  • Page 6: General Safety Instructions

    General Safety Instructions Explanation of symbols and instructions These operating instructions contain important specifications on the safe operation of the system. These operating instructions, particularly the chapter on safety instructions, must be observed by all those who carry out work on the system. This applies to the installation company as well as the system operator.
  • Page 7: Personnel Obligations

    Personnel obligations Prior to commencing work, all individuals who are commissioned to work on the system or carry out such work independently undertake to:  read the chapter on safety and the warnings in these operating instructions and confirm by their signature that they have understood them.
  • Page 8: Protective Devices And Safety Measures To Avert Hazards

    Electric shock  Work on the electrical supply may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.  Check the system’s electrical equipment on a regular basis. Any loose connections or scorched cables must be removed immediately.  The control cabinet must be kept locked at all times. Access is only allowed to authorised personnel.
  • Page 9: Safety Instructions For Maintenance Work

    Safety instructions for maintenance work  The operator must ensure that all maintenance, inspection and installation work is carried out by authorised and qualified specialist personnel who have acquired the necessary infor- mation by studying the operating instructions.  Prior to all repair and maintenance work, the system must be switched off and secured against unintentional start-up.
  • Page 10: Safety Instructions For Storage

    1.12 Safety instructions for storage CAUTION! The reverse osmosis unit is protected by a preservative against microbial contamination and against risk of frost down to -10°C. At room temperature (< 25°C), this preservative must be purged and replaced within 6 months at the latest. At higher temperatures, the protection period is correspondingly shorter (3 months at 30°C).
  • Page 11: Principles Of Reverse Osmosis Units

    Principles of Reverse Osmosis Units Principle of reverse osmosis Osmosis is a process on which almost all natural metabolic processes are based. If you sep- arate two solutions of different concentrations in a system through a semi-permeable mem- brane, the more concentrated solution always tends to dilute. This process (osmosis) continues until osmotic equilibrium is reached.
  • Page 12: Calculation Equations

    Calculation equations The permeate output, the reject output and the permeate conductivity are determined by reading the corresponding measuring equipment on the system. If no indicating instruments (e.g. varia- ble area flow meter) are present, the permeate output and the reject output are determined by manual volumetric measurement.

  • Page 14: Transport And Storage

    Transport and Storage Transport to the customer CAUTION! All units must be secured against slipping and falling over during transport. Allowing the unit to tip out of its fixed position is not permitted. If system parts are protruding from the base area of the pallet, such protruding parts must be protected against damage while other parts/units are being loaded.

  • Page 16: Application Limits

    Application limits The membranes are wear parts in the longer term. Their service life depends on the feed wa- ter quality and the operating conditions. In order to achieve a projected membrane service life of 3 years, the reverse osmosis units should be operated with softened water or with hard wa- ter depending on the unit type, in each case in the same quality as drinking water according to the German Drinking Water Ordinance and according to the following additional specifications: Parameter...
  • Page 17: Product Description

    Product description 4.3.1 Function The RO feed water reaches the frequency-controlled HP pump via a residual hardness monitor (optional accessory, only when using softened water) and a protective cartridge filter (grade of filtration 5 µm). This pump conveys the water at high pressure (level depends on the permeate flow being drawn and the desired permeate pressure) through the semi-permeable membranes.

    7.3.2 Displays during break flushing The design of the tank (with or without overflow) determines whether the P-01 UO pump may be switched on during pause flushing (i.e. intermittent operation during production breaks due to a full tank). If the tank has an overflow, the HP pump P-01 is switched on and the ad ditionally produced permeate is drained via the overflow.
