1.6 Electrical Description

This machine is equipped with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to provide start/stop, sequential, and alarm control. The Lakewood Instruments 2450 RO controller monitors four parameters including: permeate flow rate, concentrate flow rate, feed pH, and permeate conductivity. Five conditions will cause the RO to alarm and subsequently shut down the machine: high permeate pressure (DLX); low inlet pressure (<12 psi), low feed pH (<2.0); high feed pH (>8.0); high temperature [>105°F (41°C)]; and starter overload trip. Configurable external control and permeate purge on DLX models is also available via the PLC. Osmonics utilizes level control as the typical purge trigger, but permeate purge cycle can be controlled via any other external control contacts where purge is required on shutdown. External control can include Remote On/Off, Permeate Storage Tank Level Control, and/or Pre-treatment Lockout (i.e., softener regeneration). Refer to the E8 ECN and DLX Electrical Diagrams in the Power and Electrical Requirements section (2.5) for more details.

1.7 Flow Description

The feedwater passes through a replaceable 5-micron cartridge filter which removes bulk- suspended solids. Filtered water then flows to the inlet control valve. This solenoid-controlled diaphragm valve opens when the machine is turned on allowing water to flow to the pump inlet. When the machine is turned off, the valve closes, preventing non-turbulent flow through the membrane elements which would lead to shortened membrane life.

The pump feeds water to the membrane element housings arranged in parallel and series combinations. The direction of water flow is indicated by an arrow on each membrane element housing. Water is separated by the membrane within the membrane elements and leaves the membrane element housings in two streams, permeate and concentrate.

Permeate from each membrane element housing is collected in a common manifold. Check valves are installed on the permeate manifold to provide safety against backpressure. The permeate then flows through a flow meter and to the outlet point of the machine.

Concentrate leaves the last membrane element housing and flows to the flow control center (recycle/concentrate manifold located behind the instrument panel). At this point, the recycle valve channels a predetermined amount of concentrate into the pump inlet. Recycle increases recovery while maintaining adequate crossflow through the membrane elements. The other two ports of the flow control center lead to the concentrate valve and final pressure gauge. The concentrate valve has three functions. It controls the amount of concentrate flowing to drain, the pressure within the machine, and helps control the system recovery. The autoflush solenoid is also included in the flow control center. The concentrate then flows through a flow meter and to the outlet point of the machine.

2.0 INSTALLATION

The E8 RO machine was created like an appliance to make installation easy for you. The following installation guidelines will help you install your new E8 RO machine.

2.1 Feedwater Requirements

The following feedwater requirements must be met before installing your new E8 machine to ensure quality permeate and extended membrane element life.

Table 2.1: Feedwater Requirements

2.2 Mounting

E8-Series machines are equipped with a stand-alone frame, which supports the machine. At least 45 inches (114 cm) of space should be allowed on each end of the membrane element housings for removal and loading of membrane elements. If 45 inches (114 cm) are not available, the entire membrane element housing may need to be removed for membrane element replacement.

2.3 Plumbing

The E8 comes with socket connections installed in all isolation valves. However, FPT connections are shipped with the machine for easy switch to threaded connections.

2.3.2 Clean-In-Place (CIP) Plumbing

A clean-in-place assembly is designed into the Deluxe Model E8. The CIP tank attaches directly to the CIP pump via victaulic connection. Run hose or pipe from concentrate and permeate CIP outlet to CIP tank return fittings.

2.4 Chemical Feed System (DLX only)

The chemical pump must be mounted to the top of the chemical tank. Plug the pump into the outlet cord hanging from the back of the RO electrical enclosure to achieve chemical feed for pH control. The Lakewood Instruments 2450 controls the pH to the chemical pump (on/off).

To add a second chemical injection pump to the E8, see section 6.0, Field Installed Accessories.

2.5 Power and Electrical Requirements

WARNING: Before obtaining access to terminals, all supply circuits must be disconnected.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Motors are dual rated. Factory installed starters and wiring for 380 or 460 only. Must replace motor starter and motor wiring prior to converting to lower voltage.

The DLX and ECN E8 machines are supplied with a single-phase, 110 VAC, 60 Hz or 220 VAC, 50 Hz control circuit and 8-foot cord which plugs into a three-prong grounded receptacle. A 20 amp dedicated service circuit is required for proper operation. For 220 VAC, 50 Hz units, plug must be customer supplied.

For each model, the motor is wired at the factory to an overload protection motor starter, which is controlled by a panel-mounted manual switch.

