5.
Feed Pump supplies a positive pressure through the Pre-filtration components and into the R.O. Boost. The
Feed Pump flow and pressure causes the R.O. Boost to function.
6.
Plankton Filter *** contains a cleanable ultra-fine Monel mesh screen. The mesh screen removes suspended
solids or biological growth, such as plankton. It also provides longer life to the Pre-filter elements and, in turn,
lowers System maintenance costs. The Plankton Filter is available as a single housing or dual housing. For
additional information on obtaining this optional accessory, please contact Sea Recovery Corporation.
7.
Check Valve Tee Assembly connects to the Feed Water Line, FWF Feed Water Line, and the Pre-Filter Housing.
8.
Low Pressure Transducer is located on the RO Boost Inlet Gauge 0-300 PSI on the Front Panel. It will
automatically shut the system off when sufficient pressure of 4 PSI is not provided to the Feed Inlet. It
will also automatically shut the system off when pressure exceeds 215 PSI.
9.
Pre-Filter 5 mµ removes suspended solids 5 Microns and larger to prolong the life of the membrane element.
10. AIR/OIL Separator will bleed air and oil before it enters the R.O. Boost. It helps performance of the R.O. Boost
and prolongs the life of and protects the Reverse Osmosis Membrane from fouling.
Caution:
Do not use “string
-
wound” or “fiber” pre
-filter elements. String-wound and fiber-filter elements
are designed for the Photographic Film Developing Industry. When used in sea water, they will plug much
more rapidly (performance has shown within 1/10th of the time) than a Sea Recovery-supplied, Pre-filter
cartridge element. This will cause frequent System shut downs and element replacement.
Danger: Do not use third-party pre-filtration components! Use only Sea Recovery Corporation pre-filtration
components. Third-party pre-filtration components do not fit properly, thus causing the seams to fall apart.
They also allow bypass, which results in extensive damage to the High Pressure Pump, as well as to
premature fouling of the RO Membrane Element.
Pressurization Components
The Pressurization section of your System supplies the proper pressure across the Membrane Element to produce
the required product water within a safe operating condition. Proper pressure and proper flow across the Membrane
Element are two basic requirements of Reverse Osmosis.
1.
Energy Transfer Device (R.O. BOOST
) “enhances” (increases) pressure from the
Feed Pump by
approximately a 4:1 or 5:1 ratio.
2.
Pressurized water from the feed water enters the RO Boost from the R.O. BOOST port "LP IN". Pressurized
water returns from the RO Membrane Element. This pressurized water entering the Return Chamber of the
R.O. BOOST port
“R” assists the
R.O. BOOST as recovered energy. This allows the R.O. BOOST to deliver
the required flow and pressure to the RO Membrane Element with minimal power consumption.
3.
The Low Pressure Gauge 0-300 PSI is a stainless steel glycerin filled pressure gauge that is used to monitor
the high pressure of the Feed Water developed by the R.O. BOOST.
4.
High Pressure Hose, R.O. BOOST Outlet port "HP OUT"/MVA inlet transfers pressurized Feed Water from the
R.O. BOOST to the inlet of the RO Membrane Element.
5.
High Pressure Transducer is located on the R.O. BOOST above the "HP OUT." It will automatically shut the
system off when the pressure exceeds 925 PSI.
6.
RO Membrane Element and Pressure Vessel allows potable water molecules to pass through while rejecting
the salt ions. Only 13% of the Feed Water becomes Product Water. The remainder (concentrated brine) transfers
energy back into the R.O. BOOST, and then becomes Brine Discharge, which carries the rejected salt ions out of
the Membrane Element.
7.
High Pressure Hose, MVA Outlet / R.O. BOOST
Return port “HP IN” transfers pressurized Brine
Water from the
Membrane Vessel Assembly back to the R.O. BOOST.
Brine Discharge Components
The Brine Discharge section of your System transfers brine exiting the R.O. BOOST back to the Feed Water source.
