S T A R T-U P
The operation and possible codes relate to PI-drawing enclosed. The general setting
and set-up values can be found in the Settings document.
Caution Flush the inlet water piping thoroughly into drain before the system start-up.
Heavy piping scale or sediment can permanently cover or foul the filter media and
the cartridges.
1. Connect the water pressure to inlet pressure boosting by opening all the necessary
valves.
Switch on the feed pumps for a short period of time to test the pump rotation.
Reverse any two of the three main power leads.
Caution Do not run the pumps dry more than few seconds.
Prefilters
The system has been pre-tested at factory site. To ensure all the operations and to
find out possible transport damages, the following procedures are suggested.
3.1 Check that the bag filters are equipped with appropriate, clean bags (option only).
Note - See Performa Cv Valve Manual for complete start-up and settings.
- See document 60251 to setup the default parameters. Adjust the settings if
found necessary. Before the set-up plug in the electrical cord.
3.2.1 Manually backwash filter F2.1. This is done by manually pressing the Backwash
button. Once pressed, the unit will begin the backwash within some minutes.
Note When the filter F2.1 backwash in completed, the backwash of filter F2.2 will start
automatically.
3.2.2 Slowly open the manual inlet valve to allow water to enter from the bottom of the
media tank and the backwash control valve. Air will be purged out of the drain line.
Wrtsil id: DAAB859895 -
Continue to fill slowly until all air is expelled and only water flows to drain.
3.2.3 When only water is flowing to drain, open the inlet valve fully.
3.2.4 If found necessary, disconnect the electric cord to control, and backwash the
mineral tank until the water looks clear. Connect the electric cord again.
3.2.5 The control will drive itself to Complete position; this will take less than an hour.
Note When the filter F2.1 backwash in completed, the backwash of filter F2.2 will start
automatically.
3.2.7 When finished with the multi layer filters, open both the effluent valves.
After multi layer filter start-ups the activated carbon filter can be commissioned.
4.1 Check the prefilter housing (F4.1) and the corresponding cartridge.
4.2 Switch on the high pressure pump (CP5.1) for a short period of time just to test the
pump rotation. If necessary, reverse any two of the three main power leads.
Caution Do not run the pumps dry more than few seconds.
4.3 To get a constant pressure, check and open all the needed manual inlet valves right
up to the automatic RO valve AV5.1.
High pressure side: Open the RO system valves HV5.4 and HV5.6 completely.
Check that adjusting valve HV 5.5 is partly open. Close the valve HV6.5.
Permeate: Open permeate valve HV5.11 and HV6.2, close valve HV5.7 (= the
permeate will be led to clean-in-place tank).
Reject: Open the reject valve HV5.9 completely. Close the CIP valve HV6.7.
4.4 Check the pressure level at inlet, pressure indicator PI4.2. If the pressure level is
less than 3 bars check the feed system, all the related valves should be open.
4.5 Open manually the inlet valve AV5.1 to purge air and preservation liquid from the
system.
4.6 If needed, purge the air in the high pressure pump CP5.1 by opening the pump
purge plug.
4.8 Check that the influent will be divided into permeate - pure water, from flow meter
FISA5.1 flowing into wash tank - and into reject (from pressure meter PI5.3, or
from drain line FI5.2). If water is not flowing check that inlet pressure is OK and all
the inlet valves are open.
4.9 Continue the rinsing until the reject is clear and free of odor (and taste), however
not less than 10 minutes.
4.10 Set the feed pump CP5.1 control switch into manual ON (1) mode.
Wrtsil id: DAAB859895 -
4.11 By rotating manual adjusting valve HV5.5 find the minimum feed pressure to reach
a nominal permeate flow of 1.000 liters/hour (FISA5.1; PI5.1 = typically 7-9 bars).
4.12 Continue the flushing until the permeate quality is acceptable (typical conductivity
<200 S/cm), however not less than 10 minutes. If used for drinking water
purposes, flushing should be continued for 2-3 hours or more despite the
conductivity value.