The electrical system control circuit is separate from the motor voltage. Therefore, electrical wiring required in the field needs two supply voltages, the control circuit voltage and a separate 3-phase motor voltage. All field wiring must comply with applicable local and national electric codes.

2.5.1 ECN Electrical System Installation

1. Connect the control circuit power cord to 115 VAC, 60 Hz, or 220 VAC, 50 Hz, single-phase power.

2. Connect the motor starter to 230/460 VAC or 220/380 VAC, 3-phase power to match the motor voltage and phase. Check the tag (located on the motor starter) that indicates the factory wiring. A separate, fused disconnect for the motor wiring should be used.

3.0 PREPARATION AND START-UP

3.1 Pre-treatment for Water Purification

All systems will operate most efficiently on filtered water with a pH of less than 6.5 and a Silt Density Index (SDI) of 5 or below. If the machine is operated on higher pH water, other forms of pre-treatment may be necessary. A water analysis prior to start-up of the machine is required. To minimize the chances of calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, or other salt precipitation on the membrane, Osmonics evaluates each application and water condition and makes specific recommendations to assure continuity of the membrane element warranty. Data from the water analysis is processed with a computer program analysis to determine if potential problems may exist. If the machine is to be run at a different location than was originally intended, a new water analysis is required for warranty consideration and should be sent to Osmonics for review and recommendations for operation of the machine.

Before installing the machine, the feedwater must be filtered to 5 microns.

TLC membrane feedwater must not contain the following chemicals or permanent loss of rejection and/or permeate flow may result:

• free chlorine• formalin (until after a membrane element has been run for 24 hours, thereafter, 0.5%

formaldehyde may be used as a biocide)• iodine compounds• quaternary germicides• cationic surfactants• detergents containing non-ionic surfactants• cleaners not approved by Osmonics CAUTION: A water softener should not regenerate while the machine is running unless

safeguards are used to be sure the machine is operated on softened water during regeneration.

NOTE : To control the RO operation based on water softener regeneration cycle, wire the softener to the External Control circuit, as described in the External Controls section.

3.2 Initial Start-Up

NOTE: If your machine has the membrane elements installed in the housings, proceed to section 3.2.1 below. If your machine is provided with the membrane elements in shipping boxes, you must load the membrane elements in the housings prior to starting the machine. For membrane element loading instructions, skip to section 5.6, Membrane Element Installation. Upon completion of membrane element installation, return to section 3.2.1 to continue your start-up procedure.

1. Recheck the function and integrity of your pre-treatment equipment. Ensure that your water softener, activated carbon filters and iron filters (where applicable) have been leak checked, backwashed, and thoroughly rinsed for service before starting up your RO unit.

2. Attach the feedwater pipe to the inlet of the machine. The standard connection fitting is a PVC socket stub-end on the inlet ball valve. To accommodate the need for a threaded connection, an FPT stub-end was shipped with the machine.

3. Check for leaks at all connection points.

4. Turn the feedwater supply on gradually and check for leaks in the inlet plumbing. No flow should go through the machine while the power is off and the inlet solenoid is in the closed position.NOTE : When the machine is off, there should never be flow through the machine.

Flow through the machine when it is off can ruin the membrane elements.

11

5. Attach discharge plumbing to permeate and concentrate outlet points and run the tubing to drain. The standard connection fitting is a PVC socket (SOC) stub-end on the outlet ball valves. To accommodate the need for a threaded connection, an FPT stub-end was shipped with the machine.

6. Ensure that you have made provisions for both voltages required to operate your machine. The machine requires two power sources, (1) the high voltage for the motor operation and (2) the control circuit power supply. The factory provides the 110 VAC (or 220 VAC, 50 Hz) power cord needed for the control circuit. The motor electrical service must be field wired directly into the motor starter on the machine. Bring your motor service to terminals labeled “T” on the motor starter. Check the voltage label to ensure that you have brought the correct voltage to the starter.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Motors are dual rated. Factory installed starters and wiring for 380 or 460 only. Must replace motor starter and motor wiring prior to converting to lower voltage.

7. Be sure the power to the motor starter is de-energized.

8. With the machine On/Off switch in the Off position, plug in the factory supplied 110 VAC (or 220 VAC, 50 Hz) power cord.

9. Open your concentrate and recycle flow control valves (behind the control panel) two complete turns. Proper adjustment of these valves is critical to the operation of the RO machine. The concentrate valve determines the amount of rejected water leaving the machine and creates the operating pressure shown on the pressure gauge. The recycle valve returns unused reject flow back into the inlet stream to the RO pump. It is important to balance the operating pressure and the respective flows of these valves to ensure that your machine is operating correctly. It is also important to understand the relationship of these two valves, the pressure gauge, and your RO pump. The pump has a fixed amount of flow produced, and the valves are the control devices to distribute this fixed flow amount. The pressure gauge is an indicator of applied membrane pressure at the flows set by the valves.

