Description
Introduction:
Process industry professionals now recognize the value that a reverse osmosis unit adds to a water system, in terms of both product quality and reduction in the recurring costs associated with membrane systems. It is surprising how poorly many reverse osmosis systems are designed and operated. Any potential operational cost savings are thrown away by excessive cleaning and replacement.
Reverse Osmosis Monitoring and Troubleshooting training course will give you an excellent knowledge of operation principles, layout requirements, Design, performance calculation, associated components and maintenance practices for reverse osmosis (RO) plants.
Topics:
Day-1: Reverse Osmosis Operation and Maintenance (ROOM)
· Reverse Osmosis Overview.
· Water Contamination Overview.
· Osmosis & Reverse Osmosis include: Osmatic pressure, Applied pressure, NDP, water flux and salt flux.
· Membranes include: seawater brackish water membrane, Hollow fiber membrane and spiral wound membrane.
· Membrane Elements include: Envelopes, feed- Permeate water spacer and flow path.
· Application build simulated element.
· Reverse Osmosis unit operation include: POU, Single – Double pass, Recovery rate, Water flux and NDP.
· Pre-treatment process.
· Energy Recovery Device.
· Chemical Cleaning.
· Reverse Osmosis unit Maintenance.
Day-2: Reverse Osmosis Monitoring and Troubleshooting (ROMT)
· Introduction on site-stream needed to proper monitoring such as ORP, SDI and conductivity.
· Hand-held/bench instruments needed to proper monitoring such as ORP, SDI, silica, Ph and conductivity.
· Daily Monitoring such as Free & Total chlorine, Normalized Permeate Flow (NPF), Normalized Salt Passage (NSP) and Normalized Pressure Drop (NPD).
· How to use Monitoring Software for weekly trending include Start up data, Daily data and Performance trends.
· Workshop1: Monitoring & Performance (Profiling of RO data program)
· Workshop 2: Evaluating Profiling & Probing data.
· Workshop 3: Evaluating Performance.
Day-3: Optimal Design of RO System
· RO Membrane Parameter calculation.
· Feed Water Analysis.
· How to Read a complete water analysis report.
· Using software programs to evaluate feed waters.
· Workshop: Determine if a feed water analysis is complete and can relied on.
· Analysis that must be performed on-site.
· Evaluating Scaling Potential.
· Evaluating Non-Living fouling potential.
· Evaluating Living fouling potential
· Good Design means low fouling.
· Lower fouling RO/NF unit design.
· Workshops for RO design.
· Summary & Conclusion.
· Final Evaluation.
Day-4: Site Visit to the SWRO one of the highest producers globally of desalinated water
· SWRO Intake system.
· RO DAF System.
· RO DMF System.
· RO Micro-Cartridge Filter.
· RO Membrane Area.
· RO Post Treatment System.
