SYSTEM DESCRIPTION (SYSTEM AND SUB-SYSTEM)

The Fully Automated PLC based Purified Water Generation system generate 2 m3/hr. of Purified water as Per USP Standards.

SCHEME:

PRETREATMENT & PURIFIED WATER GENERATION SYSTEM: 

PRE TREATMENT: (3800 LPH)

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:

Raw water before Raw Water Tank is dosed with Sodium Hypochlorite 1 – 2 ppm. Raw water feed pump will feed raw water from the raw water storage tank to Multi Grade Filter @ 7000 LPH.

Multi Grade Filter is a vertical down flow vessel containing pure graded silex quartz as a filtering media. The vessel is fabricated in FRP. The water generated at the outlet of Multi Grade Filter will have suspended solids less than 5 ppm. Multi Grade Filter is provided with Manual Backwash. We have provided manual ball valves of for change over from normal operation to Backwash operation.

(Note that the inlet suspended solid load should not be more than 50 ppm).

The water from Multi Grade Filter is passed through Softener. Hardness after softener is  less than 5 ppm. Soft Water after Softener unit is fed to Purified Water Generation System.

Sodium Metabisulphite (Na2S2O5) is then dosed in the chlorinated water to neutralize the free chlorine (excess chlorine) present in the filtered water.

Antiscalent Dosing System is then dosed in the soft water to avoid scale formation on the RO Membranes.

pH Correction Dosing System is provided to adjust the feed pH of  RO feed water as 6.5 – 8.5. The treated water is then passed through 5 micron Cartridge Filter to trap the suspended solids. This will avoid chocking of RO membranes due to suspended solids.

ORP Analyzer is provided so as to check the absence/presence of chlorine in the feed water to the RO System. If free chlorine is sensed in the feed water it will give an indication on the panel & open the dumping valve and dump the high ORP water for 300 secs. & Even if the ORP value is not below the set point it will trip the system.

This soft water is then fed to the Reverse Osmosis First pass System by means of a High Pressure Vertical multistage Pump with SS 304 wettable parts of M/s. Grundfos, Denmark. The First pass Reverse Osmosis System will generate 2700 liters/hr. water with an overall recovery of 70 %. The generated water will have total dissolved solids less than 150 ppm. The semi-permeable reverse osmosis membrane has molecular weight cut off less than 150 MWCO. The Reveres Osmosis membrane acts as positive barrier to remove dissolved solids, organic compounds & bacteria.

The Reverse Osmosis System consists of thin film composite type Reverse Osmosis membrane of DOW. The material of construction of the RO membrane is Polyamide. The RO membrane is housed in the High Pressure SS 316L Wettable Parts Housing having TC end connection.

The outlet water of RO pass one is feed to RO pass two system. The Second pass Reverse Osmosis System will generate 2200 liters/hr. of water with an overall recovery of 80%. The generated water will have total dissolved solids less than 15-20 ppm.

The Reverse Osmosis System consists of thin film composite type Reverse Osmosis membrane of DOW. The material of construction of the RO membrane is Polyamide. The RO membrane is housed in the High Pressure SS 316L Wettable Parts Housing having TC end connection.

The water generated from the outlet of EDI will be as per USP  Standards for Purified Water.
