH2.
9 Ferric Chloride only is dosed for PH2

9The sea water quality after the chemical injection

is continuously monitored by the on line analyzer

9The chemical dosing is adjusted to maintain the

specified concentration in sea water to DMF.
9Sea water supplied to each DMF cell is equally

distributed over the cell.

Train through MCF.
9During filtration, DMF cell is blocked gradually. So,

each cell is regenerated by Back Wash System.
9Silt Density Index (SDI) is a parameter of water

quality which indicates the quantity of particulate
matter in the water.
9SDI is applicable to relatively low turbidity waters

(NTU < 1.0)
Student Handout 20

Student Handout 22
Filtration Mode
9 The sea water is fed to the surface of the cell bed layer by operating the sea
water supply valve.
9 The water level in the cell is maintained by the DMF cell level control valve.
Clear water flows down to the filtered water clear well.
9 As the filter media gradually becomes dirty (clogged with suspended impurities)
over a period of time, the differential pressure gradually increases and the level
control valve has to open more & more to maintain the water level.
9 A regeneration of the cell is done normally once in twenty four (24) hour period.
9 Depending upon seawater quality, the regeneration

cycle of eighteen (18) hours and thirty six (36) or 48
hours can be adopted. PH2

FILTERED WATER PUMP SYSTEM

1. Filtered water pump (FWP) has only Drive Level Control. Each pump is
started / stopped by operator considering the HP feed pump running
count.
2. Each FWP can meet the flow requirement of four (4) HP feed pumps.
3. When one (1) HP feed pump is started, the dump flow control valve
modulates to maintain the FWP minimum flow. When the second HP feed
pump is started and the total flow increase over 2,500t/hr, the dump flow
control valve closes.

DMF Modes of Operation
in some RO plants:
1- Automatic Mode
2- Semi-Automatic Mode
3- Manual (Hand) Mode

Student Handout 101
1- Automatic Mode
• The operator interface shall consist of an
“Automatic/Manual” toggle button for each filter.
• In the “Automatic” position, this button will place that

filter in the automatic mode.
• In addition, if applicable, all valve select switches, and
the mode select switch for that filter must placed in the
automatic position.
Student Handout 102
• When in automatic mode, the filter will initiate

backwashes automatically if conditions exist that
require the backwash and permissive allow.
• In automatic mode the operator may also initiate the

backwash provided no other filter is in the backwash
and permissive allow.
Student Handout 103
2- Semi-Automatic Mode
9 When in Semi-Automatic mode, if a condition arises which would
require the backwash operation, a “Backwash Required” message
would indicate on the operator interface, but the filter would
continue to run In-Service.
9 The operator can then manually initiate the backwash either

via the “Backwash Start” momentary button on the operator
interface.
9 The backwash sequence will then proceed to completion

automatically.
Student Handout 104
3- Manual (Hand) Mode

9 The filter “Manual” toggle button being in the “Manual” position
will place that filter in manual mode.
9 If applicable, placing any of the filter valves switches in the hand
position will also place that filter in manual mode.
9 In manual mode all valves will be closed unless

operated manually via the operator interface (or hand
switches if applicable).
9 In this mode no automatic sequencing or operations will take
place.
NOT recommended as 1st choice
Student Handout 105
Cartridge Filter System
9 The cartridge filters are primarily used as a safety Filter

to protect the RO membranes from any large particles within
size of 10 to 5 micron , which could be present in the feed
stream.
9 Any such large particles (such as media filter sand leakage,

etc.) will be captured by the cartridge filter to prevent them
from going to and damaging the RO membranes.
Student Handout 115
9 Typically SDI of feed water is not improved through CF as

vast majority of suspended solids which do make it through
the pretreatment to the cartridge filters are smaller than
5 um (μ).
9 CF removes suspended solids which is larger than 5 micron

from feed water.