10. With the power source to the motor starter de-energized, turn the On/Off switch to the On position. Water will begin to flow through the machine at this point but the pump will not start. Allow the machine to fill for ten minutes to evacuate all air.

11. As your machine is filling check for leaks and repair as needed.

12. Turn the On/Off switch to the Off position.

13. Energize the power source to the motor starter. The pump should not operate at this point.

14. Check the rotation of the high-pressure pump by, first, turning the On/Off switch to the On position. After the minimum inlet pressure of 12 psi (0.8 bar) is established and maintained for six seconds, the high-pressure pump will start. Immediately turn the On/Off switch to the Off position. Watch, or have an assistant watch the motor, or coupling shaft, for direction of rotation. The motor should rotate clockwise while looking at the motor end of the high-pressure pump. If the motor is not rotating clockwise, change any two of the three leads (for 3-phase) in the motor starter and recheck rotation. Always turn the power off to change any wiring.

CAUTION: Operation of the pump backwards for even a short time can cause damage to the pump.

12

15. Turn the On/Off switch to the On position. The high-pressure pump will operate and the machine will begin to build pressure.

16. As you are operating, be sure to watch the primary and final pressure gauges on the instrument panel. The machine is designed to operate at approximately 190 psi (13.1 bar) average operating pressure.

NOTE : Do not allow the pressure to exceed the maximum pressure (Pmax) specified for your machine model (refer to the Min/Max Machine Pressure Table 1.2 for Pmax). If the pressure exceeds Pmax, open the concentrate flow control valve until the pressure gauge shows Pmax or less.

17. As the machine purges the air and fills with water, the pressure will gradually increase. You should see water flow through the permeate and concentrate piping, viewed on the operation screen of your Lakewood 2450. If you do not see flow, turn the machine off and return to section 3.2.1.

18. Gradually adjust the concentrate flow control valve. As you adjust the valve, watch the average pressure (Pavg) and your concentrate flow meter. Adjust the valve until your concentrate flow meter displays your design flow and you do not exceed Pmax. If you exceed Pmax before the valve is completely closed, open the recycle flow control valve one full turn, then continue to adjust the concentrate flow control valve.

19. With the concentrate flow control valve set to obtain the design concentrate flow and the pressure below Pmax, gradually adjust the recycle flow control valve until Pavg reaches 190 psi (13.1 bar). Readjust the concentrate and then the recycle valves, if necessary.

20. Your machine is now operating at the design pressure and flow rates in a 75% recovery configuration. Your specific needs or conditions may dictate the need to operate the machine at a lower recovery. If you wish to operate in a recovery configuration lower than 75%, 3.2.18 explains the necessary steps.

21. Your machine is equipped with flow meters and a pressure gauge that will assist you in setting alternate flow rates for variable recoveries. If you wish to operate at a recovery lower than 75%, you must ensure that the flow rates for the permeate and concentrate are at desired levels. Some minor adjustments in the concentrate and recycle flow control valves may be necessary.

22. When you have selected your desired flow rate, gradually adjust the concentrate flow control valve to achieve desired flow and use the recycle valve to bring the operating pressure up to 190 psi (13.1 bar).

23. Once the desired flow rate is achieved, at 190 psi (13.1 bar) operating pressure, no further valve adjustment is needed.

NOTE: Permeate flow rates are dependent upon temperature and conditions at your site. Contact your dealer if you have any questions.

24. The system is now operational.

25. Before putting the machine into final operation, continue to run the permeate and concentrate streams to drain for at least 30 minutes. This is done to ensure that all of the preservative has been removed from the membrane elements.

26. Connect the permeate line to the point-of-use of the permeate. Check for leaks and ensure that you have no kinks in hoses or blockage of any plumbing on the permeate and concentrate outlet lines.

27. Make any final adjustments to flows and pressure according to 3.2.18, if need be.

NOTE : The membrane element(s) in your machine are rated for certain flow rates at 77°F (25°C). Maximum flow rates are achieved when the membrane elements have been completely rinsed and on-line for at least 24 hours.

13

28. Create copies of the start-up log sheet, Figure 11.1, and fill one out. A daily log sheet including general operating conditions (pressures, flows, concentrations, pH, and pre-treatment conditions), and routine or special maintenance (flushing or cleaning as needed) must be kept. Osmonics will require this log sheet if a warranty question arises.

