Entrapped Particle
RO System TrackingHow it works
• Uses a series of Membranes• Creates ultra pure water
Context Results
Plan Forward• Usage trends• Filter bag life analysis• Filtrate turbidity• Integrate pumps into DCS• Level Control• System Optimization
Context• No Tracking method in place• Feasibility study • Membrane use and waste
• Chemistry• Random dosing eliminated• Improve effectiveness • Lower usage• Redirect usage trends
Data
Results
• PI Manual entry• Data tables for RO A and B• Normalization spreadsheet