Overview
The Desalination Plant Chemical System provides the following facility for dosing various
chemicals at appropriate locations through out the flow stream; starting from sea water inlet
battery limit to desalinated water tanks
ͻFerric Chloride dosing at the inlet to DMF, for coagulation of suspended impurities in sea
water, to improve the filtration efficiency.
ͻSulfuric Acid dosing at the inlet to DMF, for adjusting the pH of sea water to promote
coagulation.
ͻSulfuric Acid dosing at the outlet of MCF, for preventing scale formation and protection of the
1st pass RO membrane against hydrolysis.
ͻSodium Bisulfite dosing for de-chlorination of the feed to RO membranes. De-chlorination

helps to reduce the oxygen reduction potential (ORP) of the filtered feed water.
ͻCaustic Soda dosing for adjustment of pH before the 2nd & 3rd Pass RO feed pumps.
ͻSodium Hypochlorite dosing to backwash water & backflow water to prevent marine and
other biological growth inside pipelines & equipment.
ͻChemical cleaning system to facilitate the cleaning of fouling materials on the surface of RO
membranes and to restore the performance.

Sodium hypochlorite NaCLO

• This chemical is mainly added to the water to prevent marine and other
biological growth inside pipelines & equipment, which blocks the flow path.
• 12% concentrated sodium hypochlorite is dosed approx. @ 0.2mg/l and feed

flow ratio is adjusted remote manually and is achieved by varying the stroke
length.
• The dosing pumps transfer the sodium hypochlorite chemical solution to the
dosing points.
• The dosing tanks are common for both sets of pumps.
• The tank level Low & High are annunciated at DCS.
• The standby dosing pump is placed in service automatically, when the

Ferric Chloride Injection Control
Ferric Chloride is added to the sea water before it enters

the DMF.
This chemical coagulates the suspended impurities in

sea water and ensures an efficient filtration as the sea
water passes through the DMF bed of materials. 40%
concentrated ferric chloride is dosed @ 0.7mg/l (as Fe for
raw seawater) using diaphragm pumps, under normal sea
water conditions.
Feed flow ratio control is adopted and is achieved by

varying the stroke length. The dosing rate indicated is for
the design conditions of sea water.
Student Handout 49
RO Plant Simulator
The system consists of:

• Two ferric chloride dosing tanks (D0GDN02BB101/102), each of storage
capacity 22.3m3.
• The ferric chloride solution (a vailable in 200 litre drums, 40%

concentration,
• specific gravity 1.4) is filled through a filling line provided with an isolation
valve (D0GDN02AA001/002) and is connected to the top of the tank.
• Level transmitters (D0GDN02CL101/102) and level indicators

(D0GDN02CL301-306) are provided for monitoring tank level.
• Each tank is fitted with a drain line with an isolation valve

(D0GDN02AA900/901) and an overflow line joins the drain line to drain

¾ Important to know:
Sodium bisulphite (chlorine reducing agent -
neutralize any free chlorine) is dosed either
upstream of the cartridge filters to prevent
chlorine reaching membrane.
Sodium Bisulfate (SBS) solution is made by

dissolving Sodium DĞƚĂďŝƐƵůĨŝƚĞ ;^D^ͿŝŶƚŽ
water & has a pH 4.6.
104
RO Plant Simulator
SBS solution is not stable to air and reacts with

oxygen as well as chlorine, so it is recommended
that batch less than 2% by weight be used within
3-7days and batch solutions less than 10% be
used within 7-14days.
Failing SBS dosing, ORP (Oxidation-Reduction

Potential) reading will go high (up to 500 mV)
and will stop SWRO to protect membranes
against chlorine attack. Normal reading = 250 MV
High level 450 MV -- Warn
HH = 500 MV -- RO Trip
105
RO Plant Technology
SODIUM BISULPHITE (SBS - 37% NaHSO3) is used to

neutralize any residual chlorine that may be present in the
filtered sea water to the cartridge filters.
When Sodium meta bi sulfite - SMBS dissolved in water, sodium

bisulfite (SBS) is formed : Na2S2O5 + H2O ĺ 2 NaHSO3
The default dosing rate is 2 ppm

However based on plant operating experience this should be adjusted to
minimize the sodium bisulfite dosing consumption while neutralizing
all residual chlorine.
Student Handout 106
RO Plant Simulator
Sodium Bisulfite ( NaHSO3) Dosing System :