3.3 Daily Start-Up

Check the machine to insure isolation valves are in the proper positions for operation.

To turn the RO on, depress the On/Off switch. If the alarm light is lit, push the “alarm reset” switch. If the alarm light stays lit, check the RO for an alarm condition. Otherwise, the main inlet valve will open, and the high-pressure pump will turn on. The high-pressure pump will not start if there is insufficient inlet pressure [<12 psi (0.83 bar)].

Daily performance data must be recorded on the daily log form as explained in Operation and Maintenance section of this manual.

4.0 OPERATION OF LAKEWOOD INSTRUMENTS 2450 RO CONTROLLER

CAUTION: All electromechanical devices are subject to failure from a variety of causes. These include mechanical stress, component degradation, electromechanical fields, mishandling, improper set up, physical abuse, chemical abuse, improper installation, improper power feeds and exposure. While every precaution is taken to insure proper functioning, extra precautions should be taken to limit the ability of overfeeding by limiting chemical quantities available, secondary shutdowns, alarms and redundancy or other available methods.

CAUTION: Low voltage wiring and high voltage (110 plus) should not be run in the same conduit. Always run separately. Even shielded low voltage is not a guarantee of isolation. Every precaution should be taken to insure proper grounding and elimination of shorting or electromagnetic field (EMF) interference.

4.1 Description

The Model 2450 is a monitoring instrument for reverse osmosis machines and can be used for pH control. The unit provides for tracking of pH and conductivity as well as flow monitoring. The system allows for alarm set points and can do a system shutdown when safety set points are exceeded. The system can also be set up to communicate with a computer by either a direct RS232 connection or remotely by modem. System operating information such as alarms and measurement readings can be saved to a data log and downloaded to a computer. Security features allow you to select full access to programming features or to restrict limited or no access.

The Lakewood Instruments 2450 controller is equipped with four relays. This machine uses relay 1 for a high/low pH, conductivity, and high temperature alarm. Relay 3 is used for pH chemical pump control. Relays 2 and 4 are available for your use. Relay 1 can be configured to accept additional timer or alarm parameters, available on the 2450 for machine shutdown.

4.1.1 LONWORKS* Technology

The Model 2450 uses LONWORKS Technology which is the latest in microprocessor capability, giving the use the highest level of application flexibility. The Model 2450 is user-friendly with a large illuminated graphics screen and numeric keypad, and accesses multiple inputs and easy set up. This monitor can also be quickly upgraded in the field. It’s a combination of reliability, accuracy, security and simplicity. Water meters and sensors are purchased separately.

• COMMUNICATION–Setting and reading the monitor can be done remotely with the –RS2L computer option. This data link can connect directly to a personal computer (PC) or through a modem and phone line to any modem-equipped PC.

• SECURITY–A password system can be established which requires a user password to be able to make changes or do anything more than just read the monitor readout. An operator password can help insure that the system will be operated only by authorized personnel.

*LONWORKS is a registered trademark of Echelon Corporation.

4.4.5 Calibration Methodology

1. You must have an accurate reading of the system water to properly calibrate the monitor.• A properly calibrated handheld temperature, conductivity, or pH

meter may be acceptable for completing calibrations• NOTE: If at any time you believe that the pH, conductivity, or

temperature calibrations have been improperly performed, you may reinitialize the calibrations and restore them to their default values.

2. Calibrate the temperature first.• Measure the temperature of the system water• Press PRO on the keypad, select ZERO• Use the number keys to enter the value, then press ENT• Do not choose SPAN when calibrating temperature

3. To calibrate pH• Measure the pH of the system water with a handheld meter• Press PRO on the keypad, select zero• Use the number keys to enter the value, then press ENT• Do not choose SPAN when calibrating pH

4. To calibrate conductivity• Take a system water sample reading with your handheld meter• Press PRO on the keypad• Use the number keys to enter the value, then press ENT• When the number is accepted, you will see the SPAN COMPLETE

screen before the LCD display switches back to the original OPERATION screen

5. Take a second sample and confirm that the readings on the monitor display are correct.

4.4.6 Setpoints (pH, Conductivity, Temperature, Permeate and Concentrate Flow)

Typically, pH is the only process that will be controlled. Follow these instructions to establish the monitor’s setpoint.

