OVERVIEW
REV. A, PJB
B. MAJOR EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

1) Duplex Multimedia Filters: Unit A & Unit B
Multimedia filtration is used to remove suspended solids from industrial and
municipal water supplies. The filters are very effective in reducing the turbidity of
raw water by removing suspended solids, from coarse sediment down to 10
micrometer (m). Raw water filtration protects the softener ion exchange resin
downstream from particulate fouling.
The normal mode of operation of the Duplex Multimedia Filters is in the parallel
mode such that the inlet flow is split between both filters.
2) Single-Pass Reverse Osmosis Assembly:
Reverse osmosis (RO) removes total dissolved solids (TDS) including ions from
water using polyamide (PA) thin-film composite (TFC) membranes at high
pressure (>100 psig. The reject water contains most of the dissolved solids (> 98%
rejection) and all the suspended solids in the feed water.
The RO system provided is a Single-pass, two-stage unit. A high-pressure, multi-
stage centrifugal pump, P-R1 transfers pre-treated feed water through the RO
membrane elements housed in 8 diameter pressure vessels. Each pressure vessel
contains four elements connected in series.
3) Dual 30ft3 Service Water Softeners
4) Electrodeionization System
Refer to the EDI Operations and Maintenance manual.
5) Cleaning / Sanitization Skid
Employed to Clean and Sanitize the RO and EDI Units when the need arises.
6) Main Control Panel
The Main Control Panel (MCP) houses the Allen-Bradley Micrologix 1200
programmable logic controller (PLC). The panel serves as a control center for the
entire System including the pumps, the manual/automatic operation of the
equipment and process alarms. The MCP is also inter-connected with the
Controller / Stagers, which control the operation of all the automatic valves on the
equipment. The Service, Backwash, Regeneration, and Sanitization modes are
controlled from the MCP.
The status of each unit including Service, Washing, RO pump inlet and outlet
pressure, RO feed water pH, chlorine, temperature and conductivity, product water
pressure and conductivity, product water and reject flow rates, % rejection, and
common alarms are displayed on the ROTroll RO Controller screen. In addition,
control power and equipment start-up switches are provided on the MCP.

(5) Continue Rinsing the filter media for 20 minutes after the water flowing to
the waste drain becomes clear. This can be accomplished by either
disconnecting the power to the Stager Controller, or extending the time for
Rinse.
(6) After initial Rinsing is complete (re-apply power if it was disconnected),
place the Multimedia Filter in the Backwash mode at the Stager Controller
(by passing through the Service mode and re-initiating Backwash). This will
open automatic Backwash inlet and outlet valves V-M2A and V-M3A (V-
M2B and V-M3B Multimedia Filter B).
(7) Continue backwashing the filter media for 20 minutes after the water
flowing to the waste drain becomes clear. This can be accomplished by
either disconnecting the power to the Stager Controller, or extending the
time for Backwash.
(8) After Backwash is complete, place the Multimedia Filter in the Rinse mode
at the Stager Controller by re-applying power (if disconnected) and
allowing the Stager Controller to time-out, or by manually placing it in the
Rinse mode. This will open automatic Rinse inlet and outlet valves V-M1A

J. REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM

Installation/ Replacement of RO Membrane Elements
a. Familiarize yourself with the components of the RO pressure vessels and
membrane assemblies as shown on the enclosed drawings and the manufacturer's
data.
WARNING:
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT, BE SURE THAT
PRESSURE IS RELIEVED FROM THE PIPING AND RO PRESSURE
VESSELS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS WARNING CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT.
b. Remove all piping/tubing connected to the end caps of the RO pressure vessels.
This is most easily accomplished by removing the header assemblies as a unit,
breaking at common points on each vessel.
c. Once the piping/tubing has been removed, loosen the retaining rings on each cap-
end.
d. Remove the retaining rings and end caps from both ends of the housing.
Steps 5 to 10 describe the procedure for removing the membrane elements from the
pressure vessels. If the elements are to be installed in empty pressure vessels, go
directly to Step #11.
e. Inspect the end-closure O-ring and discard if there is any sign of damage.
f. Remove the end adapter from each membrane end, and inspect all O-rings for
damage. Also check the end adapters for cracks and scored surfaces. Replace the
damaged components.
g. From the tube side marked with letter "F" on the vessels final assembly drawings,
push the feed side membrane down toward the opposite end of the pressure
vessel.
NOTE:
A pipe of i.d. large enough to pass over the membrane connection may be used to push
the membrane once it moves beyond easy reach. Make sure to support each membrane
as it protrudes from the opposite end of the vessel so as not to crack the inter-
connectors or damage the membrane elements by dropping them on the ground.
h. As the first membrane protrudes from the opposite end of the vessel, use a gentle
twisting motion to disconnect the membrane from the inter-connector.
i. Remove the inter-connector from the end of the membrane remaining in the
vessel and continue to push the membrane elements through the vessel until the
vessel is empty.

REV. A, PJB
j. Inspect all inter-connectors for cracks, interior scoring, or any other damage.
Inspect the inter-connector O-rings for damage. Replace the damaged
components.
k. Start loading the membrane elements by locating the "U-Cup" brine seal on the
"feed" end of the membrane.
NOTE:
If loose wrapped membranes are used and a brine seal is provided discard the brine
seal. Note the direction in which the seal rolls. All membranes are loaded with the open
end of the brine seal facing the "feed" side of the vessel. Lubricate each brine seal with
glycerin.
l. From the "feed" side (marked with letter "F" on some membrane elements), push
the first element into the pressure vessel making sure that the brine seal is oriented
as indicated in Step #11. Leave about 6 in. of the element exposed beyond the
end of the vessel.
m. Apply glycerin to the O-rings inside both ends of the membrane element inter-
connectors, and slide one end of the inter-connector over the element end fitting
extending out of the housing.
n. Lubricate and orient the second membrane element to be loaded as indicated
above. Align the element with the one previously installed, and slide the exposed
end of the membrane inter-connector over the end fitting on the "downstream"
side of the second element. Push both membrane elements until the second
element is exposed about 6 in. beyond the vessel.
o. Repeat the steps described above until all the membrane elements have been
loaded in the pressure vessel (in this case it is 4 elements/vessel).
p. Push the last membrane element into the vessel until the space left between the
end of the first and last elements, and their respective vessel ends is uniform.
q. Lubricate the interior O-rings of each end connector and slide them into the
remaining end fittings of the first and last elements.
r. Install the thrust rings.
s. Lubricate the exterior O-ring of the exposed ends of each end connector and the
end cap O-rings. Re-install the end cap O-rings into the grooves of the end cap
inner faces.
t. Align the extended tube end of the end cap over the end connector on the
membrane at either end of the pressure vessel. While making sure that the
elements do not move within the vessel, push the end cap onto the end connector
until the cap is flush with the vessel-end. Replace the ring over the end cap and
vessel-end, tightening the retaining nut, "hand tight".
u. Use the same procedure to install the opposite end cap, and then tighten the
retaining ring screws with an Allen wrench. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
v. Use the procedure described above for each pressure vessel, and replace the
piping/tubing headers removed in Step #2.
REV. A, PJB
w. Once the unit has been assembled, hydro-test the RO unit with water at 100 psig.
Turn the RO pump, P-R1 Hand-Off-Auto selector switch to the Hand position on
the Main Control panel to start the pump. Adjust the pressure to 100 psig.
x. Check for leaks after the unit has been placed in Service.
y. Relieve the pressure and tighten leaks as they are noted. If leaks persist, inspect
the surfaces of the leaking components for damage. Replace components as
necessary.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Anti-Scalant injection pump must be manually operated in order to prevent
scaling of the RO Membranes during the initial RO unit filling.
RO Membrane Pre-Service Flushing
(6) Remove the covers from the Cleaning connections and install hoses supplied with
the RO / EDI Cleaning Skid, in the product water and reject lines from the
cleaning connection CIP-R4 (Product) and CIP-R3 (Reject) to the drain. Secure
each hose so that it will not whip around when pressurized.
CAUTION:
Membrane elements are flushed to remove the membrane
preservatives. Water containing the preservative can be harmful if
consumed by humans or animals. Hence, during flushing the RO unit,
product water and reject stream must be diverted to drain.
NOTE:
Make certain all equipment upstream of the RO Unit is in the Service mode of
operation, supplying water to the RO Unit.
(1) Open Sample valves S-R4, S-R5, S-R6, S-R7, S-R8, S-R8, S-R9, S-R10.
NOTE:
The sample valves are opened to purge the air from the RO pressure vessels and piping
during the filling of the RO vessels.
(2) Make sure that the RO Pump P-R1 selector switch is in the OFF position.
(3) Use the manual override button of Solenoid Valve SV-R1 on the ROTROL
Control panel to open automatic inlet valve V-R1 then open manual Cartridge
Filer F-R1 outlet valve H-R3. Also open manual pump inlet and discharge valves
H-R7 and H-R4.
(4) Water will start flowing through the RO pressure vessels. Slowly close the
manual sample valves as water begins to flow from each one
(5) Flush the membranes until there are no traces of the preservative present in the
water flowing to the drain (a good indicator is no foaming).
(6) Check the RO piping for leaks. If leaks occur shut down the water supply and
make the repairs, before completing flushing.

