The Challenge
A premier advanced materials manufacturing facility in New England required a constant supply of reverse osmosis (RO) water for its manufacturing processes. Permeate of <10 microsiemens/cm was required. A municipal water supply would be feeding the facility, requiring RO pretreatment to be designed and put in place ahead of the RO. Peak flow requirements were ~35 gallons per minute (GPM) of RO permeate.
Our Solution
Pure Flow designed a custom high purity water solution with the following components:
- Backwashing duplex parallel carbon tanks for dechlorination and RO pretreatment
- Backwashing duplex alternating water softener for hardness reduction and RO pretreatment
- Suez E4-H Reverse Osmosis – 4″ membranes, horizontally-oriented membrane housings
The complete system was pre-piped and skid mounted at our facility prior to shipment to site for start-up and commissioning. The system operates flawlessly and meets all customer specifications.
