ROSA – Limiting Scenarios

We should consider the two limiting scenarios:

A) Highest T + Highest FF (short term conditions) + Highest feed TDS

Worst scenario in terms of salt passage and hydraulics of the system (highest flow rate in first elements)

B) Lowest T + Lowest FF (long term conditions) + Highest feed TDS

Worst scenario in terms of energy demand (useful for sizing the high pressure pump)

Page 22: Rosa introduction for water treatment plant

January 20110 22

Flow Factor Concept: FF = 1.0 Nominal element flow performance according

to specification FF = 0.80 80% of nominal element flow performance

Long term FF (+ 3 years) depends strongly on: Temperature, raw water source, pre-treatment, feed pressure, etc.

Feed water type Description

RO Permeate SDI<1 Very-low-salinity, high-purity waters (HPW) coming fromthe first RO systems (double-pass RO system) or thepolishing stage in ultrapure water (UPW) systems with TDSup to 50 mg/L.

Well Water SDI<3 Water from a ground source that has been accessed via well. Usually, has low fouling potential.

Surface Supply SDI<3 Water from rivers, river estuaries and lakes. In most cases it has high TSS, NOM, BOD and colloids. Frequently, surface water quality varies seasonally.Surface Supply SDI<5

Tertiary Effluent (Microfiltration) SDI<3

Industrial and municipal wastewaters have a wide variety of organic and inorganic constituents. Some types of organic components may adversely affect RO/NF membranes, inducing severe flow loss and/or membrane degradation (organic fouling).

Tertiary Effluent (Conventional) SDI<5

Seawater (Well/MF) SDI<3 Well -water from a beach well with any type of pre-treatmentMF –Seawater any type with Microfiltration/Ultrafiltration as a pre-treatment

Seawater (Open Intake) SDI<5 Open intake seawater with conventional pre-treatment

ROSA – Temperature History Effect

Only for SWRO cases

Page 30: Rosa introduction for water treatment plant

January 20110 30

Temperature History Effect -SWRO designs

RO operation at elevated temperatures (35ºC and above) causes an irreversible flow loss that becomes apparent if the system is later operated at lower temperatures (20-35ºC).

This is a phenomenon common to all thin film composite RO membranes operated under similar conditions.

Page 31: Rosa introduction for water treatment plant

January 20110 31

Temperature History Effect -SWRO designs The reduction of permeate flow is usually a combination of both

elevated pressure and temperature and the effect is strongest when elevated temperature and pressure occur simultaneously.

While a number of factors impact this permeate flow loss, the major factors are believed to be:

• Compaction of the microporous polysulfone layer which decreases membrane permeability. Long recognized but not well quantified.

• Intrusion of the membrane composite into the permeate carrier, leading to increased permeate-side pressure drop. This is a function of temperature and pressure, as well as spacer geometry and strength of the composite membrane.

Due to the relatively low pressure in brackish water applications, the performance impact of elevated temperature is much lower compared to seawater conditions.

Multistage systems: Balance the permeate flow rate

Permeate flow rate per element decreases from the feed end to the concentrate end of the system because of• Pressure drop in the feed/concentrate channels• Increasing osmotic pressure of the feed/concentrate

Imbalance of permeate flow rate predominant with• High system recovery

• High feed salinity• Low pressure membranes• High water temperature• New membranes

Page 66: Rosa introduction for water treatment plant

January 20110 66

Why balance the permeate flow rate?• Avoid excessive flux of lead elements• Reduce fouling rate of first stage• Make better use of tail end membranes• Reduce number of elements• Improve product water quality

Methods to balance the permeate flow rate• Boosting the feed pressure between stages• Permeate backpressure to first stage only

• Membranes with lower water permeability in lead positions -membranes with higher water permeability in tail positions

Multistage systems: Balance the permeate flow rate

Page 67: Rosa introduction for water treatment plant

January 20110 67

Each element in a system should operate within certain limits To minimize concentration polarization:

•permeate flow rate below upper limit

•element recovery below upper limit

•concentrate flow rate above lower limit To avoid physical damage:

• feed flow rate below upper limit

•pressure drop below upper limit

• feed pressure below upper limit

System design guidelines

Page 68: Rosa introduction for water treatment plant

January 20110 68

System design guidelines

Page 69: Rosa introduction for water treatment plant

January 20110 69

Principle: Elements with the lowest production and highest rejection in the first positions and elements with the highest production in the rear positions of the vessel

Advantages vs. conventional configuration• Better hydraulics resulting in lower flux in the front modules:

o Lower fouling potential -> lower energy requiredo Less cleaning needed -> longer membrane life

• Lower energy requirement for a given production and/or higher production for a given pressure due to the use of high flow elements in the rear positions

ROSA – Checking Second Limiting Scenario: Lowest T + Lowest FF

• Example: Lowest T= 16 ºC, low Flow Factor

To change from one case to another we can use 3 ways:

1.Click on the drop-down list

2.Move the cursor on the bar

3.Click next to the number

First add a new case, the previous data will be copied automatically

Plant Design using ROSA

Cost Analysis - Element Value Analysis (EVA)

The Element Value Analysis (EVA) tool has been added to ROSA to allow for a snapshot economic comparison of different elements operating in the same system under the same operating parameters.

While RO system modeling software historically provides a snapshot comparison of the performance parameters such as feed pressure and permeate quality, EVA provides an added dimension allowing the system designer to also evaluate the impact of product selection on the lifetime operational cost of the system.

There are a significant number of cost factors outside of RO element selection; EVA is a comparison tool only and is not a guarantee of actual capital or operating costs.

1. Water analysis 2. Feed: • Well water• pre-filtered to 3μm• TDS=1290 ppm

3. Permeate Flow: • 92.89 m3/h

4. Recovery: 87%

5. Temperature: 16 and 20ºC

6. Permeate quality: • TDS < 50 ppm

7. Focus on OPEX

Page 85: Rosa introduction for water treatment plant

January 20110 85

Example - Membrane Element Selection

According to:

i. System capacity: permeate flow 92.89m3/h, than for flows > 2.3 m3/h the element diameter should be 8.0”

ii. Feed water TDS: TDS=1290 ppm very close to 1000 ppm,

then we can try LE membrane element or in case the permeate quality is not met try BW30

iii. Feed water fouling potential: well water, conventional pre-treatment, doesn’t have high biological fouling potential

iv. Required product water quality: conductivity <100 μS/cm we should meet the quality with LE

v. Energy requirements: LE has lower energy requirements, than BW30 – we should choose LE

Example - ROSA - Introduction of known data

In our example we have Brackish water, therefore we choose 0.95

In our example:

Permeate Flow 92.89 m3/h Recovery 87%

• Worst scenario in terms of salt passage and hydraulics of the system (High Temperature + High Flow Factor):

Page 87: Rosa introduction for water treatment plant

January 20110 87

Example - Configuration SelectionWe should choose two stage system – since high recovery is required

results in a warning on the ROSA Report.

By adding some back pressure, the first stage will produce less.

Example - ROSA permeate flow balancing

Back pressure valve

De-select the ¨Same back pressure¨ icon

Introduce the Back pressure value in the Back Pressure box

Page 91: Rosa introduction for water treatment plant

January 20110 91

Example - ROSA Report

No design warnings

Water quality with TDS <50 ppm

Back Pressure is added to the Feed Pressure
