    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 pres- sure gauge is an indicator of applied membrane element pressure a the flows set by the valves 8. Press the ...

    15. As the machine purges the air and fills with water , the pressure will gradually increase. W ater should flow through the permeate and concentrate piping, viewed on the individual flow meters. If you do not see flow , turn the machine OFF and return to Section 3.2 (Initial Start-Up). 16. Gradually adjust the concentrate flow control valve. As y ...

    centration of the diluted feed stream, at the operating recovery , is that the water in the machine at shutdown will have total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations approximate- ly equal to the machine feed TDS level. The low TDS environment created reduces the potential for membrane element fouling during the down period, extending membrane ele- ...