REV. A, PJB
(7) After all traces of the preservative have been flushed from the membrane
elements, prepare the RO unit for Service as described in the next section.
(8) Do not remove the cleaning hoses that are attached to the cleaning connections.
RO Unit Service Preparation
Before proceeding further, review the procedure described above.
(9) Make sure that the RO Pump P-R1 selector switch is in the OFF position.
(10) Set the RO Pump discharge ball valve, H-R4 to 75% Open.
(11) Open the RO Reject needle valve H-R5 halfway.
NOTE:
Read the instruction manual prior to starting a particular pump (refer to the
Manufacturer's Data section). Prior to the operation of each pump, check the
alignment, lubrication and rotation per instructions in the pump manual.
(12) Place the selector switch for the RO Pump, P-R1, in the HAND position to check
the pump rotation (quick on/off jog of the RO Pump selector switch). If the
rotation is incorrect, have the motor wiring corrected by authorized personnel.
CAUTION:
Do not run any pump with the automatic inlet and manual outlet
valves closed. Otherwise, the pump seals may get damaged.
(13) Once RO Pump P-R1 rotation is checked, place the pump selector switch in
the AUTO position.
(14) Once the RO Pump begins operation, adjust Reject needle valve H-R5 to
obtain a 42 GPM Reject flow rate read on RO Reject Flow Indicator FI-R1.
(15) Adjust Reject Recirculation valve H-R6 to obtain a 5 GPM flow rate
indicated on Reject Recirculation Flow Indicator FI-R2.
(16) Throttle manual RO Pump discharge valve H-R4 to obtain an RO product
flow rate of 167 GPM as read on RO Product Flow Indicator FI-R3.
NOTE:
It is likely that flow alarms will occur during this setup. As a result, the RO may need to
be restarted several times before the flow adjustments are finalized.
(17) Once the reject flow rates have been set, place the RO pump selector switch
on the Main Control Panel in the OFF position.
(18) Check that all solenoid valve manual override buttons are in the normal
position. Disconnect the cleaning hoses from the RO Unit and replace the
Cleaning connection covers.
The RO System is now ready for normal service.
1) DUPLEX 30 FT3 SERVICE WATER SOFTENERS

REV. A, PJB
(a) Attach flex hoses (by others) from the RO Outlet connections to the Duplex
30 ft3 Service Water Softeners inlet connections.
(b) Attach flex hoses (by others) from the Duplex 30 ft3 Service Water Softeners
outlet connections to the Inlet connection located on the EDI Skid.
The Duplex 30 ft3 Service Water Softeners are now ready for normal service.
2) EDI UNIT START-UP
Ready EDI System for Service
NOTES:
Divert all Product, Electrode and Concentrate water to an open type waste drain
during the Initial Start-Up of the System.
The E-Cell MK-2 Stacks may require regeneration. To regenerate the MK-2 Stacks,
the system is started up and operated as normal, however, the product water is sent to
drain until it is acceptable. During regeneration, the product water quality will rise from
<1 Mohm.cm to +16 Mohm.cm.
The start up will be initially done in Manual, however, once all flow rates and pressures
have been set, the system will be restarted in Automatic. It is important to have the
system operating in Automatic as soon as possible as this allows the PLC to monitor the
system and shut it down if the operating conditions are unsafe. For MK-2 Stacks that are
regenerated, the same procedure will be followed, however the time required to reach
+16 Mohm.cm will be significantly less.
The basic steps involved in the system start up are:
a) Fill the system with high quality water
b) Set dilute flow
c) Set concentrate flow
d) Set the concentrate inlet pressure
e) Set the electrode flow
f) Start the rectifier
A. EDI START UP
Once the E-Cell System is ready for start up, the Concentrate Loop must be filled. The
initial filling is done with R.O. permeate (or other high quality water). The feed water
must always meet all the quality requirements, this will require the R.O. to be rinsed to
quality before being placed into Service and sending water to the E-Cell System. The
conductivity of the Concentrate loop will initially be the same as the Feed water
conductivity. During regeneration, the conductivity may rise significantly to 1000-2000
S/cm. This rise in conductivity is due to the salt (NaCl) solution that is present in the
MK-2 Stacks from shipping. Systems with MK-2 Stacks shipped in the regenerated state,
would not experience this rise in concentrate conductivity.
In order for the E-Cell System to function effectively, the Concentrate Loop should
have an operating conductivity of 150-600 S/cm. In some cases, it may be necessary to
REV. A, PJB
inject concentrated brine into the Concentrate Loop in order to raise the conductivity
once the system is operating.
Before you start, check:
a) MK-2 Stack dimensions checked
b) Installation check list is complete (Installation Instructions Section)
c) All Valves are closed
d) All pumps are in the Off position
e) Rectifier is in the Off position
f) Safety equipment is installed and operational.
(1) Fill Concentrate Loop
a) Open Concentrate Valve H-E2
b) Open the Concentrate outlet Valve H-E4
c) Slowly crack open the Dilute Feed Inlet Valve H-E1, maintain a low feed pressure
(less than 40 psi) to the MK-2 Stacks to ensure a slow Concentrate Loop fill
d) Once water flows continuously through the Concentrate outlet (no bubbles), close
all valves
The E-Cell System is now ready to flow water.
1) START UP PROCEDURE
Establish Dilute flow
a) Open the Dilute Rinse Outlet Valve H-E6 10-20%
b) Close the Dilute Product Outlet Valve H-E5
c) Slowly open the Dilute Feed Inlet Valve H-E1
d) Adjust the Dilute Rinse Outlet Valve to establish a 7.5-15.0 gpm/MK-2 Stack
(1.70-3.41 m3/h) flow rate.
Establish Concentrate and Electrode flow
a) Open Concentrate Inlet Valve H-E2
b) Open the Concentrate Outlet Valve H-E4. Adjust Concentrate Outlet valve H-E2
to attain 17 GPM. Approximately 10% of Product flow, 0.75 gpm/MK-2 Stack if
Dilute flow is 7.5 gpm/MK-2 Stack (0.17 m3/h for 1.7 m3/h/MK-2 Stack)
c) Slowly adjust the Concentrate Inlet Valve H-E2 until the Concentrate Inlet is 5-10
psi (0.35-0.7 bar) less than the Dilute Feed pressure. If the Concentrate Inlet
Valve is 100% open, and the pressure difference is still greater than10 psi (0.7
bar), throttle the Dilute Feed Inlet Valve H-E1 to decrease the Dilute Inlet
pressure. The Dilute Rinse Outlet Valve will also require adjustment in order to
maintain the required Dilute flow).