4.14 Set the feed pump CP5.1 control switch into automatic (A) position, the inlet valve
AV5.1 into automatic (A) position and permeate valve AV5.2/AV6.1 into
automatic (A) position. The automatic water production should start.
4.15 By rotating manual valve HV5.5 ensure the minimum feed pressure to reach a
nominal permeate flow of 1000 liters/hour.
4.16 During the run sequence, the reject line pressure indication PI5.3 should reach a
level of 7 9 bars (= PI5.1 less 1 bar, dP [PI5.1 PI5.3] = max 2,0 bars).
Warning During the normal run/water production, NEVER close the reject valve
HV5.9. A permanent loss of flux can follow.
4.17 Check that the pure water tank level switch (LS7.2) will stop the system when the
upper level is reached (tank full). Correspondingly check that the lower level will
start the production (tank empty).

5. Chemical dosing
Some chlorine is dosed into raw water, before it enters the raw water tank.
Warning!
1. Always use protective clothing, gloves and a face mask or a helmet visor.
2. Locate the emergency shower and an eye rinse bottle.
3. Thoroughly read through the safety information given of the chemicals (MSD
sheets)
Adjust the chemical dosing pump MP1.1 settings in a way that the wanted active
chlorine level in the water can be reached. Typically the wanted level is 0.5 1.0
ppm (mg/l). The dosing pump is controlled by a pulse flow meter. The meter gives
a pulse between every 10 liters.
The pump setting is given as pulses between every stroke. The default factory
setting is one pulse per each pulse meaning one stroke per 10 liters and about 0,28
ml/10 liters of water. [1 stroke: 280 mg *12.5 % * 1.10 kg/l = about 35 mg]
Set the pump pulse selector at 3 after which the stroke should happen once per
each 30 liters.
Caution
The only reliable way to control the suitable dosing rate is to measure free/active
chlorine at raw water tank inlet by chemical analysis. Adjust when necessary. Do
not overdose.

6. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Fill in the empty table Setting and setup values. Compare the parameters to
situation during the start-up. The default values should be measured after 24 hours
of normal production.
6.1 On a daily basis, inspect the entire system for leaks, and general condition. Record
the differential pressure across all of the prefilters, and check the permeate
conductivity.
6.2 If the pressure difference across the prefilters rises radically, the backwash
frequency should be changed. Check that the backwash flow rate is stable.
Alternatively change the optional filter bags.
Note Accepted pressure difference (head loss) for prefilters is [pure filter head loss] +
0,51,0 bars.
6.3 If the pressure difference across any of the bag/cartridge filters rises above 0,5 ...
1,0 bars, the bags or cartridges should be changed. The exchange minimum is 2
times/year for each bag/cartridge.
6.4 (Option only) Take care that enough solid salt crystals (NaCl) can be found in the
brine tank. Add if necessary up to 100 kilograms.
6.5 Take care that enough antiscalant (option only) can be found in the chemical tank.
Add if found necessary, see point 5.
6.6 Check the RO inlet pressure PI5.1 and the permeate flow FISA5.1, and act as
follows:
Regarding that after initial start-up a permeate flow of 1000 l/h was achieved with
an average constant pressure of 7,5 bars.
Warning If the chemical wash will not be made early enough and properly, a permanent
loss of flux and flow rate can follow.
6.7 Alarms
General Alarm
--- Potential free contact nr 1
--- Thermal pump protection, dry-run protection
--- Check the influent water pressure
--- Check the pumps
--- Check the pressure switches
OR
--- Permeate Quality Problem
--- RO membranes are plugged/scaled/fouled
--- Check influent water quality
--- Check the conductivity meter settings
--- Check RO run pressures, clean as described in paragraph 7
OR
--- Pure water storage tank level switch at HighHigh level
--- Check all the level switches; change if seen necessary
Make water analysis of the incoming water and filtered water. Make adjustments if
found necessary. At least conductivity, pH, iron, hardness and active chlorine
should be measured.
6.7 Annually
(1) Service the pumps and the pressure tanks according to separate instructions by the
pump manufacturer.
(2) Check the activated filter media quality. Change the media if found necessary and
in any case after 3 years of use.
