RAQUAMISER+ FRAMED SYSTEMS USER MANUAL & INSTALLATION GUIDEINTRODUCTION Congratulations on joining an elite group of like-minded boat and yacht owners, who value their investment and have chosen the industry's most reliable and advanced marine reverse osmosis system available. A great deal of time and effort has been put into the design and manufacture of your new FCI Watermakers desalination system. Please take time to read this entire manual and familiarize yourself with its operation. It will benefit yoi: by insuring long trouble-free operation, ‘Thank you for purchasing FCI Watermakers Reverse Osmosis Systm, Your choice of FCT Watermakers proves tat quality craftsmanship and performance ‘do matter. The system you have chosen ofthe highest quality, and ti the ‘most advanced watermaker availabe today. Over 25 years of experience, 18 ‘months of engineering and extensive lb testing hs gone nt the dexiga of our make. In fact many industry standards area result of innovations made by FCT Watermakers, including one-touch commands, multiple tation operation and remote system control Each component was chosen forts ality to withstand the ‘arin environment and 1 provide a liftineoftrouble-fre operation, Design considerations included noise, size, ease of use and simple maintenance. Is open frame construction allows quick, as inspections and ads in shipboard or land based maintenance without having to move the system from it oat, ‘The intent ofthis manual ist allow the operator to become ule with ‘ach component of the reverse osmosis system. By understanding tl function, importance and pormal operation ofeach watermaker modo, the operator can readily diagnose minor problems, When such problems frst arse, they usualy reuire minor malmtenance an the fs is aaly ‘omrected, However, iff unattended a problem in one component may ‘eventually affect the rest ofthe system and it could lead to further repairs C1 Watermaers systems use non-proprietary membranes that re readily svailbleworkwide, and the systems are designed tobe more tolerant of| ‘eater conditions. Your vessel travels around the world and encounters ‘rater that varies in both alaity and particulate FCI utlizes low RPM Component that allow fll fnction operation in these conditions CI has the most comprehensive warranty on the market The entre line of FEL marine eres (Max and Aquarisrs) systems are covered fortwo years onal on- Consumable parts.

BOUNDARY LAYER / CONCENTRATION POLARIZATION ‘When water permeates through the membrane, nary ll he salts et bohind inthe brine channel In any dynamic hydraulic system the Bid adjacent tothe wal ofthe vessel is moving relatively slo. Eventhough ‘themain body ofthe stream is turbulent, a thin film adjacent othe wall, (evembrane) lamina. This thin im called the boundary layer. the eed wate ow is insuiint, the salts are saturated atthe boundary layer and can readily adhere to and pack into the RO, membrane element surface. For ths reason itis important to maintain sient fed wate flow through ‘he R.O. membrane element and prevent concentration polarization. BRINE VELOCITY ‘Thebrine vdocty. or flow, over the membrane surfce is very important to both product water quality and quantity. At low fows, concentration polarization occurs causing the water quality to decline In adltion oinferor product water quay low brine flows an increas the precipitation of sparingly soluble sls. The sls wil foul the RO. membrane element surface (Concentration polarization). IF this occurs, the product water ux (production ill dealin. The fed pump integrated design provides relatively smoath and contin low of fed water across and through the KO. membwane element. ‘compaction Some densification of the membrane stractare may take place while operating at elevated pressures, above 1000 PS. The change iknoven as compaction and is accompanied bya reduction in the water permeation ate ‘When the RO. membrane lementis subjected to elevated pressures beyond 1000 PS, the product water channel becomes squeeze, resulting in restriction and product water recovery reduction OSMOTIC PRESSURE ‘he trancer ofthe water from one ade af the membrane othe other will continue uot the head (pressure i great enough to prevent any ne tansler ‘ofthe sven ates) to the more concentrated fed wate) solution At oqilibram, the quantity of water passing in ether direction sequal, and the head pressure i then defined ss the "osmotic resure” ofthe solution having that particular concentration of dissolved solidsGLOSSARY OF TERMS (continued) PRESSURE ‘The operating pressure ha direst fect on product water qualityand quantity. Both factors wll increase asthe system presse inereases (within design limi). “The system must be operate atthe lowest presse required to achieve the designed product water flow rate This parameter also minimizes compaction, which occurs faster at higher pressures and temperatures. Atlow temperatures o high salinity fed wate the system wil have to operate at higher than normal presute to maintain the specified amount of product water flow Tiss normal and i duet the design characteristics ofthe system, SPIRAL-WOUND MEMBRANE The spiral-wound membrane consists of mukple membrane envelopes. ach formed by enclosing channelized product water carrying materi between two large lat membrane sess The membrane envelope is clea on three edges with ‘epscia adhesive and tached with the adhesive to smal diameter pipe | polypropylene seen used to form the feed water channel betwen the membrane ‘envelopes.
