Differential Pressure Transducer. Depending on
Prefiltration configuration this T-Connector may
not be necessary as illustrated on Page 3-7
and 3-8. Depending on the System style and
perfiltration configuration, one of the two Pressure
Pick-Up Tee styles may be used.
11. Pressure Differential Transducer #4 *** (optional)
for line differential pressure across prefiltration
components. Allows the operator to determine
which prefiltration component requires servicing.
WARNING: OIL WATER SEPARATOR
ELEMENT Use only Sea Recovery
supplied filter elements. Third party oil
water separator elements do not properly
fit and the seams fall apart. They also
allow by-pass resulting in extensive and
very costly damage to the High Pressure
Pump as well as premature fouling of the
R.O. Membrane Element(s).
12. Oil/Water Separator Filter removes oil present in
the feed water.
CAUTION: Oil permanently destroys
the R.O. Membrane element. It is
recommended that the user avoid
operating the Sea Recovery R.O.
System in oil polluted waters if the Oil/
Water Separator Filter is not installed.
13. Low Pressure Transducer #2 measures line
pressure after all prefiltration and prior to the
inlet of the High Pressure Pump.
14. Low Pressure Transducer Manifold supports the
Low Pressure and Differential Pressure
Transducers.
PRESSURIZATION SECTION:
The Pressurization Section provides the necessary
pressure to force the product water through the R.O.
membrane element.
1. High Pressure Pump and Motor Assembly is a
Radial Axial Positive Displacement Plunger Pump
made of high grade Duplex material specifically
designed for sea water Reverse Osmosis
applications. The Pump is self lubricated and does
not require oil. The Pump is connected to the
attached electric motor with a flex coupler and
safety bell housing.
Aqua Matic Modular 450-1800
2. High Pressure Hose, HP Pump Outlet to R.O.
Membrane and Vessel Assembly Inlet, transfers
pressurized sea water from the High Pressure
Pump to the inlet of the R.O. Membrane Element.
3. R.O. Membrane Element and Vessel #1 The
Membrane Element allows potable water
molecules to pass through while rejecting the
salt ions. Only 7% to 28%, depending on specific
model, of the Seawater Feed becomes fresh
Product Water. The remainder carries the rejected
salt ions out of the R.O. Membrane Element in a
concentrated brine stream. The R.O. System may
have one or two R.O. Membrane Element & Vessel
in series depending on the specific model and
system capacity.
4. R.O. Membrane Element and Vessel #2 is
connected in series with the first R.O. Membrane
Element and Vessel. The Sea Recovery R.O.
System will have either one or two R.O. Membrane
Element & Vessel depending on the model. The
2nd R.O. Membrane Element and Vessel may
be added at any time to a system with only one.
Adding the 2nd R.O. Membrane Element and
Vessel will double the System's production.
5. High Pressure Hose R.O. Membrane Vessel
Assembly Outlet to High Pressure Manifold Inlet.
6. High Pressure Transducer measures the
System Operating Pressure from the Outlet
of the High Pressure Pump through the R.O.
Membrane and Vessels.
7. Automatic Motor Actuated Back Pressure
Regulator is a U.S. Patent Pending device that
automatically adjusts the system operating
pressure to varying feed water temperatures
and salinities making the System a truly self
functioning and fully automatic watermaker.
BRINE DISCHARGE SECTION:
The Brine Discharge Section carries the Brine Discharge
water, exiting from the R.O. Membrane Element, back to
the feed source.
1. Brine Discharge Flow Meter measures the brine
water rate of flow from the R.O. Membrane
Element in gallons or liters per hour. By adding
the amount of Product Water flow to the Brine
Discharge Flow the operator is able to determine
the total Feed Water Flow.