REV. A, PJB
d) Open the Electrode Outlet Valve H-E3 to achieve 3.5 gpm. Approximately 0.25 -
.35 gpm/MK-2 Stack (60 l/h)
e) Re-adjust Concentrate Inlet Valve H-E2 again if the pressure difference between
Concentrate and Dilute Feed is not 5-10 psi (0.35-0.7 bar).
f) Set Concentrate Bleed Valve H-E2 to achieve the required recovery. The
recovery rate is calculated by
Product Flow
Recovery = x 100%
Product + Concentrate Bleed + Electrode Flow
The level of hardness in the feed water determines the Recovery rate.
Feed Hardness E-Cell MK-2 NaCl Injection into C-loop (2)
(1)
(ppm as CaCO3) Recovery (uS/cm)
0.0 0.10 95% --
0.10 0.50 90% + 400 500
0.50 0.75 85% + 400 500
0.75 1.00 80% + 400 500
g) Lowering the recovery lowers the hardness level in the concentrate loop and
hence decreases the scaling potential.
h) NaCl injection also reduces the electrical resistance of the stack, and hence the
power consumption.
NOTE:
In conditions with very low Feed water pressures, it may be necessary to throttle the
Concentrate Pump (OPTIONAL) Discharge Valve in order to achieve the required
flows and pressures. This is the reason for the diaphragm valve on the pump discharge.
Confirm All Flows and Pressures
a) Electrode flow is 0.25 - .35 gpm/MK-2 Stack (60 l/h).
b) Dilute Flow is 7.5-15.0 gpm/MK-2 Stack (1.70-3.41 m3/h).
c) Concentrate Bleed Flow is set for the appropriate recovery.
d) Dilute Feed pressure is 5-10 psi (0.35-0.7 bar) more than Concentrate Inlet pressure.
e) Dilute Product pressure is 5-10 psi (0.35-0.7 bar) more than Concentrate Outlet
pressure.
Adjust flows and pressures where required.

REV. A, PJB
Power up Rectifier
CAUTION
The Rectifier will be initially started in Manual mode, with the system operating in
Manual mode. This is only a temporary arrangement to confirm the Rectifier
operation. If the Rectifier is operating with no flow, the MK-2 Stacks will suffer
irreparable damage. Once the Rectifier operation has been confirmed, the system
must be shut down and restarted in Auto so that the PLC can monitor the system
and shut it down if required.
a) Confirm Rectifier hand switch is in the OFF position
b) Set current to 0%, turn the knob counter clockwise (0 Amps)
c) Set voltage to 100%, turn the knob clockwise (the rectifier may not reach 600
Volts while in operation, but this configuration allows it to go up to 600 volts if
required.)
d) Switch Rectifier hand switch to HAND
e) Press the FAULT RESET button
f) Press START button
g) Slowly increase current to 2 amps/MK-2 Stack. If the concentrate conductivity is
low, the maximum current will also be low. As the concentrate conductivity
increases, so will the current.
NOTE:
With this configuration, the Rectifier to be current limited, the Rectifier will adjust
voltage 0-600 VDC in order to maintain the 2 amp/MK-2 Stack current.
NOTE:
If there is no current flow (but 600 VDC, and 150 S/cm Concentrate conductivity),
turn off the Rectifier and power supply and shut the down the system. Check that all E-
Cell MK-2 Stack power cables are tightly connected and all fuses are good. If the
problem persists, review the Electrical Submittal. Failing this, contact E-Cell
Corporation.
Once the system is operating satisfactorily with respect to flows, pressure and current, the
system must be switched from Manual operation to Automatic operation.
2) AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Once the system has been started up in manual, and all flows and pressures set, it must be
shut down and restarted in automatic.
a) Turn off Rectifier by pressing STOP, place the hand switch into AUTO
b) Turn off Concentrate pump (OPTIONAL) by selecting OFF with the hand switch
then, place hand switch into AUTO
c) Place the hand switch on the Brine Pump (optional) to Off

REV. A, PJB
d) Select Service from the operator interface

NOTE:
The Brine Pump is set in the Off position because the conductivity in the Concentrate
loop may be high enough to allow sufficient current flow. If the Concentrate loop
conductivity remains below 150 S/cm after half an hour of operation, start the Brine
Pump by selecting AUTO (Below 150 S/cm, current flow may be too low). The brine
injection should be ramped up very slowly to prevent a sudden conductivity increase
and therefore a sudden current increase through the MK-2 Stacks which could blow a
fuse.
Once the resistivity of the product water is sufficient, or above 16 Mohm.cm, the
regeneration is complete. The Dilute Product Outlet valve may be opened and the Rinse
Outlet valve closed.
CAUTION
This water treatment system contains dangerously high voltage, which is
harmful to human health. Do not touch the system while the rectifier is charged.
Make sure all appropriate safety equipment is in the area before continuing.

C. E-CELL SYSTEMTM PROLONGED SHUT DOWN

If the E-Cell System is shut down for more than three days, it must be prepared for
long-term shutdown and storage, to hinder the development of biogrowth.
NOTE:
Power to the E-Cell MK-2 Stacks must be off during all steps of the preparation for
long-term shutdown!
NOTES:
Allow E-Cell System TM to drain such that no standing water remains in the Stacks TM.
Close all E-Cell System TM inlet and outlet valves so that Stacks TM remain moist.
Alternatively, disconnect hoses and cap all five Stack fittings with original caps
supplied.
After long-term shutdown, the endplate distances of the E-Cell MK-2 Stacks will
require inspection and possibly adjustment. See the Section 3.9 for Stack endplate
distance adjustment procedures.
After long-term shutdown, E-Cell MK-2 Stacks may require regeneration.
Regeneration will require approximately 8 to 16 hours.
1) SAFETY
a) Depressurize all process lines to avoid high-pressure chemical spray.
b) The E-Cell System operates at high voltage. Before performing any
maintenance, ensure rectifier power is off and the rectifier properly tagged

OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
REV. A, PJB
IV. OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION

