4. DETERMINE OPERATING DC CURRENT PRIOR TO STARTUP

The VNX50HH-2 modules are designed and tested to operate correctly at 8 amps. If the feed water
meets the influent quality requirements for the VNX50HH-2, the current will be set independent of the
Feed Water Conductivity (FCE).
Set the power supply to operate in constant amperage mode and set the
amperage at 8 Amps DC.
Note – This procedure is different from our typical startup amperage calculation that would be calculated
based on the Feed Water Conductivity Equivalent (FCE).

5. START-UP PROCEDURE

5.1. Test interlocks

Test flow switches and other interlocks, including the RO interlock if applicable
Test pressure relief if applicable
Set alarm points

5.2. Notes on Recovery, Silica and Hardness

VNX50HH-2
VNX recovery of 90% is limited to systems with feed water total hardness of less than 1 ppm
as CaCO
. For systems operating with CEDI feed water hardness from 1 – 2 ppm as CaCO
3
the maximum water recovery is limited to 80%. In addition there is a minimum reject flow of
2.6 gpm per VNX modules.
For normal recovery of 80-90%, feed water silica must be ≤ 1 ppm as SiO