1- Sodium bisulfite is added to the filtered water after the MCF.
2- This chemical does the de-chlorination and reduces the oxygen reduction
potential of the feed
3- SBS is dosed for the removal of any residual chlorine as the RO membranes are
vulnerable for chlorine attack.
4- When residual chlorine is high, the Oxygen Reduction Potential (ORP) is High, so
by measuring ORP, indirectly the presence of high residual chlorine is detected.
5- The oxygen reduction potential (ORP) is monitored on line.
Student Handout 107

RO Plant Simulator
Sodium Bisulfite ( NaHSO3) Dosing System :
6- This continuous dosing is done for a period of 7hrs during an 8 hrs operation
period for 1st pass RO bank feed.
34% concentrated sodium bisulfite (SBS) is dosed approx. @ 0.75mg/l (for feed
seawater) as oxygen scavenger, at the outlet of MCF (1st pass RO bank feed
seawater) using diaphragm pumps.
7- SBS is also dosed at the outlet of low TDS flush tank (2nd pass RO bank feed),
using separate dosing pumps to prevent any chlorine residue entering the RO
membranes during stoppage of SBS injection of 1st pass RO bank.
8- Shock dosing of SBS is adopted intermittently, at a very high rate of approx. @

500mg/l for the 2nd & 3rd pass RO bank, when sudden high differential pressure
across RO banks is noticed or the quality of water goes bad suddenly.
Student Handout 108
RO Plant Simulator
9- The system consists of two sodium bisulfite dosing tanks (D0GDN042BB101/102),

each of storage capacity 56.7m3
10- Level transmitters (D0GDN04CL101/102) are provided for monitoring tank

level. Each tank is fitted with a drain line with an isolation valve
11- In PH1 - There are three (3) sets of sodium bisulfite dosing pumps as
follows:
• Sodium bisulfite dosing pumps for 1st pass RO / Outlet CF
• Sodium bisulfite dosing pumps for 2nd pass RO / Outlet TDS Tank
• Sodium bisulfite shock dosing pumps on 2nd pass RO – only for PH1

9 The water level in the cell is maintained by the DMF cell level control valve.
Clear water flows down to the filtered water clear well.
9 As the filter media gradually becomes dirty (clogged with suspended impurities)
over a period of time, the differential pressure gradually increases and the level
control valve has to open more & more to maintain the water level.
9 A regeneration of the cell is done normally once in twenty four (24) hour period.

The following Controls are provided for Desalination Plant
Filtration System:
1. Seawater supply flow control

2. Dual media filter (DMF) level control
3. Backwash waste flow control
4. Filtered water dump flow control.
The control valves are operated from the desalination plant control room DCS.
Normally they are in automatic mode, however, each control valve can be
controlled from remote manual, when necessary.
Can you see the location on DCS screens?

66
1- Seawater Supply Flow Control:

9 Seawater from battery limit flows through the metering station to the 24 or 12
DMF filter cells.
9 The flow is regulated by two control valves, one is operated initially AA701 to 40
% and when the flow demand is more, the second control valve AA700 to 60 %
comes into operation, as the first one reaches its full open position.
9 The seawater flow is controlled to maintain a preset filtered water clear

well level.
9 The seawater feed controller receives the Flow and Level signals and
repositions the control valves to maintain the Filtered Water Clear well
level.

2- Dual media filter (DMF) level control
1. Each DMF cell level is to be maintained at a minimum level always

when the filtration is on.
2. This is achieved by the regulation of the flow control valve located in

the filtered water flow line from DMF cell underdrain.
3. The low and high level in DMF cell is annunciated in DCS.
4. During the backwash cycle of DMF, this control valve is forced

closed.
74

75
3- Backwash Waste Flow Control
9 The backwash water is collected in the backwash waste tank.
9 A minimum level in the tank is to be maintained always, while

disposing the waste water to the brine transfer line.
9 The control valve is regulated to maintain the level in the backwash

waste tank.
76
77
4- Filtered Water Dump Flow Control
9 The excess filtered water from the outlet of MCF is dumped to the
backwash tank, specifically during start-up operation.
78
9 Five (5) nos. of Filtered water pumps in PH1 & Three ( 3) for PH2 are
provided in the desalination plant to feed filtered water to the RO trains.
Show on your DCS screen????
9 The filtered water flow is higher than the flow to RO trains, specifically
during start-up operation. Hence it is necessary to dump the excess
filtered water to the backwash tank.