A. NORMAL SERVICE OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
NOTE:
Detail description of the system is included in Section B System/Component
Operation
RO feed water pre-treatment is essential for ensuring efficient membrane operation, and
preventing scaling and fouling of RO membranes.
Raw water to be treated enters the Demineralized Water System and flows into and
through the Duplex Multimedia Filters in the parallel mode of operation. The media
filters are used to remove suspended solids down to 10 micrometer (m) in size. The
filter is operated automatically via Controller / Stager and undergoes periodic washing
to remove the sediment collected in the column. Only one Multimedia Filter is in
washing at a time.
Water enters Multimedia Filter Unit A through automatic valve V-M1A and flows
downward through the media in the column and exits the column through automatic
valve V-M5A to the RO Skid.
Water enters Multimedia Filter Unit B through automatic valve V-M1B, flows
downward through the media in the column, and exits the column through automatic
valve V-M5B to the RO Skid.
The Dual Multimedia Filters will remain in the Service mode of operation until either
the preset Time set point in the Controller / Stager or the Operator manually initiates the
Washing mode of operation.
Duplex Multimedia Filters effluent water flows to the inlet of the RO System.
The water enters the RO System through automatic valve V-R1, passes through 5-
Micron RO Prefilter F-R1, which is employed to remove particulate matter from the RO
Feed water down to the 5-micron level, and then passes through manual filter outlet
valve H-R3.
The water is then chemically treated with an Anti-Scalant Chemical solution, which is
stored in Anti-Scalant Chemical Tank TK-R1 via Anti-Scalant Chemical Pump P-R2,
which is preset to a fixed stroke and frequency achieved during the Initial Start-Up of
the System.
The Anti-Scalant is employed to prevent build-up of scale on the RO Membranes.
The Anti-Scalant Chemical solution enters the RO Feed water stream through a
Backflow preventer valve.
The water then passes through a static mixer MX-R1 to thoroughly mix the water and
chemical solution and then flows to the RO System skid.
Pressure Switch PS-R1 monitors the Feed water pressure to RO Pump P-R1. Should
the Feed water pressure decrease to the preset minimum set point, an alarm condition,
PAL-R1 RO UNIT LOW FEED PRESSURE ALARM, will occur.

REV. A, PJB
The alarm light on the RO Controller panel will illuminate and the alarm horn will
sound. The RO FEED LOW PRESSURE alarm will be displayed on the display. The
Feed Pump P-F1 (by others), RO and EDI units will shutdown.
The Feed water passes through manual Pump inlet valve H-7, Pump P-R1, which is
employed to pump the water through the Single-Pass, two-stage (5:2 array) RO unit and
then passes through manual pump discharge valve H-R4.
A Variable Speed Drive VFD-R1 controls RO Feed Pump P-R1.
Conductivity Element AE-R1 and AE-R2 monitor the Conductivity of the RO Feed
Water.
Should the percent rejection across the RO unit decrease to the preset minimum set
point, an alarm condition, AAL-R1, RO LOW PERCENT REJECTION will occur. The
alarm horn will sound.
RO Pressure vessels PV-R1, PV-R2, PV-R3, PV-R4 and PV-R5, constitute Stage I.
Reject water from Stage I flows into Pressure Vessel PV-R6 and PV-R7 as Feed water,
which make up Stage II. The reject water from Stage II Pressure Vessels is then split
into two distinct streams.
The first stream, Reject Recycle is diverted back to the inlet of the RO Skid through
manual needle valve H-R6.
The second stream, Reject to Drain is diverted to the waste drain through manual needle
valve H-R5
Flow Element FE-R1 monitors the Reject water flow rate. Should the Reject water flow
rate decrease to the preset minimum set point, an alarm condition, FAL-R1 RO
REJECT LOW FLOW ALARM, will occur. The alarm light on the RO Controller
panel will illuminate and the alarm horn will also sound. The RO REJECT LOW
FLOW alarm will be displayed on the display.
Flow Element FE-R3 monitors the Product water flow rate. Should the Product water

1) Duplex Multimedia Filter Unit A & Unit B
Normal Service Operation
The normal mode of operation for the duplex filters is in parallel with both units in
service.
During normal service operation, the water passes through automatic valve V-
M1A. Water flows down through the layers of media and out Multimedia Filter
Unit A through automatic valve V-M5A. Similarly, water passes automatic valve
V-M1B. Water flows down through the layers of media and out Multimedia Filter
Unit B through automatic valve V-M5B to the RO System skid.
The normal Service run continues until the Controller / Stager starts the Washing
mode of operation based on preset time set point. The operator may also manually
initiate the Washing at any time. Once initiated, the Washing proceeds
automatically through a Backwash and Rinse cycle and then returns back to service
mode. Note that only one Multimedia Filter can be in the Washing mode at a time.
2) SINGLE PASS REVERSE OSMOSIS UNIT WITH ANTI-SCALANT
INJECTION
Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis is a membrane process, whereby; the natural phenomenon of
osmosis is reversed by the application of pressure to a concentrated solution in
contact with a semi-permeable membrane.
If the applied pressure is in excess of the solution's natural osmotic pressure, the
solvent will flow through the membrane to form a dilute solution on the opposite
side and a more concentrated solution on the side to which pressure is applied. If
the applied pressure is equal to the solution's natural osmotic pressure, no flow will
occur, and if the applied pressure is less than its natural osmotic pressure, there will
be flow from the dilute solution to the concentrated solution.
Osmotic pressure is proportional to the solution concentration and temperature, and
depends on the type of ionic species present. For solutions of predominantly
sodium chloride at ambient temperatures, a rule of thumb is that the osmotic
pressure is 10 psi per 1000 mg/l concentration.

REV. A, PJB
The rate of water transport across the membrane depends on the membrane
properties, the solution temperature, and the difference in applied pressure across
the membrane, less the difference in osmotic pressure between the concentrated and
dilute solutions. The rate of salt transport across the membrane is proportional to
the concentration difference across the membrane and is independent of the applied
pressure.
Two parameters that quantitatively describe RO performance are product water
recovery (PWR) and salt rejection (SR).
These are defined below:
PWR = Product water flow rate x 100
Feed water flow rate
SR = Salt concentration in feed - Salt concentration in product x 100
Salt concentration in feed
Cellulose acetate (CA) membranes were the first commercial membranes to be
developed. These membranes marketed today are actually blends of cellulose
acetate and cellulose triacetate. Cellulose acetate membranes are not as expensive
as polyamide membranes and are more tolerant to chlorine. Because of this, CA is
often preferred in wastewater applications where the SDI is high (> 5), and in
potable water purification where residual chlorine is required.
The most commonly used RO membrane is a thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide
membrane. Because of a very thin rejecting layer or skin, TFC membranes have a
higher flux and at a lower pressure than CA membranes. These membranes are also
not biodegradable, have a higher salt rejection than CA membranes; reject silica,
nitrates and organic compounds much better than other types of membranes. TFC
membranes are, however, susceptible to damage by chlorine.
The high rejection of TFC membranes is due to co-ion repulsion since the
polyamide membrane has a net negative charge at a pH > 5.0. Below pH=4.0, the
membrane has a net positive charge. Hence, at low pH values, e.g. due to the
presence of carbon dioxide (carbonic acid), the rejection decreases as is often the
-
case in second-pass RO. Carbon dioxide is converted to bicarbonate (HCO3 ) and
--
carbonate (CO3 ) ions by raising the pH to > 7.5. These ions are well rejected by
the polyamide RO membrane whereas CO2 is not.
A typical RO system consists of either spiral-wound (SW) or hollow-fiber (HF)
membrane elements housed in fiberglass-reinforced epoxy pressure vessels having
burst strength approximately four to six times normal operating pressures, and
containing the appropriate seals to prevent leakage. In the case of SW elements, the
recovery is 8 to 10% per element.
Four to seven elements (modules) are connected in series in a single pressure vessel
up to 20 ft. long to achieve a 50% recovery. The desired system capacity and
recovery are achieved by connecting pressure vessels in parallel, and by staging the
reject stream in an array of decreasing number of modules.

