OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS
REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM DETERGENT CLEANING OPERATION
UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS
CAUTION
Failure to add sodium bisulfite to the chlorinated product water that is used for
cleaning will result in RO membrane failure.
c.
Add one cap of sodium bisulfite to the RO feed tank while filling the tank to neutralize the
chlorine in the product water.
d. Reset the RO Feed Tank Low Alarm.
e. Start the RO Feed Pump. Silence any alarms.
1) This flushes product water through the RO vessels and out the waste hose.
2) When the low level is reached, the pump stops and the alarm sounds.
10. Repeat the product water flush of the RO vessels (steps 9b through 9e).
a. While repeating the product water flush of the RO vessels, momentarily open the
following drain valves (see Figure 9 for valve location):
1) RO Feed Pump Drain Valve V-211
2) High Pressure Pump Outlet Drain Valves V-301 and V-302
3) Feed Piping Drain Valve V-304
4) Turbocharger Feed Side Drain Valve V-303
5) Turbocharger Reject Side Drain Valve V-410
b. Momentarily opening and closing these valves allows enough water through the valves to
flush them. Leave the valves in the closed position when completing the flushing
process.