Startup Instructions
9 The Dual Media Filters are started first and filtered water is collected
in filtered water clear well.
9 The filtered water pump is then started and seawater passes through
the Micron Cartridge Filters and is dumped to backwash tank.
9 As and when the filtered water attains the quality acceptable to RO
System in terms of Conductivity, pH, ORP and turbidity, the HPFP
is started and RO Trains are placed in service one by one.

9 The cartridge filters are primarily used as a safety Filter

to protect the RO membranes from any large particles within
size of Ten micron ( + 10 ʅ) , which could be present in the feed
stream. ( Other Plants may be reach 5 ʅ)
9 Any such large particles (such as media filter sand leakage,

etc.) will be captured by the cartridge filter to prevent them
from going to and damaging the RO membranes.

(3-1) High Pressure Feed Pump (HPFP) Unit

HPFP pressurizes filtered water to Max. 70 kg/cm
m2. which is
required value for 1st pass RO membrane operation.
HPFP/ Energy Recovery Turbine (ERT) and Motor are combined
with each shafts by coupling connection.
ERT recover about 40% of HPFP required shaft power at the rated
operational condition.
The motor is High Voltage type (13.2 kV).
Individual Lubricant Oil Unit (LOU) is installed on each HPFP unit.
ERT has two (2) nos. of Pelton wheels and is worked by driven
force of the high pressure brine from 1st RO bank. The pressure of
brine turn from Approx. 69 kg/cm
m2 into atmospheric pressure.

Normal Shutdown
A normal shutdown is the process of
safely shutting down of individual
equipment in sequence without affecting
the normal operation of the system.
This process can be done by isolating,

draining and purging an equipment item
to make it safe for maintenance work.
Such cases,
• The desalination tank is at level HIGH-
HIGH.
• Scheduled maintenance
• The plant production exceeds the
demand.
• Filtrated water level become low.
Student Handout 2
Emergency Shutdown
As the name suggest, an emergency shutdown is done due to

emergency situation where a plant needs to shutdown
because of accidents such as:
• Sudden equipment failure
• Overpressure
• Fire
• Heavy water leakage
• Accidents
In this process, the system needs to be shutdown quickly as

possible, then de-pressurise and drain equipment and lines
to leave them in the safest possible condition.
Emergency shutdowns can create extra wear and tear on

machinery, as the shutdown time is shorter than for a normal
shutdown.

RO Train Shutdown
Preparation for System Shutdown
1- All RO trains are shutdown, when there is no more requirement of desalinated
water to be product.
During normal operation one or two RO trains are shutdown when the desalinated
water demand is low.
2- A single RO train is also shutdown when it requires chemical cleaning due to
fouling of modules or high differential pressure as seen by the Operator.
RO Train Shutdown
3- The shutdown permissive for any RO train is dependent on the HP feed pump
and FWP running count.
One FWP can meet the feed requirement of four (4) HP feed pumps.
4- The 3rd Pass RO feed pump is stopped first and then 2nd Pass RO feed pump is
stopped after positioning the 1st Pass RO permeate 3way valve to the dump mode.
5- The auxiliary pump of LO unit is started and HPFP is stopped.
6- The Operator initiates the shutdown command from DCS and Group Sequence
Control Logic executes the shutdown of any RO Train.
6
RO Train Shutdown
7- There are (12) steps in the shutdown of RO Train.
For each step, the logic verifies the permissive conditions and then initiates the
step command.
8- The following procedure describes the shutdown sequence of RO train , by the
Group Sequence Control Logic.
The procedure is identical for other RO trains.
1- Open the SHUTDOWN Window:
