General Operation Short-term Shutdown Procedure Short-term shutdown is defined as a period of up to four (4) weeks, in which the System is not being used. To effectively protect the System and RO Membrane Element(s) during the short-term shutdown, you must perform a Fresh Water Rinse (i.e., a rinse with fresh Product Water from the System).
Long-term (or prolonged) shutdown occurs when the System remains unused for over four (4) weeks. Before a long-term shutdown, the System must first be rinsed with Fresh Product Water, and then with Sea Recovery Corporation's System and Membrane Element Storage Chemical (SRC SC). SRC SC inhibits bacterial growth, while maintaining the RO Membrane Element's high flux and salt rejection properties.
To properly assess the RO Membrane Element's performance changes, Sea Recovery Corporation strongly recommends that you maintain a daily log of readings for comparison. When making performance comparisons, you must consider, and compensate for, the following variables: •...
If your RO Membrane Element is excessively fouled and in-field cleaning is not successful, you may return it to Sea Recovery Corporation or to an authorized Service Dealer for professional chemical cleaning. If your RO Membrane Element requires professional cleaning, please contact Sea Recovery Corporation for a Return Authorization Number, price quote and return instructions.

7. Once again, fill the container with 10 gallons (37.8 liters) of clean, potable water. 8. Add 1.5 lbs. (0.68 kg) of Sea Recovery Membrane Cleaning Compound MCC 1, MCC 2 or MCC 3 to the water container and thoroughly mix the solution until the cleaning compound has dissolved.
• SERIAL NUMBER: Helps Sea Recovery Corporation to determine the latest physical version and configuration of your System, ensuring that you are provided with correct part information. • TYPE: Tells Sea Recovery Corporation the production capacity of your System, which provides a bench mark in diagnosing product water flow and pressure concerns.
• Hypochlorite iodine • Bromide petroleum products Important: The use of non-authorized and/or the misuse of authorized chemicals will void your Sea Recovery Corporation warranty! For example, DO NOT connect the Aqua Matic RO Desalination System's inlet to your ship s potable water system if it contains chlorinated or brominated water. These chemicals destroy the copolymer components and the oxidants will damage the RO Membrane Element.
• The use of third-party, non-Sea Recovery components, spares and assemblies will damage the Sea Recovery System and/or specific components within the System. • The use of third-party, non-Sea Recovery components, spares and assemblies will void any and all warranty of the System and/or void the affected component within the System.
Feed Water. Caution: If the Sea Recovery System is connected to a Sea Chest or Stand Up Pipe, do not plumb the Sea Recovery System feed line to the top of these feed water arrangements. If plumbed to the bottom, the System will intake air and experience continual shut down.
Page 101
Maintenance and Repair Attention: The Booster Pump must rotate in the counter-clockwise direction. Rotating the Booster Pump in the clockwise direction will cause extensive damage. Attention: When switching from 3-Phase Generator power to 3-Phase Shore power, always check phases prior to operating the System. Otherwise, reverse rotation (and extensive damage) may occur when the power is out-of-phase.
Some Electric Motors supplied by Sea Recovery have permanently sealed and lubricated bearings. Others require lubrication from time to time. If your Electric Motor has grease jerks at each end of the motor (over the front and rear bearings), the bearings require lubrication every six months. Give three pumps of high temperature motor bearing lubricant into each grease jerk.
USE ONLY SEA RECOVERY SUPPLIED PRE-FILTER ELEMENTS. The System's resulting failure, and/or damage to the System caused by third-party pre-filter elements, is attributed to improper maintenance and operation, is the liability of the operator and owner, and is not covered by the Sea Recovery Corporation warranty.
5. Wipe the O-Ring with a damp cloth. 6. Sparingly lubricate the O-Ring with O-Ring lubricant. 7. Insert the new Sea Recovery Corporation Oil/Water Separator Filter Element into the bowl. 8. Place the lid on top of the housing. 9. Replace the lid-locking ring. Tighten into place with hands. Do not use a wrench or other tool to tighten. Do not over tighten, as over tightening causes stress to the bowl and lid-lock ring threads, leading to cracks, breakage, and difficult disassembly at the next filter change.
• This pump is manufactured to very tight tolerance spacing between moving parts. Any debris entering the pump will cause extensive and expensive damage to the internal parts. The Sea Recovery Pre-filter will stop any debris and protect the High Pressure Pump. Use caution when changing filter elements and do not allow any debris from the pre-filter element to enter the outlet port of its housing.
Page 106
17. Run a rag through the High Pressure Vessel to remove biological film or debris from the inside of the vessel. 18. A new Sea Recovery Corporation RO Membrane Element includes a “U” cup Brine Seal (#8) at one end of the element.
Maintenance and Repair High Pressure Manifold Replace the High Pressure Manifold if it is visibly cracked, broken and leaking. Replace the High Pressure fitting O-Rings if damaged, worn, or leaking. High Pressure Transducer Pressure Transducers are irreparable and cannot be calibrated. If inoperative, check connections at the transducer and at the Printed Circuit Board to ensure that there is no visible corrosion or loose connections.
Caution: Do not over tighten the packing gland. Over tightening will cause premature wear and failure of the packing and stem. Important: Over tightening can cause excessive drag, increasing the torque requirement of the valve s electric motor. Excessive drag resulting in an increased torque requirement will cause the valve motor to draw high current.
Maintenance and Repair 3-way Product Water Diversion Solenoid Valve Note: Do not assume that the valve s solenoid is non-operational. Check it by performing a function test as described in the topic Manual System Check on page 45. Caution: Over tightening the tube fittings can cause the diversion valve's internal ports to move out of the proper position, thereby causing internal blockage or bypass.
Otherwise, the Charcoal Filter element must be replaced every three to four months (it cannot be cleaned). Caution: Do not use third-party charcoal or carbon filter elements! Use only Sea Recovery Corporation Filter Elements. Many third-party Filter Elements fit improperly; the seams fall apart; and they allow bypass. They are also designed for low flow rates, causing extensive damage (due to pressure build-up on the product water line) if used in the System.
2. Remove the Carbon Filter Element from the bowl. 3. Remove the O-Ring from the top of the bowl. 4. Replace the Carbon Filter Element with a new Sea Recovery Corporation element. 5. Wipe the O-Ring with a damp cloth.
9. Screw the bowl on clockwise. 10. Hand turn to seal the O-Ring. Do not use a wrench or other tool to tighten, and do not over tighten. Over tightening causes stress to the lid and bowl threads, which can result in damage, breakage, or cracks, as well as difficulty removing it in the future.
