Tending to System Maintenance is Necessary for Successful Operation Understanding and reacting to the performance of a reverse osmosis (RO) system is necessary for continued successful operation. It is this interaction that allows us to quickly and correctly identify and correct issues that may arise. The following discussion is intended to explain the importance of RO maintenance Understanding and performing routine RO maintenance can prevent most problems before they occur. RO maintenance is more than repairing and replacing parts. It means taking steps to reduce or prevent problems from occurring and being aware that a problem may be coming before it happens. Ensuring the RO is properly applied to the project and that feed water pretreatment (and the feed water itself) is checked on a regular basis also are instrumental. You also must check that normal scheduled maintenance occurs. If the system is large enough, daily log sheets are to be filled out. Maintenance is a combination of all these. An RO unit is only as good as the application allows. The first step in preventative care is to ensure the feed water is of satisfactory condition. Customers just don’t want to pay for that all-important feed water analysis, yet it cannot be stressed strongly enough. The larger the system, the greater the importance. Be aware of your feed water source. Surface water can produce needs that groundwater does not and vice versa. If your community mixes the two, it can be a "double whammy." The point is to understand your feed water and install the proper pretreatment
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
RO system
Feed water source .
Pump
Arrival inspection, transportation, handling, lifting and storage
Pre-maintenance (Installation and commissioning)
Operation of motor pump unit
Maintenance and service of the pump unit .
This course is directed towards Supervisors, Team Leaders and Managers in RO Maintenance, RO Engineering and Production. The course will also benefit anyone who wishes to update themselves on RO Feed pump Predictive Maintenance Technologies, vibration analysis and Failure Analysis techniques, as well as those who have to judge the suitability of these technologies for their needs, and learn how to implement them for the benefit of their pumping system
