RO PLANT START UP MANUAL

RO Plant Start-Up

On start up, the inlet valve should open prior to the initiation of the high-pressure pump, to completely fill the system with low pressure water (<100 psi [< 7 Bars]). This "soft start" will prevent hydraulic shock at start-up. Pre-treatment chemical addition should begin at this time (making sure the chemicals are not over-injected). The high-pressure pump should then be started and the system slowly bought on-line, up to design permeate flow.

If starting up after a period of shutdown, flush the permeate to drain for 30 minutes to remove residual preservation chemicals. Produced water permeate can be used when it meets the quality requirement of downstream processes.
