  • Page 11: Purification (Sodium Removal)

    NoNa 2.2.1 Purification (sodium removal) During purification, sodium (and other monovalent ions) is removed from the drain water. This is transferred to the wastewater. During this process, a tension field is applied to the stack. This forces the ions to move through the membranes. This contaminates the membranes.
  • Page 12 NoNa Figure 2-3: Schematic diagram of purification process (discharging stack) The purification process works as follows in the drain water circuit: Drain water is supplied from the drain water tank. The drain water pump sends the water into the NoNa The drain water flows past: multiple pressure gauges (this is where the pressure is measured) a flow sensor (this is where the flow rate is measured)

  • Page 13: Short Flush With Fresh Water

    NoNa current/voltage meter (this is where the electrical current and voltage are measured) ion-selective membranes electrodes In the stack, sodium and other fertilizers are transferred to the wastewater. The wastewater flows back into the wastewater tank. 2.2.2 Short flush with fresh water The drain water circuit performs a short flush with fresh water using water from the fresh water tank.

    NoNa Figure 2-5: Schematic diagram of discharging wastewater The wastewater pump drains the wastewater tank. The water is discharged into the sewer. 2.2.4 Intermittent (acid) cleaning The wastewater circuit is used for intermittent (acid) cleaning. During this process, both valves to the stack are open. Before initiating the intermittent (acid) cleaning process, the NoNa first performs the following steps:...

  • Page 15: Product Specifications

    NoNa The intermittent (acid) cleaning process works as follows: Acid is pumped from the tank used for intermittent (acid) cleaning, and is fed into the wastewater tank. Here it mixes with the wastewater. The wastewater pump draws the wastewater from the wastewater tank. The wastewater enters the stack via both valves.
