3.4 Process Description

The client is to provide the raw water line to the inlet line of the filter feed
pumps. The media filter is provided with layers of filtering with supporting
gravel to remove any suspended solids and turbidity in the raw water. Feed
water is presumed to be free of bacteria and biological growth.

The system is provided with a pre-chlorination, Carbon Filter, and antiscalant-

dosing pumps to dose metered quantities of these chemicals in the filtered
water. This reduces the risk of scaling in the membranes. This water is
filtered further through cartridge filter. Cartridge filter with 5-micron rating
installed at the inlet of the R.O. train protects the high pressure pump and
the membranes from suspended solids that may have passed through the
media filter.

The high pressure booster pump feeds the filtered and chemically treated
raw water to the Reverse Osmosis membranes at high pressure. When raw
water at high pressure is fed to the Reverse Osmosis membrane, almost pure
water or permeates passes through the membrane while salts are retained in
the brine side. Permeate from Reverse Osmosis membrane unit is collected in
a manifold, to storage tank. Brine reject from the RO membranes is
continuously removed & disposed.

This permeate is usually acidic and corrosive. Caustic soda solution is dosed
to adjust the pH & reduce the corrosiveness of the product water. Brine
reject from the RO membranes is continuously removed & disposed.

Power Supply

The available power supply: 380 V, 3 Phase, 60 Hz.