REV. A, PJB
The recovery in each element is controlled by the concentration of rejected species,

especially sparingly soluble salts of calcium and magnesium, and silica in the brine
stream. Thus, when the PWR is 50%, the salt concentration in the reject stream is
doubled whereas when the PWR is 75%, the salt concentration increases four-fold.
Feed water is introduced into the membrane module by a high pressure pump at
pressures in the range of 150 to 450 psig for brackish water, and from 800 to 1,000
psig for sea water. The desalted product (permeate) is removed from the opposite
side of the membrane at low pressure, and a flow-regulating valve on the brine side
is used to create backpressure and control system recovery.
The pressure drop on the brine side is minimal, which allows the high-pressure
brine (reject) to be fed to successive RO units (stages) to increase recovery
(productivity). The brine volume gets reduced in each stage, so that the number of
modules in successive stages is reduced (called "tapered" design) to maintain brine
flow velocities specified by membrane manufacturers. Minimum brine flow
velocity is essential in order to reduce the salt build-up (scaling) on the membrane
surface, i.e. concentration polarization.
RO System Operating Conditions
The RO system operating conditions are given in Section II. Use the RO
projections given in Section VI as a guide when selecting the operating conditions.
The RO unit consists of five pressure vessels arranged in a 5:2 staged-array. Each
pressure vessel contains elements in series. The RO unit design is based on the RO
performance projections provided within this manual.
RO system operating specifications are based on the following conditions:
Feed water temperature remains within the specified temperature range.
Feed water constituents remain within the 10% of the sample analysis.
All feed water pretreatment is maintained.
Product water flow rates are calculated at 50-psig backpressure.
NOTES:
Exceeding the maximum operating limits will damage the RO Pump and void the
warranty. It is recommended that the RO Pump be operated within the design operating
limits for maximum service life.
Product water backpressure exceeding the system pressure at any time will damage the
RO membranes.
Always operate the RO Unit at the lowest system pressure that produces the design flow
rate and percent rejection.
The initial minimum rejection percentage is salt-rejection based on chloride ions,
and applies to each membrane element. The overall RO rejection may be lower
depending on the array. In addition, changes in the polymer properties of the
membrane may cause salt passage to double during the life of the membrane (3
years).
REV. A, PJB
3) DUAL 30 FT3 SERVICE WATER SOFTENERS

Normal Service Operation
The normal mode of operation for the Dual 30 Ft3 Service Water Softeners is in
parallel with both units in service.
During normal service operation, the water passes through the manual inlet valves
of both units and flows downward through the resin in the columns then exits the
columns through manual outlet valves where it is diverted to the inlet of the
Electrodeionization Unit.
The normal Service run continues until the PLC starts the Washing mode of
operation based on preset time set point. The operator may also manually initiate
the Washing at any time. Once initiated, the Washing proceeds automatically
through a Backwash and Rinse cycle and then returns back to service mode. Note
that only one Multimedia Filter can be in the Washing mode at a time.
4) ELECTRODEIONIZATION SKID
EDI System Operation
When the EDI unit is in the normal Service mode of operation, the Softened
Service water flows to the EDI skid through manual valve H-E1 and H-E2.
The Softened Service water enters the EDI Unit and splits into two streams. One
portion is directed to the Feed section of the EDI as Dilute In and passes through
the Unit where the deionization process occurs.
The second portion of the Softened Service water is directed to the Concentrate
section of the EDI as Concentrate Inlet and passes through the EDI Unit where the
deionization process occurs.
The Concentrate Inlet water is injected with a 13% Brine solution.
This Brine Injection is employed to raise the Concentrate Conductivity.
The Product water exits the EDI Unit and passes through automatic valve V-E2.
As the water exits the EDI Unit, Resistivity Indicating Transmitter AIT-E1
monitors the Resistivity of the EDI Product water.
A. WASHING/CLEANING
1) MULTIMEDIA FILTERS UNIT A and UNIT B
Washing Operation
The normal Service run continues until the preset time setpoint is attained then the
Controller Stager starts the Washing mode of operation automatically or the
Operator manually initiates the Washing mode of operation.
(1) Backwash Phase
When the Backwash phase starts, the amber MULTIMEDIA FILTER A
WASHING status indicator light will illuminate.

REV. A, PJB
During the Backwash phase, water enters the Multimedia Filter Unit A through
automatic valve V-M2A (V-M2B for Multimedia Filter Unit B) and flows upward
through the media bed @ 290 GPM. This upward flow of water through the media
bed loosens any foreign matter that has collected on the media during the Service
run and washes it out of the filter column, to the waste drain, through automatic
valve V-M3A (V-M3B for Multimedia Filter Unit B).
This phase of regeneration will continue for 15 minutes and then the Controller
Stager will initiate the Rinse phase.
(2) Rinse Phase
When the Rinse phase starts the amber MULTIMEDIA FILTER A WASHING
status indicator light will still be illuminated.
During the Rinse phase, water enters the Multimedia Filter Unit A through
automatic valve V-M1A (V-M1B for Multimedia Filter Unit B) and flows
downward through the media bed @ 190 GPM. This downward flow of water
through the media bed rinses any foreign matter that was loosened during
Backwash and washes it out of the filter column, to the waste drain, through
automatic valve V-M4A (V-M4B for Multimedia Filter Unit B).
This phase of regeneration will continue for 9 minutes and then the Controller
Stager will place the Multimedia Filter Unit A or B back in the Service mode.

cleaning or sanitizing RO systems.
Recommended Cleaning Equipment - Additional equipment required for RO
system cleaning and sanitizing operations.
Cleaning Chemicals - Overview of recommended cleaning and sanitizing
chemicals and handling guidelines
Cleaning Procedures - Procedures for cleaning and sanitizing RO systems.
WARNING:
PRIOR TO EITHER CLEANING OR SANITIZATION THE RO
SYSTEM, THE PERSONNEL RESPONSIBLE FOR CONDUCTING
THESE PROCEDURES, MUST READ THE ENTIRE CLEANING
SECTION. THEY SHOULD HAVE A FULL COMPREHENSION OF
ITS CONTENTS. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.
RO MEMBRANE/SYSTEM CLEANING
Review the cleaning instructions recommended by the membrane manufacturer.
(3) Membrane Fouling

REV. A, PJB
Particulates, organic and biological compounds, and colloids easily foul the
RO membranes. The membranes are also prone to scaling by metal oxides
and hardness compounds.
Fouling of the membranes is often the result of:
Pre-treatment upset conditions.
Failure of chemical injection systems.
Inadequate flushing following shut down.
Improper operation control.
Slow build-up of salt precipitates over extended periods.
Changes in the feed water composition.
Biological contamination of feed water. Biological fouling is often slimy
gelatinous and irreversible.
Fouling affects the performance adversely, resulting in reduced flux (gallons/ft2/
day) [Note, flux is not the same as rate (gallons/min) and there is no such thing as
flux rate], and higher salt passage. Increased pressure drop between the feed and
concentrate side is usually an indicator of fouling.
Membrane Cleaning
Cleaning is accomplished very effectively because TFC polyamide membranes are
quite stable in the pH range of 3-11, and can withstand temperatures of up to 85 o F.
This project utilizes high temperature RO membranes, which can withstand
temperatures up to 180o F. If the time of cleaning is delayed for too long, however,
it can be difficult to remove the foulants completely from the membrane surface.
Cleaning is tailored to the specific fouling problem. Sometimes the wrong cleaning
chemicals can even worsen the situation. Therefore, the type of foulant should be
determined prior to cleaning.
The following methods can be used to determine the type of foulant:
Analyze the plant performance data. (See the section on Troubleshooting).
Analyze the feed water.
Check the results of previous cleanings.
Analyze the foulants on the 0.45 m membrane filter used for measuring
SDI.
Analyze the deposits on the cartridge filter.
Inspect the inner surface of the feed line tubing and the feed scroll of the
membrane element. If it is reddish-brown, fouling by iron materials may be
considered.
a. If bacteria or mold has infected the RO membranes, Sanitization must be
performed after cleaning as described below.

