AUXILIARY NOZZLE
•The Main Nozzle is sized to provide a concentrate system resistance (concentrate pressure) equal to the
maximum design pressure at a constant design concentrate brine flow rate. The auxiliary nozzle is sized to
about 20‐25% of the area of the Main Nozzle. The ANCV controls flow to the AN in the turbine casing. The
ANCV will provide a 20‐30% pressure range at a constant brine flow.
Presented to Hyflux

TURBOCHARGER OPTIMISATION CONTROL AND OPERATION
o To reduce brine pressure, open the auxiliary nozzle valve until the desired brine flow and pressure are obtained.
o Opening the ANCV reduces the brine pressure and consequently reduces the boost pressure. Opening the ANCV
increases the total nozzle area, allowing more flow and/or a lower pressure. This is typically done during those
periods of RO plant operation that require less pressure than the maximum designed membrane pressure.
o To increase brine pressure, close the auxiliary nozzle valve until the desired brine flow and pressure are
obtained. The TURBO will produce the most boost pressure when the ANCV is fully closed.
• The Aux Nozzle valve can be manual (as shown) or actuated.

• If automated, the best control signal is the brine flow.

• Filtration:
Debris can damage the Turbo’s thrust bearing through the thrust line.
A minimum 10 micron (nominal) filtration is required for the feedwater.
System must be thoroughly flushed before the first start up to avoid residual
material from the construction to enter the Turbo
Presented to Hyflux
7
• Backpressure:
If the backpressure in the turbine exhaust (turbine out) line is too low, there is a risk of destructive
cavitation on the impeller turbine face and thrust bearing.
A backpressure of is necessary in order to avoid cavitation. A Pressure Indicator is REQUIRED to
monitor the exhaust pressure. The backpressure required mainly depends upon feedwater quality.
• What else?
Do not exceed the operating limits especified in the correspondent Turbo TDS for each model.
Comply with the REQUIRED instrumentation as per the ERI Turbo P&ID review form.
ERI has generated a typical Turbo P&ID drawing to ensure that our customers are successful.

o Does the Turbo need to be flushed?

Yes, if the Turbo is not going to run for a medium to long period of time, it
needs to be flushed with fresh water. Also ERI recommends to flush the unit
on every shut down to minimize the risk of corrosion.
o Does the Turbo need to be CIP cleaned?

No, the Turbo does not need to be cleaned with chemicals. It can be isolated
during CIP, or thoroughly flushed with fresh water after CIP, the cleaning
chemicals are normally OK for the TC. In order to minimize the risk of any
debris (detached from the membranes) to remain inside the TC –even after
flushing‐ ERI recommends to isolate the TC during CIP procedures.

o How to start a system with a Turbo
‐ First start your feed pump.

‐ Bleed all air from the system until water comes out of vent valves
‐ Start your HPP, pressure in the system will increase, DP across the turbine side will
drive the Turbo and boost the pump side until reaching the operating conditions.
‐ Check flow rates and pressures, adjust HPP VFD/Valve, or Aux. nozzle valve as
needed.
o …And stop…?
‐ Stop the HPP.

‐ Stop the feed pump.
‐ Flush the membranes, HPP and Turbo with fresh water.
