Streamlined Operational Framework
Our reverse osmosis (RO) system operates seamlessly to ensure the highest water quality standards. Here's an overview of the process:
Inlet Filtration: Raw water initiates its journey through sediment pre-filters, effectively removing particles and preparing it for further treatment.
Chemical Enhancement: At this stage, the water is precisely dosed with antiscalant and other RO chemicals, a crucial step facilitated by a dosing pump. This treatment step primes the water for the rigorous separation process ahead.
High-Pressure Pumping: The high-pressure pump directs the treated water into the heart of the system—the membrane module or membrane array. It is here that the magic of separation occurs, dividing the incoming feed stream into purified and concentrated streams.
Concentration Management: A portion of the concentrated stream is discharged safely, while the remainder is strategically routed back to the suction end of the high-pressure pump, aptly known as concentrate recycle.
Controlled Discharge: To regulate the rate of concentrate discharge and define the proportion of purified water (permeate) to wastewater (concentrate), a drain flow control mechanism is meticulously integrated. The equilibrium achieved is termed "recovery."
Recycle Optimization: The recycle line is equipped with a flow control system that governs the recycle flow rate, maintaining the essential working pressure within the membrane array. The rate of permeate production is intricately linked to the pressure within the membrane modules.
Permeate Harvesting: The purified permeate flows through the permeate outlet and into the permeate tank, ensuring the pristine quality of the treated water.
Smart Monitoring: Our system operates under the watchful eye of a sophisticated process controller. This controller orchestrates the actions of pumps and valves, executing timely service routines and membrane rinsing protocols as needed. It draws insights from pressure switches, float switches, permeate conductivity and temperature sensors, and external input. Based on these signals, it seamlessly transitions between service mode, membrane rinse cycles, standby, or fault mode.
This comprehensive operational framework guarantees that our RO system consistently delivers the highest quality water, with automated safeguards in place to ensure performance and reliability.
