2. General description
Page
The Grundfos BMPX booster system is designed for desalination
of sea water in reverse osmosis systems, so-called SWRO
4
systems (SWRO = Sea Water Reverse Osmosis). The design of
4
the system offers high energy recovery.
4
The BMPX booster system consists of:
4
•
BMP hp feed pump (hp = high-pressure)
5
•
BM hp circulation pump (hp = high-pressure)
with Variable-Frequency Drive (VFD)
5
(the pump is installed in a sleeve)
5
•
X-Changer.
5
The Grundfos BMP hp feed pump is a piston pump, i.e. the flow is
5
proportional to the motor speed. The pressure is equal to the
6
back-pressure. Consequently, it is important that the maximum
6
pump pressure is not exceeded.
6
The BMPX units are supplied from factory in boxes in which they
6
must remain until they are to be installed. The units are ready for
6
installation.

3. Commissioning
9
Commissioning of the BMPX booster system must be carried out
9
by competent and certified Grundfos employees to ensure long
9
and trouble-free operation.
9
9
If this requirement is not met, the BMPX warranty
Note
9
will be invalidated.
9
The commissioning includes training on site of the people
10
maintaining and monitoring the system.

4. Pumped liquids
10
Thin, non-explosive liquids, not containing solid particles or
10
fibres. The liquid must not chemically attack the materials of the
10
BMPX units. In case of doubt, contact Grundfos.
10
Warning
11
The BMPX booster system is designed solely for
11
brackish water and sea water and must not be
12
used for other liquids.
12
13
The raw water to the BMP hp feed pump and X-Changer must be
14
filtered to maximum 5 microns abs (abs. β
15
The BMPX system must never operate with water/liquid
15
containing substances removing surface tension, e.g. soap. If this
type of detergent is used for cleaning the system, the water/liquid
must be led around the units via a bypass.
Pump type
Recommended pumped liquids
• Raw water
• potable water
BMP
• groundwater
• surface water (lakes and rivers)
During transportation and storage, the pumps
must never be preserved with liquids which are
Note
aggressive to the pump materials.