1. From the MAIN MENU, press 2 or highlight RELAYS and press ENT.

2. Press the number of the relay governing the operation you wish to control.

3. Press 2 or highlight SETPOINT CONTROL and press ENT.

4. Select process to control (pH, conductivity, etc.) by pressing its number.

5. Press 1 to enter SETPOINT values for that relay. Simply use the keypad numbers to enter the proper value and press ENT. When finished, you will automatically be moved down to the next value.• Enter SETPOINT value• Enter DEADBAND value

“Deadband” refers to a range above and below the setpoint within which the monitor will not react. Using a deadband range reduces the chance of erroneous or nuisance relay activity due to temporary fluctuations in monitored levels. It should be a small percentage of the setpoint. Half the deadband amount will

20

automatically be put above the setpoint, and the other half below. For example, a pH setpoint of 7.00 pH units in DIRECT mode, with a deadband of 0.10 pH units would result in a system that turns the relay ON at 7.05 and OFF at 6.95 pH. The same setpoint in REVERSE mode would turn the relay ON at 6.95 and OFF at 7.05 pH units.

• Enter TIMEOUT value (maximum 17 hours 59 minutes)

6. Press 2 to enter SETPOINT directions.a. Press 1 to enable DIRECT control. (The relay opens below setpoint,

e.g., relay controlling acid injection for pH control. That is, when pH rises above the setpoint, the relay closes and allows injection of more acid.)

b. Press 2 to enable REVERSE control. (The relay opens above setpoint, e.g., relay controlling caustic injection for pH control. That is, when pH falls below the setpoint, the relay closes and allows injection of more caustic.)

7. When finished with all setpoint entries, you can press CLR three times to select another relay. Or, press CLR four times to return to the MAIN MENU.

4.5 Technician, Security, and Operator Level Menus

The model 2450 monitor is menu-driven for easy use. Once you become familiar with the menu options, it will be easy to perform set up and calibration procedures. This section of the manual provides a comprehensive overview of the entire menu as shown from each security level. In order to lead off with a complete look at the menu, the levels are shown in the following order: 3) TECHNICIAN, 2) OPERATOR, 1) VIEW ONLY. Once you review the instructions in this section and learn the menu options, you will be able to perform your own set up and calibration using these examples to guide you through the process. The model 2450 offers three optional security levels: 1) VIEW ONLY, 2) OPERATOR and 3) TECHNICIAN. A password is required to change from one security level to another. Each level has its own factory-preset password (2222 for TECHNICIAN, 1111 for OPERATOR), but your water treatment engineer can also designate personalized passwords from the TECHNICIAN Level menu. The following pages illustrate the menu screens available in each security level.

NOTE: If you personalize passwords, make sure they are recorded in a safe and secure place.

5.0 MACHINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

The operation and maintenance of your Osmonics E8 Machine is relatively simple but requires regular data recording and routine preventative maintenance. We cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of filling out the daily log sheet during each operating shift. A data sheet was filled out upon start-up containing pertinent facts on the operation of your machine. These two records are invaluable in diagnosing the performance of the equipment, or warranty issues, and must be kept for reference. If you have questions concerning the operation of your machine or the method of data recording, contact the Osmonics Application Engineering Department.

The three preventative maintenance procedures which must be done on a regular basis are as follows:

• Change the pre-filter cartridge.• Flush the machine daily.• Clean the machine with approved Osmonics cleaners.

See the following sections for specific maintenance procedures.

5.1 Daily Log Sheets

A Daily Log Sheet, which includes general operating conditions (pressures, flows and concentrations) and routine or special maintenance (pre-filter changes, flushing, cleaning, etc.), must be kept. Copies of the log can be made from the template. A copy of this log sheet will be required by Osmonics if a warranty question arises.

5.2 Pre-Filter

5.2.1 A 5-micron pre-filter is factory installed to protect the membrane elements and valves from particles which may be in the feedwater. To order replacements, see the Spare Parts List.

5.2.2 The filter cartridges must be replaced, at a minimum, once per week or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever comes first. A pressure drop across the filter of 8 psig (0.6 bar) or more during operation indicates the cartridge(s) need changing. Use only Osmonics approved filters rated for 5 microns or less. Do not attempt to clean used filters. Install new replacements.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Failure to change the filter according to these requirements will void machine warranty.

5.3 Flushing

The Autoflush system, provided on all models, automatically flushes the machine and eliminates the need for frequent manual flushing. However, if the Autoflush system becomes inoperable, the machine should be flushed manually at least daily to remove sediment from membrane surfaces. To flush the unit:

1. Open the concentrate valve until the pressure gauge indicates the minimum pressure designated on the nameplate. This increases the flushing action on the membrane.

NOTE: If pressure will not decrease to designated pressure, or if the concentrate rate does not increase when the valve is opened, the valve may be plugged.

