1. INTRODUCTION
The reverse osmosis system of Aquaphor (hereinafter RO system) manufactured by
“Westaqua-Invest OÜ“(Estonia). The RO system is designed to reduce the total salt
content by reverse osmosis (desalination, demineralization, reduction of
conductivity) water from municipal and local water supply systems (brackish water)
under the correspondence of the requirements established by the demands.
The RO system is the most efficient and safe installation of desalination.
Note: The RO system is not designed to solve all problems related to water
treatment. For proper operation it requires pretreatment.
Materials of RO systems are safety, non-toxic and do not release to the water any
dangerous substances to health or the environment.
2. ASSIGNMENT
2.1 RO system is designed for the demineralization of water, i.e. removing
dissolved salts, including hardness salts, heavy metals, Flouride, nitrate, ammonium,
organic matter, bacteria, and viruses.
2.2 RO system version L is set to perform where electric power networks,water
supply mains correspond to the presentrequirements.
2.3 The RO system is designed and manufactured to work in a continuous mode
during the whole period of operation, provided that the requirements set out in this
operating manual are continuous. Hold intervals are caused by routine maintenance,
implementation of chemical washes, etc.
2.4 For optimized RO system selection and type of membranes the customer must
provide a water sample foranalysis.

5.2 Hardness: If water hardness exceeds 20 ppm, it is necessary to established
water softener or antiscalant dosingsystem.
5.3 Fe: If the concentration of iron ions in the raw water is more than 0,1 mg/l ,
Iron removal system must be installed.

system
6.1.1 Drawing of process
Protective filter:
The filter Gross with a module B520-12 (CB) is installed at the entrance of the
installation to protect the RO membrane from influence of active chlorine. It is made
of sintered powdered activated carbon in a polymeric matrix (technology Carbon
Block).
The filter gross 20” with module PP5 micron is installed after the CB filter to prevent
particles larger than 5 microns to enter the RO system. Filter element is made of
polypropylene. It is necessary to replace regularly the filter modules in order to keep
the water feed rate, and also to avoid ingress of chlorine, solid particles in the
membrane modules
Replacement instructions: Shut off the system from electricity, make sure there is no
pressure (relief the pressure if needed), put a container under the system, with special
key open the housing of Gross. Remove the old module, pour the water. If necessary,
wipe the housing and the top cover. Install the new module. Set back the housing
vertically, tighten the nut of the housing by hand and gently close it with a key.
After replacement, inspect the modules by opening slightly the CIP valve , switch on
the system and close after a few seconds.
6.1.2 High-pressure pump
RO system can be equipped with pumps of different manufacturers and brands.
6.1.2.1 Instruction of operation
Install a pressure regulator to ensure the recommended pressure at the inlet of the RO
system, switch the pump to automatic mode. Automatic operation of the pump is
provided by water level sensors in the water feed tank, clean water tank, and the input

pressure switch.
6.1.2.2 Before starting the pump, unscrew the venting plug located on thetop
of the pump to release the air.
6.1.2.3 If the pump is used after a long period of shut down , firstly check
the free rotation of the fan motor, to ensure the it is not jammed due tocorrosion.
6.1.3 Installation of reverse osmosis.
Before installing the membrane, the piping must be flushed to eliminate the dust
formed during the installation, or other debris in the system with the high-pressure
reverse osmosis pump. Warning: direction of fitting the membrane strictly defined
and indicated by the arrows.
6.1.4 The principle of water purification reverse osmosissystem.
The system is set to use reverse osmosis membrane. With proper maintenance of the
RO system, the lifetime of the membrane is 3-5 years and over. RO system is based
on the method of membrane separation that allows to remove salt ions, organic
compounds, bacteria and other impurities from the water with the aim of purification
or desalting. It is based on the principle of separation of permeate (clean water) and
concentrate (dirty water) through the membrane. Water tends to get to a solution –a
process called osmosis. Between water and solution is the osmotic pressure. If the
solution is provided with more pressure than the osmotic pressure then permeate
(water) to be filtered through the membrane will not desalt the solution properly.
Thus, it takes desalting by reverse osmosis. With sufficient pressure, the raw water
passes through the RO membrane, and permeate as purified water. The concentration
of solutes and suspended particulates gradually increases and discharge to the drain.
This is the principle of operation of water purification by reverse osmosis system.
6.2 Technological drawing of the reverse osmosis system
Raw water passes through the protective filters, which allow to remove chlorine and
most of the suspended particles, and enters to the high-pressure pump, which builds
pressure up to 100-250 PSI (pressure required depends of the type of membrane).
Then, water is fed to the RO membranes under pressure. The RO membranes are
installed in the housings and produce separating permeate (product, i.e. purified water)
and concentrate (drainage).