(3) Check the multi media filter filtering media quality. Change the media if found
necessary and in any case after 3 years of use.
(4) With active chlorine containing waters only: Check the active chlorine level after
the activated carbon filter during normal water production. If the level is higher
than 0,1 mg Cl2/l, the activated carbon must be changed immediately.
(5) Check the permeate quality and the flux/flow after a normal cleaning. If the flow or
the quality cannot be reached, change the membranes. The default life span of the
membranes is 3 7 years depending on the use.

7. CHEMICAL WASH
1. To achieve the same permeate flow, pressure should be risen 10 - 15 % from the
initial pressure.
2. With the same initial pressure permeate flow will drop more than 15 %.
3. Permeate quality is constantly poor.
4. Pressure drop across PI5.1 PI5.3 rises by 10 15 %.
5. Pressure difference switch PDSA5.1 informs to clean the system
Procedure
Warning!
1. Always use protective clothing, gloves and a face mask or a helmet visor.
2. Locate the emergency shower and an eye rinse bottle.
3. Thoroughly read through the safety information given of the chemicals (MSD
sheets)
- Choose a suitable cleaning solution from the list afterwards. The solution depends
on the type of foulant.
Note In severe fouling, the best result can be achieved by making the cleaning twice with
the same liquid or by using both the washing liquids (A, first) and (B, second) one
after another. For silica fouling ask more details.
Caution Before draining into natural waters, always take care of the neutralization of
the spent cleaning chemicals. Normally pH 6-10 is allowed.
Ultrasil-110:
(B) 2 % Citric Acid solution (2 kg in 100 liters of water, pH adjusted to 4,0 with
ammonium hydroxide)
- for iron compounds
- for calcium carbonate
Ultrasil-75:
To reach pH level of 2 use 0,5 2 % liquid (= 0.5 2 kg Ultrasil-75 and 100 liters
permeate). Never let the pH value fall under 1,5 however, the best possible effect is
achieved very near to 1,5.
Caution Before using any other Trademark chemicals ask for details. Consult chemical
manufacturers for cleaning details.
Warning! Never let the pH-value fall below of 1,5 (lowest acceptable limit) or exceed
12,0 (highest acceptable limit). Normal cleaning liquid temperature is 30-35 C. Do
not exceed this without special permission.
HOW TO CLEAN?
7.2 Make sure that the cleaning tank T6.1 is clean and empty, close the bottom valve
HV6.8.
7.3 Fill in the chemicals. If not running, manually start the system and fill in the
cleaning tank. Stop the system at tank full level.
7.5 Make sure that all the electrical switches are in OFF (0) position.
7.7 Open the manual valves HV6.7, HV6.3, HV6.9 and HV6.6 to mix and circulate the
cleaning solution. Start the cleaning pump CP6.1.
7.9 After 5 minutes of mixing open the manual valve HV6.5 and close the manual
valve HV6.6. The cleaning liquid now compensates water in the piping and in the
pressure vessels.
7.10 After 3-5 minutes of circulation, open the cleaning system valve HV6.7 and close
the reject valve HV5.9. The cleaning liquid should now flow in a closed loop.
Measure and adjust the pH of the cleaning liquid. Add fresh chemical if found
necessary.
7.12 Wait for 30 - 60 minutes and start the wash pump CP6.1 again.
7.14 Drain the cleaning tank T6.1 by opening the bottom valve HV6.8, leave the valve
HV6.7 open.
7.15 Close the manual valve HV5.9. Open the manual valve HV6.7 and the automatic
valve AV5.1. Flush the piping, the pressure vessels and the cleaning tank.
7.16 After 2 - 3 minutes, close the cleaning tank bottom valve HV6.8.
7.17 Fill in the cleaning tank. Close the automatic valve AV5.1. Open valve HV5.9 and
close valve 6.7
7.18 Start the wash pump and rinse the system for 5 - 10 minutes.
7.19 Repeat the cleaning phase immediately if found necessary (very colorful cleaning
liquid, etc.). The cleaning with another type of chemical may be done if the wanted
parameters cannot be reached.
7.21 Check the valves as follows (see also the related PI-diagram):