REV. A, PJB
b. Upsets in feed water characteristics can also affect productivity and quality of
membrane permeates. Changes in pre-treatment equipment performance
should be considered prior to establishing that the membranes have fouled.
Water Quality. Water utilized to dilute chemical cleaning solution should be of
RO permeate quality.

REV. A, PJB
(4) Cleaning Frequency

The RO membranes should be cleaned when:
The normalized permeate flow rate drops by 10%.
The salt content of the permeate increases by 10%.
The differential pressure (feed pressure - concentrate pressure)
increases by 15% from the reference conditions (the initial
performance established during the first 24 to 48 hours of operation).
For additional guidelines, see the Membrane Manufacturers guidelines.
(5) RO Daily Log Sheets
The information recorded on the Daily Log Sheets should be used as the
basis for determining an RO cleaning and disinfecting schedule. This
information should also be used to measure the effectiveness of cleaning
and disinfecting procedures. A sample of the Daily Log Sheet is located in
the Engineering Data section of this manual. Details regarding the use of
the Daily Log Sheet are located Process / Operation section of this manual.
Performance parameters recorded in the Data Log Sheet that is provided in
the RO section of this manual must be scrutinized frequently to determine
when cleaning is to be done. Note, only those sections of the form
applicable to your unit need to be utilized. For the single-pass unit provided
for this plant, use only the first-pass (primary RO) section.
It should be noted that the feed water temperature affects membrane
productivity. A rule of thumb is that permeate flow rate increases 3% per o
C.
Safety/Chemical Handling
WARNING:
PRIOR TO PREPARING ANY CLEANING CHEMICAL
COMPOUNDS, THE PERSONNEL SHOULD READ THIS SECTION
CAREFULLY. ALSO READ THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA
SHEETS PRIOR TO HANDLING A CHEMICAL.
Safety Equipment Requirements - When handling cleaning chemicals, the
following protective clothing should be worn: goggles which cover the eyes
completely and are equipped with impact resistant glass or plastic lenses, a face
shield, rubber gloves, apron and boots.
First Aid - Contact with eyes or skin requires immediate rinsing of contacted areas
with large quantities of water. See a physician immediately.
Contact With Eyes - Even minute quantities of cleaning chemicals (in either liquid
or solid, strong or dilute form) require immediate cleansing with copious quantities
of running water for a minimum period of 15 minutes. The eyelids should be held
apart during the cleansing to ensure that all tissues of the eyes and lids will receive

REV. A, PJB
thorough contact with the water. See a physician immediately. No oils or oily
ointments should be used unless prescribed by a physician.
Solution Preparation When making cleaning solutions, always add solid or
liquid chemicals in small portions to water to avoid reactive hazards. Mix the
solutions with slow agitation. If heat build-up occurs, or unusual reactions appear
to take place, stop the addition immediately. Always maintain an abundant supply
of water for emergency use and flushing away spilled chemicals.
Storage of Chemicals - Acid containers should be stored, preferably under cover,
on a floor of acid resistant brick or concrete treated with Sodium Silicate. Suitable
drainage facilities should be provided. If it is necessary to store acid outdoors,
containers should be protected from direct sunlight provided with suitable drainage
at the bottom tier, and stored in a properly drained site. Ample, natural ventilation
should also be provided. Spilled acid should be removed immediately by flushing
the contaminated area with large quantities of water. Soda Ash or Lime should be
available for immediate neutralizing of spilled acid on concrete or wood floors.
Again, allow ample ventilation when Soda Ash or Lime is used.
Safety Precautions Follow the guidelines given below:
(1) When using cleaning chemicals, follow accepted safety practices as well as
those recommendations set forth under the 'CHEMICAL HANDLING'
portion of this section.
(3) When preparing cleaning solutions, make sure that all cleaning chemical
compounds are dissolved and well mixed prior to circulating to the
membranes.
(4) After cleaning, the permeate must be diverted to the waste drain for a
minimum period of 10 minutes or until water purity is regained.
(5) Do not exceed operating temperatures specified within these procedures.
(6) Cleaning flow rates should not exceed the recommended cleaning flow rate
(See Specifications).
(7) Operating pressure during Cleaning must not exceed 60 psig.
(8) Cleaning solutions should only be circulated in the normal flow direction of
a membrane pressure vessel.
(9) Prior to operating the RO Cleaning Skid Pump, be sure to read the
instruction manual for that particular pump, located in the Manufacturer's
Data section of this manual. Do not run the pump dry since mechanical seal
failure may result. Prior to operating the pump, check for proper shaft
alignment and rotation. Lubricate per Manufacturer's instruction.
(10) Make sure that the materials that were used to build the cleaning skid and
the cleaning chemicals to be used are compatible. Never use aluminum
where it may contact the cleaning solution.
REV. A, PJB
CAUTION:
All the components used in the RO cleaning system must be
compatible with the cleaning chemicals to be utilized.
Cleaning System Requirements
Cleaning Skid
Cleaning Tank - The cleaning tank should be capable of holding a cleaning
fluid volume in excess of the volume required to fill the maximum number of
RO pressure vessels which will be cleaned at one time, and associated piping.
Cleaning Pump - The cleaning pump recirculates the cleaning fluid through
the membrane pressure vessel. The recommended cleaning flowrates are given
in the table below (based on the RO membrane diameter). If more than one
membrane vessel is to be cleaned at one time, multiply the flow by the
appropriate number of vessels to be cleaned in parallel.
Membranes may be cleaned in series, as long as each component of the series
contains the same number of vessels in parallel.
Membrane Diameter (in) Flow (gpm) Pressure (psig)
2-1/2" 3-5 60
4" 8-10 60
8" 30-40 60
RO Pre-filter - The cleaning filter is sized to handle the full cleaning flow.
The pore size rating is 5.0 m (nominal).
Heater/Temperature Controller (Optional) - Cleaning is more effective
when performed at an elevated temperature (85-90 o F).
Instrumentation - The cleaning system instrumentation typically includes
pressure, temperature and flow rate measurement for monitoring and control.
Water Quality Water utilized to dilute chemical cleaning should be of RO
permeate quality.
Cleaning Chemicals
A relatively wide variety of chemicals are available to clean and sanitize RO
membranes. In general, the compounds available are formulated to address
specific membrane foulants. Use the chemicals recommended by the
membrane manufacturer. Follow the recommended procedures for cleaning
thin-film composite (TFC) membranes.

