Industry: All
Application: UF & RO +Brine Minimization Pilot
Background
This Pilot Includes
Feed Tank
Feed Tank Temperature Control
Spiral UF
Brackish Water RO
Brine Concentrate RO
The objective in deploying this asset is to allow the user to determine the minimum amount of brine possible with using membrane technology in combination with physical chemical additives.
Instrumentation
Full instrumentation and satellite communications are included on this pilot.
Controls and Communications
All aspects of the system are monitored and controlled. All data is recorded every 5 seconds. Out of spec readings trigger yellow and red state alarms which are sent directly to to those who need to know.