2. Operate the machine at the designated minimum pressure for 10 to 20 minutes.

37

CAUTION : Do not operate the machine below the designated pressure without approval from Osmonics. Operation below the stated pressure may be detrimental to the pump.

3. Close the concentrate valve and ensure that the proper concentrate flow rate is going to the drain (see the nameplate on the panel).

5.4 Cleaning

Cleaning the E8 machine on a regular basis is vital. Over time, contaminants build up to form a layer on membrane surfaces, reducing the permeate flow and quality. If this build-up is not removed from the membrane, it may cause permanent chemical damage and reduce membrane element life. A decrease in permeate flow and/or rejection of salts, or an increased pressure drop across the machine will indicate when cleaning is required. Cleaning may be required as often as once every week or as infrequently as every two months, depending upon the local water supply conditions. Osmonics recommends cleaning at least every month to assure good membrane element performance and long membrane element life.

Osmonics offers a full line of chemical cleaners for specific cleaning needs. See Table 5.1 below.

5.4.1 Cleaning Procedure

1. With the RO machine running, open the CIP permeate valve. After this valve has been opened, close the permeate service valve. Permeate water will flow into the CIP tank. Allow the water to run through the CIP tank and the CIP tank drain valve for a few minutes to assure the tank is rinsed thoroughly. After a minute or so, close the CIP tank drain valve. The CIP tank should begin to fill with RO permeate. When the CIP tank has filled to the indicated full line, turn the ON/OFF switch (on the RO machine) to the OFF position.

2. While the machine is OFF, close the manual inlet valve and open the CIP inlet valve. Divert the permeate and concentrate streams to the cleaning container for recirculation. Ensure that the pre-filter is clean. A CIP pump (supplied with DLX models only) is recommended to supply feed pressure into the machine.

3. Turn the CIP ON/OFF switch and the main ON/OFF switch to the ON position and recirculate the cleaning solution through the machine. The cleaning solution should be recirculated for approximately 15 minutes or until the solution temperature reaches 100°F (38°C), however, do not exceed 110°F (43°C). The membrane elements can only handle temperatures in excess of 85°F (29°C) for short periods of time. If heat rise occurs too quickly, larger volumes of cleaning solution or the use of a heat exchanger will slow the temperature rise. Turn the CIP off and allow it to soak for 10 minutes. CAUTION: Do not leave a cleaning strength solution in the machine for a

period longer than one hour. The cleaning solution may damage the membrane elements and/or the machine during an extended period of contact.

4. To flush the detergent from the machine, close the CIP inlet valve and divert the permeate and concentrate to drain by opening the CIP drain valve. Operate the machine as described in the flushing section for at least one hour. The detergent is sufficiently flushed when the permeate conductivity is restored to nearly its previous level.

5. To return the RO to service, open the permeate and concentrate valves so that flow is routed as intended in the service mode. Close the CIP permeate and CIP concentrate valves. The RO is now ready for operation.

39

5.5 Draining Machine for Shipment

Prior to shipping or outside storage of an Osmonics E8 machine, the system should be cleaned with the appropriate cleaner, flushed with water, and protected from biological attack with the appropriate solution. The membrane element housings and plumbing lines of the machine must be completely drained. Any water remaining in the plumbing of a machine may freeze, causing damage to the plumbing, pump, membrane elements, etc. The party shipping or storing the machine is responsible for any damage resulting from freezing.

1. Disconnect the inlet, concentrate and permeate outlets.

2. Drain all water from the cartridge filter housing.

3. Remove the tubing connections on the outlets of the membrane element housings.

4. Open the concentrate valve.

5. Open sample/drain valves in all PVC manifolds.

6. Remove drain plug from pump discharge plumbing.

7. Allow the machine to drain for a minimum of eight hours or until the opened ports quit dripping.

8. After draining is complete, reconnect all of the plumbing.

5.6 Membrane Element Installation

1. For machines with membrane elements not loaded at the factory, the following steps are to be used for installation.

CAUTION : The membrane element is packaged in a small amount of bactericide solution to prevent biological growth; provide adequate ventilation when handling. The membrane element must be kept moist at all times in order to prevent possible damage to the membrane material.

2. Remove the membrane element bag containing the membrane element from the shipping tube.

3. Cut the bag open as close as possible to the seal at the end of the bag, so that the bag may be reused if necessary.

4. Remove the membrane element from the bag and remove the foam protectors from each end of the membrane element.

5. Remove the parts from the parts container (if included) and inspect. Make sure that all parts are clean and free from dirt. Examine the O-rings, brine seal, and permeate tube for nicks or cuts. Replace the O-rings or brine seal if damaged. Set the membrane element aside in a clean space, and continue on to the step below.