REV. A, PJB
Harsh and frequent cleaning will shorten membrane life resulting in increased
salt passage. Acid cleaners and alkaline cleaners are the standard cleaning
chemicals. The acid cleaners are used to remove inorganic compounds such as
iron and hardness salts, while the alkaline cleaners are used to remove organic
compounds including biological matter.
CAUTION:
Sulfuric acid should not be used during cleaning because of the risk of
calcium sulfate precipitation.
Preferably, RO permeate water should be used in the preparation of the
cleaning solution although pre-filtered raw water will also work in most cases.
The raw water is usually highly buffered; hence, more acid or hydroxide may
be needed to reach the desired pH. The pH for acid cleaning must be > 2.0 and
the pH level for alkaline cleaning must be < 12.0.
During cleaning, the pH range and maximum temperatures given in the table
below must not be exceeded.
Max Temp Max Temp Max Temp
50 C 35 C 30 C Continuous
pH Range pH Range pH Range Operation
2 - 10 1 - 11 1 - 12 2 - 11
Some cleaning chemicals may worsen the performance of the membrane after
cleaning (e.g. by fouling and subsequent flux loss). The cleaning chemical
must be compatible with the RO membrane to be cleaned.
CAUTION:
Follow the membrane manufacturer's instructions and observe the
temperature and pH limits of the membrane being cleaned.
Inorganic Foulants For inorganic salts or metal oxide foulants, an acid based
cleaner is recommended. This compound contains organic acids, detergent builders
and chelating agents, specifically designed to remove metal hydroxides, calcium
carbonate and other similar scales.
The chemical is supplied in a dry powder form (40 lb. container), and should be
mixed with RO permeate grade water: 2 lb. chemical/10 gal. water. This dosage
makes a cleaning solution with a weight concentration of 3 % and a pH of ~ 3.0.
Organic Foulants - When foulants are suspected to be organic in nature, an
alkaline-based cleaner is recommended. This compound contains detergent
builders, chelating agents and a pH buffer, specifically designed to remove
organics, silt and other particulate deposits.
The chemical is supplied in a dry powder form (40 lb. container), and should be
mixed with RO permeate grade water: 2 lb. chemical/ 10 gal. water. This dosage
makes a cleaning solution with a weight concentration of 3 % and a pH of ~10.0.

REV. A, PJB
NOTE:
If both inorganic and organic cleaners are to be used, the inorganic cleaner should be
utilized first, followed by a thorough rinsing of the membranes prior to cleaning with
the organic cleaner.
Biofoulants - If bacteria or mold has infected the RO membranes, a disinfecting
chemical must be used after the cleaning chemicals. Refer to the section RO
Sanitizing below.
Cleaning Operations
(1) Installation
Receiving - Equipment handlers should not lift or pull the cleaning skid by its
piping assembly. The piping assembly will be seriously damaged if subjected to
temperatures above 120 F.
Inspection - Upon receiving the cleaning system skid, a thorough inspection
should be made for damage that may have occurred during transit. All damages
should be reported to the carrier immediately.
Location - For cleaning systems, which are to be permanently connected to
electrical, and water supplies, a location should be chosen adjacent to the RO
unit (without impinging upon maintenance space requirements for the RO) so
that the cleaning hoses can reach their appropriate cleaning connections on the
RO unit.
Electrical Requirements - See the Specifications and Manufacturer's Data
sections of this manual for pump and heater (if supplied) characteristics.
Provide local "plug-in" type power source with a disconnect switch for mobile
cleaning skids if one is not provided on the RO control panel.
Plumbing Connections - Connect a line from a deionized or reverse osmosis
permeate water supply source for filling the cleaning tank.
Connect a pipe from the tank drain outlet to an open type waste drain. This pipe
and drain must be capable of handling the disposed cleaning chemical.

REV. A, PJB
OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Prior to beginning the cleaning operation, a number of considerations must be made
regarding your facilities operating practices. The cleaning process described in this
section will produce wastewater, which may be high or low in pH.
See the section Safety Precautions discussed above.
If the floor drains in the area of the Reverse Osmosis unit cannot handle non-
neutralized or hazardous wastewater, special flushing will be required each time
cleaning hoses must be moved to clean a new stage, to avoid chemical spillage.
This can be accomplished by flushing the cleaned stage with RO feed water.
pH Adjustment - If pH adjustment is required prior to draining the cleaning solution,
mix the solution before draining. Use the cleaning skid pump to circulate the cleaning
solution tank contents for mixing, and adjust the pH accordingly.
Cleaning Procedure

f) Close all other manual isolation valves.
g) When preparing the cleaning solution make sure that all of the valves on the
cleaning skid are closed.
4) Cleaning Connections
The cleaning procedures detailed below are identical for each RO stage to be
cleaned. The cleaning connection locations on the RO unit, however, will change
depending on which stage is being cleaned. The first stage is comprised of RO
Vessels PV-R1 thru PV-R5. The second stage is comprised of RO Vessels PV-R6
and PV-R7.
The following table will indicate the cleaning connections to be used for the
cleaning of each stage. The connections at the cleaning skid end do not change. It
is important to note that the use for the cleaning connection may change. For
example, the Reject cleaning connection CIP-R2 is the Feed connection during the
cleaning of the second stage and the Reject Return connection during the cleaning
of the first stage.

REV. A, PJB
j) Drain the cleaning tank and prepare new cleaning solutions prior to cleaning
subsequent stages or passes.
k) When the last pressure vessel is cleaned, refer to the "Post Cleaning Procedure".
Post Cleaning Procedure
When starting up the RO System after cleaning, the product water must be flushed
to drain for a minimum of 10 minutes to ensure that all of the cleaning solution has
been purged from the system.
Refer to the Start-up procedures described in Section III. Adjust the Reject to Drain
and Product Water flow rates as necessary after restarting the RO System.
CAUTION:
If a second cleaning procedure with another chemical solution, or
Sanitization is to be performed after the first cleaning procedure,
ensure that there is no residual solution from the first cleaning
solution in the RO system. Otherwise, a chemical reaction between the
two solutions is likely, which may damage the membranes and/or
associated parts.
B. MAINTENANCE / TROUBLESHOOTING
(1) General Guidelines
Maintenance is essentially a matter of good housekeeping. The following list
should serve as a guide for maintenance:
a) Cartridge filters should be checked and serviced regularly.
b) RO membranes are to be cleaned based on the data recorded. Refer to the RO
unit instructions.
c) Service all pumps as recommended by the manufacturer. Refer to the
Manufacturer's Data section.
d) Routinely check the calibration of the instrumentation.
e) Valve diaphragms should be checked for defects at least once a year and replaced
as necessary.
f) Keep the equipment clean. Exposed metal surfaces, except for stainless steel,
should be given a protective coating of paint.
g) The customer must determine the Sanitization schedule and then follow that
schedule to prohibit organic growth.
h) Multimedia Filter Media Replacement
Initial Preparation

b) A hose with an adapter that can be connected to the vessel drain plug in the main
piping assembly located at the bottom of the filter column.
c) Containers for taking away used media.
Drain the Vessels:
a) Turn OFF power to the solenoid panel, and close the manual influent and effluent
isolation valves.
b) Open the manual vent valves, H-M1A and H-M1B to relieve pressure then close
them.
c) Remove the vessel drain plugs located in the piping assembly at the bottom of the
filter vessels. Refer to the Assembly Drawing 50040-01 for components and
locations.
d) After removing the column drain plug, attach the hose with an adapter to it and
run the hose to an open type waste drain. Open the vent valve, H-M1A and H-
M1B.
e) Once the filter vessels are completely empty, replace the vessel drain plugs.
f) Remove the Media
g) Remove the manway covers at the top of the filter vessels.

C. MEMBRANE ELEMENT REPLACEMENT

Required down time: 2 - 6 hours
You will need the following:
Safety equipment (glasses, boots, etc.)
Lock-Out / Tag-Out equipment
Rubber mallet
24 liquid ounces of glycerin
Set of new membrane elements
a) Secure the unit for a short-term shutdown as described in Section 4.3
b) Remove the product pipe connection from the end of the pressure vessel by un-
screwing the fittings in the product lines. Some water will inevitably drain from
the broken plumbing connections so be prepared for a wet floor.
NOTE:
The flow arrowhead sticker located on one end of the pressure vessel indicates the
direction of flow through the pressure vessel. You should unload and reload the new
RO membrane elements in the direction of flow. This greatly reduces the chance of
rolling or damaging the brine seals.

