5 What is the Design Qualification Pressure for the pressure vessels?
The design is qualified by building a prototype vessel that is subjected to 100,000 cycles over a pressure range of atmospheric pressure to that of the design pressure. Then the prototype vessel that is cycle tested is subjected to hydrostatic qualification test and the prototype vessel has to withstand a pressure not less than SIX times the design pressure.

13 What is the pH tolerance range for First Line pressure vessels?
The pH tolerance range is 3 – 11
14 What is the effect on the pH of water after passing through RO membranes?
The pH of water slightly decreases after RO membranes.
15 Why is pre-treatment of raw water necessary in RO?
It is necessary to increase the life of membranes and decrease the operation and maintenance problems.
16 What is the most popular configuration of pre-treatment of RO?
Chlorination – Filtration – Dechlorination – Antiscalant Dosing – Micron Filtration.
17 What is double pass RO?
In double pass RO the two RO systems are used in series. Normally double pass RO is used when high purity of water is desired.