6. Remove the end caps from both ends of all membrane element housings on your machine. This is done by removing the screws and retaining ring on each end cap closure assembly.

7. Determine the direction of fluid flow in the membrane element housing. (Be certain to look at the “Direction of Flow” arrow for each membrane element housing; they may be different within a given machine.)

8. Inspect the membrane element housing and clean as necessary to remove any contaminants, obstructions, etc.

9. Apply a small amount of O-ring lubricant to all O-rings on the end caps and the brine seal on the membrane element.

10. Insert the downstream end of the membrane element in the upstream end of the membrane element housing (i.e., load in the direction of flow; the brine seal is on the end of the membrane element that goes in last).

11. Insert the membrane element in the membrane element housing with a smooth and constant motion. When you reach the point where the brine seal is about to enter the housing, gently turn the membrane element to ensure the brine seal enters the housing without coming out of the brine seal groove.

12. When all of your membrane elements are installed, you must close the membrane element housing package by reinstalling the end caps and clamps. It is preferred to install the bottom end cap first and tighten the clamp completely before installing the top end cap.

13. Reinstall the end caps by gently twisting the end cap while pushing it on to the permeate tube. Insure that you do not pinch or fatigue any O-rings while pushing the end cap on. Push the end cap on until the outer diameter of the cap passes the retaining ring groove. Install the retaining ring screws.

14. Reconnect any fittings that were removed when disassembling the membrane element housings.

15. Return to the Initial Start-Up Procedure, section 3.2.1.

5.7 Membrane Element Replacement

As time progresses, the efficiency of the membrane element will be reduced. In general, the salt rejection does not change much until two to three years after installation, when operated on properly pre-treated feedwater and routine maintenance performed. The permeate flow rate will begin to decline slightly after one year of operation, but can be extended with diligent flushing and cleaning of the machine. High pH feedwater and/or precipitation of hardness can cause premature loss in rejection and even flow rate. The following procedure is to be followed to replace existing membrane elements in the machine.

1. Remove the end caps and clamps from all of the membrane element housings.

2. Remove all of the membrane elements from the membrane element housings in the direction of flow (where possible). If necessary, a membrane element can be removed against the direction of flow. A heavy-duty pliers or channel lock pliers may be necessary to pull the old membrane element out of the membrane element housing.

3. To reinstall replacement membrane elements, follow Membrane Element Replacement procedure above.

NOTE: Follow Membrane Element Specifications stated in Table 1.3.

NOTE: Do not allow the machine to freeze unless it is totally drained. It must thaw a minimum of 24 hours before starting.

6.0 FIELD INSTALLED ACCESSORIES

6.1 External Controls

Your E8 RO machine is equipped with External Control capability. External Control is the on/off control of the RO via a signal from a remote device. Use External Control when Permeate Purge is not desired prior to RO shutdown (Permeate Purge is described in Section 6.2). The External Control could be remote on/off, level control, pre-treatment lockout, and/or post-treatment lockout, etc. Utilization of this feature requires a customer-wired control loop, wired to factory-supplied terminals. This procedure is as follows.

WARNING: Before obtaining access to terminals, all supply circuits must be disconnected.

1. Establish that the remote device(s) has dry contacts available to provide the shutdown signal to the RO. Ensure that the normal mode of the contact is such that it opens when shutdown is desired.

2. With the power supply removed from the control circuit, open the control enclosure (enclosure containing on/off switch).

3. Remove jumper wire #17 from between terminals #22 and #17.

4. Wire from the 24VDC source terminal #22 to the first remote device. Wire all additional devices in series with the first.

5. Wire from the last remote device to terminal #17.

With multiple remote devices wired in series, as described above, an open contact from any of the configured devices will activate the External Control shutdown.

6.2 Permeate Purge

Permeate Purge was designed into the E8 RO machine to provide an integral means of reducing the fouling potential of the stagnant concentrate in the RO during extended periods after automatic shutdown. The deluxe E8 machine is equipped with the necessary plumbing and electrical controls to provide a 10-minute pure water (permeate) purge. Activation of the purge cycle requires a customer-wired control loop to factory-supplied terminals. This procedure is provided later in this section.

NOTE : The purge control valves can take up to one minumte to switch into purge position. This delay will not adversely affect the purge cycle.