REV. A, PJB
c) To determine the correct procedure for pressure vessel end cap disassembly,
consult the pressure vessel manufacturer literature in the Appendix.
d) Remove the retaining rings that hold the end caps.
e) Carefully remove the end caps by applying even steady pulling force on them.
NOTE:
Be sure to make note of which end cap came out of which end of the pressure vessel so
they may be reinstalled in the same vessels.
f) Push the old membrane elements out of the pressure vessel in the direction of the
flow arrowhead sticker on the outside of the vessel.
g) Remove the membrane product tube adapters from the old membrane elements if
they did not remain on the vessel end caps and keep them. Dispose of the old
membrane elements.
h) Check the o-rings on the inter-connectors for damage and replace any that show
signs of wear or damage. (It is a good idea to replace all the o-rings at the same
time you replace the RO membrane elements). Apply a liberal coating of glycerin
to the o-rings and brine seals before they are inserted back into the pressure
vessel.
i) Remove enough new RO membrane elements from the protective packaging to
fill one pressure vessel.
j) Install the inter-connectors between the RO membrane elements as you load them
into the vessel.
k) Load the new membrane elements in the pressure vessel in the same direction as
the flow arrowhead sticker. Make sure that the membrane brine seal is on the end
to enter the pressure vessel last.
NOTE:
The flow arrow on the new RO membrane element should match the flow arrowhead
sticker on the pressure vessel.
l) Carefully reinstall the product tube adapters on the ends of the membrane element
product tubes. Apply a liberal amount of glycerin on the o-rings to make
installation easier.
m) Carefully reinstall the end caps back in the ends of the pressure vessel, taking
care to put them in the same ends that they came out of. Use a small amount of
glycerin on the o-rings to make installation easier.
n) Carefully tap the end caps into place, using the rubber mallet. Re-assemble the
end cap assembly per manufacture instructions.
o) Carefully reinstall the retaining rings in both ends of the pressure vessel.

H. E-CELL MK-2 STACK CLEANING AND SANITIZING

Overview
Over time cleaning and/or sanitization of the E-Cell MK-2 Stack may be necessary, due
to:
Hardness scaling, mainly in the concentrate and cathode chambers
Fouling of the ion exchange medium or membranes with inorganic material
Fouling of the ion exchange medium or membranes with organic material
Biological fouling of the E-Cell MK-2 Stack and system piping and components
Combinations of the above
Scaling in the concentrate and cathode chambers is a result of feed water minerals
exceeding design limits or recovery exceeding design limits. Since the scaling effect is
additive over time this can be the result even of cumulative, small, short duration
excursions. Silica scaling can be very difficult to remove but hardness scaling can
usually be dissolved with an acid cleaning. Circulating a low pH solution in the C-loop
as discussed in Procedure 1 below is the recommended procedure for removing scaling in
the concentrate and cathode chambers.
Inorganic fouling of the ion exchange material in the dilute chambers occurs when iron or
manganese levels in the feed water exceed design limits or when very high TDS water is
accidentally fed to the E-Cell MK-2 Stack. Since scaling in the concentrate chambers
can also occur in these conditions it is advisable to clean all chambers of the MK-2 Stack.
Procedure 2 provides an acid cleaning of the dilute chambers and the concentrate and
cathode chambers.
Organic fouling of the ion exchange material in the dilute chambers occurs when organic
material in the feed water exceeds the design limits. Circulating a high pH brine solution
through the dilute chambers squeezes organic molecules out of the ion exchange material.
Circulating the same solution through the concentrate loop assists with the removal of
any organic material that might have accumulated in the concentrate chambers.
Procedure 3 accomplishes this. If there is a chance that inorganic fouling or scaling may
also be present an acid recirculation step is performed first as indicated in Procedure 4.
Biological fouling of the E-Cell MK-2 Stacks and system components occurs when
conditions for biological growth are conducive and any bacteria or algae are present.
Regular sanitization before fouling becomes extensive is preferred to trying to clean and

REV. A, PJB
sanitize a badly fouled MK-2 Stack. The high pH brine solution used in Procedures 3
and 4 are useful for routine, scheduled sanitization where the fouling has not had an
opportunity to become heavy.
For installations where the biological fouling is heavy one of the stronger sanitizing
agents discussed in Procedure 5 can be applied. Again, where inorganic fouling or
scaling is suspected in addition to the biological fouling an acid recirculation step can be
introduced as indicated in Procedure 6.
For severe biological fouling one of the steps in Procedures 5 or 6 can be performed at a
high pH to further increase the effectiveness of the sanitization. These are discussed in
Procedures 7 and 8.
For procedures 5 through 8 there is a choice of two different sanitizing agents.
The chart below summarizes the scaling and fouling conditions and the
cleaning/sanitizing procedures best suited to correct the condition.

WARNING
READ CLEANING PROCEDURES COMPLETELY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY CLEANING.
NOTES:
The cleaning procedures are written for a 120 GPM (27.3 m3/h) E-Cell System. For
larger or smaller systems scale up or down proportionally. For example on a 360 GPM
(81.8 m3/h) E-Cell System, maintain chemical concentrations and multiply all water
and chemical amounts by three.
Acid cleaning of the concentrate chambers (Procedure 1) takes the least amount of time
since there are only two main steps and the ion exchange material in the dilute
chambers is not exhausted as it is in all other procedures.
E-Cell System cleaning requires up to 8 hours per cleaning procedure.
After cleaning, the E-Cell MK-2 Stacks must be regenerated (except Procedure 1).
Regeneration requires up to 16 hours.
A Long Term Shutdown procedure must be followed if the E-Cell System is to be down
for more than three days. This procedure is located in section 5.3.
1) Safety
a) Avoid contact with Halane (1,3-Dichloro-5,5-dimethyl hydantoin), sodium
hydroxide, peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide and hydrochloric acid, as these are
corrosive. Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizer.
b) Depressurize all process lines to avoid high-pressure chemical spray.
c) The E-Cell System operates at high voltage. Before performing any
maintenance, ensure rectifier power is off and the rectifier properly tagged and/or
locked out.

HYDROXIDE CLEANING/SANITIZING
Sodium chloride 5% / sodium hydroxide 1% is useful for cleaning fouling due to organics
and for sanitization. Where inorganic scale is also present it is removed first with an acid
recirculation step.
System are required. Five hoses are required for the acid cleaning. Three hoses are
required for the sodium chloride/sodium hydroxide cleaning.
This procedure provides an acid cleaning followed by a high pH cleaning/sanitizing of all
chambers of the MK-2 Stacks.
The steps involved are:
Makeup and recirculation of an acid cleaning solution through all chambers of the
MK-2 Stacks.
Makeup and recirculation of a brine/caustic cleaning solution through all chambers of
the MK-2 Stacks.

M. CLEANING PROCEDURE 5: HALANE OR PERACETIC ACID

SANITIZING
Halane, a widely used source of chlorine, is useful for cleaning and sanitizing high-purity
water treatment equipment. This is an oxidizing cleaning solution, which is effective
primarily as a biocide against biofouling and secondarily a cleaner against organic
fouling. Due to its oxidizing power, this cleaning solution should be used infrequently
and the following directions for its use followed closely.
Peracetic acid 0.04% / hydrogen peroxide 0.2% performs similarly using a different
chemical species. It should also be used only when necessary.
This procedure provides a sanitizing of all chambers of the MK-2 Stacks. The steps
involved are:
Makeup and recirculation of a brine solution through all chambers of the MK-2
Stacks.
Rinse of the MK-2 Stack to remove excess brine
Makeup and recirculation of a Halane sanitizing solution through all chambers of the
MK-2 Stacks OR
