REVERSE OSMOSIS ELEMENT MODULE
The RO element module is a welded aluminum pipe frame that houses seven seawater RO elements in titanium
pressure vessels with a RO pressure gauge for feed and brine pressures, and a rupture disc. A three-way valve
with a liquid-filled gauge provides the brine and RO feed pressure. The reject control valve allows variation of
the RO feed pressure to control the product water flow rate. The product piping includes sample valves V30
through V36 for measuring the flow rate and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of the product water from each RO
element. Elements in the titanium pressure vessels RO1 through RO7 can be replaced in the field. There are
four different configurations of the pressure vessels interconnected with piping. See Figure 8.