The purge cycle is activated by a shutdown signal received from an external device wired to the RO. Upon activation of the purge cycle, the machine remains in run mode and the permeate stream is redirected to the inlet of the machine. The feedwater is diluted by an amount proportional to the operating recovery of the machine. The net result after concentration of the diluted feed stream, at the operating recovery, is that the water in the machine at shutdown will have TDS concentrations approximately equal to the machine feed TDS level. The low TDS environment created reduces the potential for sepralator fouling during the down period, extending membrane life. The purge operates for a 10-minute period. During this period, no permeate is discharged from the machine, and concentrate flows from the machine at the normal operating rate. When the cycle is complete, the RO pump will shut down. When the request to restart is received, the RO will restart and operate as normal. If the restart signal is received during the purge cycle, the cycle will terminate and the RO will return to normal operating mode. If the RO is shut down by the on/off switch during the cycle, the purge cycle will reset. If the on/off switch is then set to on, and the external device is still requesting a purge-activated shutdown, the purge cycle will operate for the complete 10-minute cycle and shut down the RO.

42

Since this feature is designed to provide a low TDS environment during extended shutdown periods, the purge sequence will not activate for any factory configured shutdown event (i.e., on/off switch, alarm shutdown, etc.). These shutdown events are assumed to typically be short down periods. Also, activation of the purge cycle for these events may be undesirable if immediate shutdown is required. The purge cycle will activate when a shutdown request is made by an external component that is configured for purge-activated RO shutdown. If purge is desired for a manual shutdown using the on/off switch, and a long downtime is anticipated, a manual switch can be wired into the purge activated shutdown loop to perform the purge activated shutdown. The RO on/off switch can then be turned off.

Level control of a permeate storage tank is Osmonics’ standard external control device which activates purge shutdown. Any other remote device(s) can be used where permeate purge is desired prior to RO shutdown. Examples are remote on/off, and/or post-treatment lockout, etc.

WARNING: Do not configure pre-treatment devices for purge-activated shutdown. The purge cycle requires the feedwater supplied by these devices.

To establish the control loop for purge-activated shutdown, perform the following steps.

WARNING: Before obtaining access to terminals, all supply circuits must be disconnected.1. Establish that the remote device(s) has dry contacts available to provide the shutdown signal

to the RO. Ensure that the normal mode of the contact is such that it opens when shutdown is desired.

2. With the power supply removed from the control circuit, open the control enclosure (enclosure containing on/off switch).

3. Remove jumper #18 from between terminals #22 and #18.

4. Wire from the 24VDC source terminal #22 to the first remote device. Wire all additional devices in series with the first.

5. Wire from the last remote device to terminal #18.

With multiple remote devices wired in series, as described above, an open contact from any of the configured devices will activate the permeate purge cycle.

6.3 Addition of Second Chemical Pump

On the Deluxe E8 RO machine, Osmonics has supplied a single chemical injection system with controls factory configured for pH control. See section 2.4 for installation of this system. To install an additional chemical injection system, use relay #2 or #4 in the Lakewood Instruments 2450 Controller. The relay can be configured to operate for pH control, or continuous, any time the RO is running (i.e., based on permeate flow).

WARNING: Do not plug in chemical pumps that are larger than 1/6 horsepower. The control relays are intended for electronic or small motor-driven chemical pumps.

6.4 CIP Installation on ECN Models

Osmonics has installed a plugged pipe tee in the inlet line of the E8 series units. This plug, when removed, will facilitate cleaning of the unit. Valved CIP connections are provided on the permeate and concentrate outlets to allow flow back to the cleaning tank.

If a membrane element fails to perform satisfactorily during the balance of the warranty period and with the return of the membrane element to the factory, Osmonics will replace the membrane element with a new membrane element and will charge the User for the portion of the 24 months that the membrane element was used plus incoming freight and local labor. Such pro rata charges will be based on the list price prevailing at the time of warranty consideration. A new membrane element supplied under warranty terms will carry the standard 24 month new membrane element warranty.

If a membrane element is to be returned for warranty inspection, the User must obtain a Return Materials Order (RMO) number from Osmonics before returning the membrane elements. Membrane elements are to be returned freight prepaid to Osmonics, and Osmonics will return any warranty replacement membrane elements to the customer prepaid. Membrane elements must be kept damp at all times and must be clean and bagged in a watertight bag before returning. Only Osmonics’ approved cleaners, biocides, dispersants or other chemicals may be used with the membrane elements. Use of other chemicals may void the warranty. The User is responsible for knowing the membrane element membrane material and for ensuring that chemicals harmful to the membrane are never in contact with the membrane elements.

It is the obligation of the User to maintain frequent operating data records. Osmonics may request these records in the warranty evaluation. User must notify Osmonics at the very first sign of changes in operation of the Osmo machine or membrane elements. Such notification should be in writing and should include all data requested on the operating log sheets.
