Drinking Water System
Operating Profile
The system shall use reverse osmosis technology to reduce the total dissolved solids (TDS) level in water by a minimum of
95.0%. The system shall use line pressure for energy required to separate TDS form water. Normal system operating pressure
shall be 60 psi. The system uses an internal valve that closes and depressurizes the system when the unit goes into shutdown.
System shutdown is achieved when permeate pressure increases to 2/3 inlet pressure.
Membranes and Housings
The system shall use thin film composite membranes in a spiral wound configuration with dimensions of 1.7" x 10.0". One
membrane will be used to permeate 10.9 gpd of water, based on a 77º F operating temperature. Membrane construction will
provide for low energy requirements by operating at a minimal working pressure. Housings shall be of engineered plastic rated to
100 psi. One housing shall be used, designed to contain one 1.7" x 10.0" membrane element.
Plumbing Configuration
The system shall be rated for a maximum working pressure of 100 psi. Primary plumbing components shall be of polypropylene
and engineered plastic. A capillary tube shall control reject flow. Membrane shall be configured in a single stage orientation.
System Controls
System function is completely automatic. The operational sequence is controlled by hydraulic signals within the RO system.
These signals control the pressurization and depressurization of the membrane.
Frame
System dimensions shall not exceed 13" x 5" x 16". Units shall use an anodized coated aluminum frame.
